Effect of Retatrutide Compared With Semaglutide in Adult Participants With Type 2 Diabetes and Inadequate Glycemic Control With Metformin With or Without SGLT2 Inhibitor (TRANSCEND-T2D-2)

NCT06260722 on ClinicalTrials.gov · last registry update 2026-04-13

An unusually large phase 3: 1,250 participants, more than double the 424 typical for the stage. Its estimated completion date, August 2026, has passed with no update to the record. Primary outcome, as filed: Change from Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (%). A lapsed estimate is not a result and not a failure — sponsors are slow to refile — but ClinicalTrials.gov marks it nowhere on the record, so it is noted here. semaglutide is already approved in the US for type 2 diabetes, so this is asking a further question rather than establishing the drug works at all.
