Efficacy and Safety of LC-Z300-01 in Chinese With Type 2 Diabetes

This trial is conducted in China. The aim of the trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of an Bamboo cane polysaccharide (oral LC-Z300-01) in subjects with type 2 diabetes.

Considering the rights and interests, the trial is divided into two phases. The first phase is a double-blind group, in which subjects are randomly assigned to the blank control group, the low-dose experimental group, and the high-dose experimental group to observe the changes in glycosylated hemoglobin and CGMS compared with the baseline, as well as safety events.

The second phase is an open-label group, in which the three groups are willing to freely enter the high-dose experimental group and further observe recovery and safety.
