About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase II Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Fuling Yunhua Granules and Dihuang Baoyuan Granules in Adult Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Poor Glycemic Control Despite Diet and Exercise Intervention

This trial tests whether Fuling Yunhua Granules and Dihuang Baoyuan Granules, alone or in sequence, lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar remains high despite diet and exercise. It will also assess their safety.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II study. About 150 participants aged 18-70 will be randomly assigned to one of six groups: Fuling Yunhua monotherapy, Dihuang Baoyuan monotherapy, sequential low-dose, sequential high-dose, low-dose placebo, or high-dose placebo. Neither participants nor researchers will know who gets which treatment.

The trial includes a 4-week run-in period (diet and exercise only), 24 weeks of daily treatment, and a 12-week follow-up after stopping treatment. Participants whose blood sugar stays healthy may continue follow-up for up to 52 weeks after stopping treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fuling Yunhua Granules and Dihuang Baoyuan Granules in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Beijing Supreme Life Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 27 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Shen Wu (+86-10-64028110, wushen@tcmlive.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from Baseline in Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 24 (time frame: Baseline and Week 24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Nov 2026.
