What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Metformin Hydrochloride 500 MGDrug

    Metformin is an antihyperglycemic drug used in the management of type-2 diabetes. Metformin hydrochloride improves glucose tolerance in patients with type 2 diabetes, lowering both basal and postprandial plasma glucose. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Geometric Mean Ratio

    The ratio between maximum concentration of test drug and reference drug after drug administration

    Measured: 0-24 hours post dose

  2. Geometric Mean Ratio

    The ratio between area under curve from 0 to 24 hours of test drug and reference drug

    Measured: 0-24 hours post dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pharmacokinetics Parameter

    Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: 0-24 hours post dose

  2. Pharmacokinetics Parameter

    Area Under Curve from 0 to 24 hours (AUCt)

    Measured: 0-24 hours post dose

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Indonesia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Geometric Mean Ratio (time frame: 0-24 hours post dose). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05753371, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
