The University of Exeter awarded a contract to Tayside Pharmaceuticals for the provision of over-encapsulated Sitagliptin (Januvia), Pioglitazone (Actos), and Canagliflozin (Invokana) for a double-blind randomised clinical trial.

The contract, valued at £528,571, supports the Trimaster trial, a Medical Research Council-funded study sponsored by the Royal Devon & Exeter NHS Foundation Trust.

The trial aims to develop a stratified approach for Type 2 diabetes by comparing patient responses to three glucose-lowering therapies—a DPP4 inhibitor, an SGLT2 inhibitor, and a thiazolidinedione—as third-line treatment in 600 patients.
