Multiple Ascending Doses of SY-008 in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-increasing, multiple oral administration clinical trial. The planned dose increasing level was 6, 12 and 18 mg daily dose (3 administration groups).

After the completion of the test and safety evaluation of the initial dose 6mg daily dose group, the main researchers of the team leader and the sponsor jointly determine whether to enter the 12mg daily dose study.

After the completion of the test and safety evaluation of the 12 mg daily dose group, the main researchers of the team leader and the sponsor jointly determine whether to enter the 18 mg daily dose study.
