Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07244003 (MESSAGE) is designed to study Treatment for T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus). It is a Phase 4 interventional study that is recruiting, having started on March 29, 2025, with plans to enroll 430 participants. Led by Hangzhou Zhongmei Huadong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., it is expected to complete by June 30, 2028. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on November 24, 2025.
Brief Summary
The main objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of the triple combination therapy of Met/SGLT-2i/GLP-1RA or other oral antidiabetic drugs in patients with type 2 diabetes exhibiting poor glycemic control.

ExperimentalMet+SGLT-2i+GLP-1RA
Metformin+Ganagliflozin+Liraglutide
Metformin
The dosage of metformin hydrochloride was consistent with baseline.
ganagliflozin
Ganagliflozin tablet : 50mg/d.
liraglutide
Liraglutide injection: 0.6 mg/d for the first week, 1.2 mg/d for the second week, and 1.8 mg/d after the third week.
Active ComparatorTriple Therapy of Other Oral Antidiabetic Drugs
Building upon the previously stable treatment regimen, the addition of 1-2 oral hypoglycemic agents (excluding SGLT-2 inhibitors and oral GLP-1 receptor agonists) constitutes a triple oral hypoglycemic regimen.
Triple Therapy of Other Oral Antidiabetic Drugs
The dosage of metformin hydrochloride was consistent with baseline. The usage and dosage of other hypoglycemic drugs were referred to their respective instructions.
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
The change of HbA1c compared to the baseline
from baseline to week 24
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
The proportion of participants achieving HbA1c, blood pressure, and cholesterol targets
HbA1c ≤ 7.0% Blood pressure \< 130/80 mmHg For subjects without ASCVD, LDL-C \< 2.6 mmol/L; for subjects with ASCVD, LDL-C \< 1.8 mmol/L (\< 70 mg/dL)
week 24
The proportion of patients achieving HbA1c target without hypoglycemia or weight gainning
HbA1c target ≤ 7.0% The definition of hypoglycemia is: Blood glucose \< 70 mg/dL ( \< 3.9 mmol/L), regardless of whether there are symptoms of hypoglycemia.
