• Any other sound medical, psychiatric and/or social reason as determined by the investigator.
• Any of the following on ECG prior to study drug administration:

• PR≥210ms
• QRS≥120ms
• QT≥500ms
• QTcF≥450ms(male) or QTcF≥470ms(female)
• Positive urine screen for drugs of abuse.
• Any clinically significant abnormal findings in urinalysis (may repeat once) at screening, as judged by the investigator.
• Glucosuria at screening.
• Abnormal liver function tests (alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST], or total bilirubin > 10% above upper limit of normal [ULN]).
• Elevated serum creatinine (> ULN).
• Positive blood screen for HIV antibody , Syphilis antibody, hepatitis C antibody , or Hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) or only Hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) in Hepatitis B serologic test.
• History of allergy to SGLT2 inhibitor drug class or related compounds.
• History of allergy or intolerance to metformin or other similar acting agents.
• History of any significant drug allergy (such as anaphylaxis or hepatotoxicity).
• Prior exposure to metformin or dapagliflozin within 3 months of study drug administration.
• Exposure to any investigational product or placebo within 4 weeks prior to study drug administration.
• Use of any prescription drugs or over-the counter (OTC), traditional Chinese medicine and herbal preparations within 4 weeks prior to study drug administration.
• Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to AstraZeneca staff or staff at the study site).
• Previous enrolled or randomized in the present study.
• For women only - currently pregnant (confirmed with positive pregnancy test) or breastfeeding.
• Judgment by the investigator that the participant should not participate in the study if the participant is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions, and requirements.
• Has clinical signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19 infection (eg fever, dry cough, dyspnea, sore throat, fatigue.. etc) as judged by investigator or confirmed infection by appropriate laboratory test within the last 4 weeks prior to screening or on admission.
