ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is investigating how well two different forms of insulin work in the body for healthy Chinese males. Specifically, it compares insulin capsules to insulin injections to see which one is more effective and how they are absorbed. The goal is to learn more about these insulin options, which could help improve diabetes treatment in the future.
To participate, you need to be a healthy male between the ages of 20 and 35, with a normal body weight and good blood sugar levels. You also need to be free from major health issues and not be taking certain medications or supplements that could affect the results. If you join the study, you will undergo health checks and will be closely monitored as you take either the insulin capsules or injections. This trial is not yet recruiting, so there’s no need to apply just yet, but if you meet the criteria, it could be an opportunity to contribute to important diabetes research.
