Research Study Comparing Different Tablets With the Study Medicine Semaglutide in Healthy Men

November 13, 2019 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S

A Trial Comparing Exposure of Semaglutide When Dosing New Formulations of Oral Semaglutide to Healthy Male Subjects

This study looks at different tablets with a new study medicine called semaglutide. It is to treat diabetes. The aim of the study is to find out how much study medicine from 4 different tablets is taken up in the body. Participants will either get semaglutide in the tablet currently being studied in large studies, or 1 of the 3 new tablets that also contains 'semaglutide' - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The tablet version of study medicine is a new medicine that cannot be prescribed. Semaglutide can be prescribed as injections for the treatment of diabetes in some countries. Participants will get 1 tablet per day for 10 days. The tablets should be taken in the morning by mouth together with half a glass of water. After dosing participants have to wait 30 minutes before participants may eat or drink. The study will last up to 70 days. Participants will have 17 clinic visits with the study doctor. Some of the visits are overnight stays. Participants will have blood tests at every visit.

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 to 64 years (ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

Male

Inclusion Criteria: - Male, aged 18-64 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent. - Body mass index (BMI) between 20.0 and 29.9 kg/m^2 (both inclusive). - Considered to be generally healthy based on the medical history, physical examination, and the results of vital signs, electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests performed during the screening visit, as judged by the investigator. Exclusion Criteria: - Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) greater than or equal to 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) at screening. - Use of tobacco and nicotine products, defined as any of the below: a) Smoking more than 5 cigarettes or the equivalent per day. b) Not willing to refrain from smoking and use of nicotine substitute products during the in-house period(s). - History* of major surgical procedures involving the stomach potentially affecting absorption of trial products (e.g., subtotal and total gastrectomy, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass surgery). - Presence of clinically significant gastrointestinal disorders or symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders potentially affecting absorption of drugs or nutrients, as judged by the investigator. - Personal or first degree relative(s) history of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 or medullary thyroid carcinoma*. - History* or presence of pancreatitis (acute or chronic). *As declared by subject.
