RECAM (NCT04807348) · Type 2 Diabetes
The completed lead evidence has the design features that historically survive confirmatory trials: randomized, controlled, and adequately powered against a prespecified clinically accepted endpoint.
RECAM (NCT04807348): In this randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial, 533 patients on background metformin were randomized to chiglitazar 32mg, 48mg, or placebo. At 24 weeks, both chiglitazar doses reduced HbA1c significantly more than placebo (p<0.001 for each dose vs placebo).
