A Research Study Looking at How Oral Semaglutide Works in People With Type 2 Diabetes in Germany, as Part of Local Clinical Practice (PIONEER REAL)

September 27, 2022 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S

A Multi-centre, Prospective, Non-interventional Single-arm Study Investigating Clinical Parameters Associated With the Use of Once-daily Oral Semaglutide in a Real-world Adult Population With Type 2 Diabetes in Germany

The purpose of the study is to collect information on how Rybelsus® works in people with type 2 diabetes and to see if Rybelsus® can lower their blood sugar levels. Participants will get Rybelsus® as prescribed to them by the study doctor. The study will last for about 34-44 weeks. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires about how they take their Rybelsus® tablets. Participants will complete the questionnaires during their normally scheduled visit with the study doctor.

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

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Adult patients with type 2 diabetes and naïve to injectable glucose-lowering treatment.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Signed consent obtained before any study-related activities (study-related activities are any procedure related to recording of data according to the protocol).
  • Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
  • The decision to initiate treatment with commercially available oral semaglutide has been made by the patient/Legally Acceptable Representative (LAR) and the treating physician based on local label before and independently from the decision to include the patient in this study.
  • Male or female, age above or equal to 18 years at the time of signing informed consent.
  • Available HbA1c value less than or equal to (≤) 90 days prior to the 'Informed Consent and Treatment Initiation visit' (V1) or HbA1c measurement taken in relation with the 'Informed Consent and Treatment Initiation visit' (V1) if in line with local clinical practice.
  • Treatment naïve to injectable glucose-lowering drug(s). An exception is short-term insulin treatment for acute illness for a total of less than (<) 14 days.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous participation in this study. Participation is defined as having given informed consent in this study.
  • Treatment with any investigational drug within 30 days prior to enrolment into the study.
  • Mental incapacity, unwillingness or language barriers precluding adequate understanding or cooperation.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
Patients with type 2 diabetes
Adult patients with type 2 diabetes and naïve to injectable glucose-lowering treatment.
Drug: Oral Semaglutide
Patients will be treated with commercially available oral semaglutide according to local label and to routine clinical practice at the discretion of the treating physician. The decision to initiate treatment with commercially available oral semaglutide has been made by the patient/Legally Acceptable Representative (LAR) and the treating physician based on local label before and independently from the decision to include the patient in this study.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c )
Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
Percent-points.
From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Relative change in body weight
Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
Percent.
From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
Absolute change in body weight
Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
Kilogram (Kg).
From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
HbA1c <7% (Yes or No)
Time Frame: End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
Percentage of patients achieving or not achieving HbA1c <7% (Yes or No).
End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
HbA1c reduction >=1%-points and body weight reduction of >=5% (Yes/No)
Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
Percentage of patients achieving or not achieving HbA1c reduction >=1%-points and body weight reduction of >=5%.
From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
HbA1c reduction >=1%-points and body weight reduction of >=3% (Yes/No)
Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
Percentage of patients achieving or not achieving HbA1c reduction >=1%-points and body weight reduction of >=3%.
From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire, change (DTSQc), relative treatment satisfaction
Time Frame: End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
The DTSQc provides a measure of how satisfied participants are with their current diabetes treatment compared with previous treatment. It consists of 8 questions, which are to be answered on a Likert scale from -3 to +3 (-3 = much less satisfied now to +3 = much more satisfied now), with 0 (midpoint), representing no change. Six questions are summed to produce a Total treatment satisfaction score. The remaining two questions concern perceived frequency of hyperglycemia and perceived frequency of hypoglycemia, respectively. The DTSQc Total treatment satisfaction score ranges from -18 to +18, with higher scores associated with greater treatment satisfaction.
End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire, status (DTSQs), change in absolute treatment satisfaction
Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
The DTSQs items are scored on a 7-point graded response scale ranging from 6 to 0. Higher scores indicate higher levels of treatment satisfaction for DTSQs items.
From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
