A Single-dose and Multiple-dose Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of DBPR108 Tablets in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

This is a phase I study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of single-dose and multiple-dose of DBPR108 tablets in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients.

This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics characteristics, single-dose and multiple-dose of DBPR108 tablets in Chinese Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients. The 30 eligible patients will be randomized to receive 50 mg, 100 mg, or 200 mg DBPR108 tablets.
