Description
Rakesh Sahay and co-authors ran a phase three trial in India on a three-drug single pill for type 2 diabetes, in a study published in 2026. The pill was compared with the same backbone given as separate pills. Patients joined with poor control despite already taking two of the drugs. Nearly four hundred adults were assigned by chance to the groups for sixteen weeks.
The triple pill paired sitagliptin with metformin and a low dose of glimepiride. The comparison used metformin with a double dose of glimepiride. Control improved more with the triple pill. The key marker dropped about one point eight points against one point three. Roughly a third of patients reached the target range, about twice the comparison share. Side effect rates were similar in both groups.
