Originally inventing the scientific concept of "repairing sensing, rebuilding steady state, and treating diabetes from the source", Hua Medicine has always paid attention to the unmet clinical needs since its establishment, and is committed to developing breakthrough products with subversive concepts , To establish the clinical practice and treatment standards of the disease.

Nowadays, diabetes has become a major public health problem.
According to a survey published by the British Medical Journal (BMJ) in 2020, according to the diagnostic criteria of the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the total number of diabetic patients in China is approximately 130 million.
Compared with the huge number of patients, the awareness rate of type 2 diabetes in China is only 43.
3%, and the treatment rate is only 49.
0%.
In recent years, the state has attached great importance to the prevention and treatment of diabetes.
The "Healthy China Action (2019-2030)" has clearly defined the goal.
By 2030, the awareness rate of diabetes among residents aged 18 and above will reach 60% and above, and the standardized management rate will reach 70%.
And above, diabetes treatment rate, control rate and complication screening rate continue to increase.

In the past decade, the diabetes market has grown rapidly.
In 2019, the global cost of diabetes is about 760 billion U.
S.
dollars; in China, the cost of diabetes is about 109 billion U.
S.
dollars, and the market potential is huge.
With the "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in China (2020 Edition)" issued by the Diabetes Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the "Diabetes Diagnosis and Treatment Pathway (2021 Edition)" of the American Diabetes Association, the concept of "stabilizing sugar" has increasingly become a new approach to diabetes Standard, the development of glucokinase activator with "sugar stabilization" as the core has also attracted much attention.

In December 2020, Hua Medicine announced the successful completion of two phase III registered clinical studies of dozagliflozin.
Among them, SEED (seed study, also known as HMM0301) is a dozagliflozin carried out in patients with untreated type 2 diabetes.
Etin monotherapy trial, DAWN (Dawn Study, also known as HMM0302) is a trial of dozagliflozin combined with metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes who have failed adequate metformin treatment.
Two studies have shown that during the treatment period, dozaglietin can take effect quickly, continuously and effectively reduce glycated hemoglobin, and significantly reduce the blood glucose level two hours after a meal.
It has good safety and tolerability, and can be sustained Improve β cell function and insulin resistance.
Two phase I clinical studies conducted in the first half of 2020 showed that the combination of dozagliflechta and DPP-4 inhibitors and SGLT-2 inhibitors showed a significant synergistic effect in controlling blood sugar, indicating that more Zaxagliptin has broad application potential in type 2 diabetes patients with different sugar control needs and different disease stages.
Another phase I study conducted in patients with end-stage renal impairment showed that dozagliflozin monotherapy can provide treatment opportunities for diabetic nephropathy (DKD), which accounts for about 20%-40% of the population.
It is expected to become an oral hypoglycemic agent for diabetic nephropathy without dosage adjustment.
