Investigating the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability After a Single Subcutaneous Injection of Semaglutide in Subjects With Mild, Moderate or Severe Hepatic Impairment Compared to Subjects With Normal Hepatic Function

December 20, 2017 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S

A Multi-centre, Open-label, Parallel-group Trial Investigating the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability After a Single Subcutaneous Injection of Semaglutide in Subjects With Mild, Moderate or Severe Hepatic Impairment Compared to Subjects With Normal Hepatic Function

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to investigate the pharmacokinetics (the exposure of the trial drug in the body), safety and tolerability after a single injection of semaglutide in subjects with mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment compared to subjects with normal hepatic function.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female, age at least 18 years at the time of signing informed consent
  • Body mass index (BMI) 18.5-40.0 kg/m^2 (both inclusive)
  • Only for subjects with hepatic impairment (mild, moderate and severe): A diagnosis of cirrhosis due to parenchymal liver disease, classified as Child-Pugh grade A,B or C as assessed by investigator and which is confirmed and documented by medical history, physical examination and at least one of the following: hepatic ultrasound,computerised axial tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and/or liver biopsy
  • Only for subjects with normal hepatic function: Subjects who are judged to be in good general health based on physical examination, medical history, ECG, vital signs, and the results of biochemistry, coagulation, haematology tests and urinalysis performed during the screening visit, as judged by the investigator

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Female who is pregnant, breast-feeding or intends to become pregnant or is of child-bearing potential not using an adequate contraceptive method throughout the trial including the follow-up period (adequate contraceptive measures as required by local regulation or practice)
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure above or equal to 180 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure above or equal to 100 mmHg). If white-coat hypertension is suspected at the screening visit a repeated measurement at the screening visit is allowed
  • Mental inability, unwillingness or language barrier precluding adequate understanding of or compliance with trial procedures
  • Donation of any blood or plasma in the past month or in excess of 400 mL within the 3 months preceding screening, or surgery or trauma with more than 400 mL blood loss within the 3 months preceding screening

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Area under the semaglutide plasma concentration-time curve
Time Frame: Day 1 - day 36
Day 1 - day 36

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Maximum observed semaglutide plasma concentration
Time Frame: Day 1 - day 36
Day 1 - day 36
Number of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
Time Frame: Day 1 - day 36
Day 1 - day 36
