Brief Summary
This trial is conducted in Asia. The aim of the trial is to investigate the pharmacokinetics
(the exposure of the trial drug in the body), pharmacodynamics (the effect of the
investigated drug on the body), safety and tolerability of oral semaglutide in healthy male
Japanese and Caucasian subjects.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Presence or history of diabetes, cancer or any clinically significant cardiac,
respiratory, metabolic, renal, hepatic, GI (gastrointestinal), endocrine,
dermatological, venereal, haematological, neurological, or psychiatric diseases or
disorders, as judged by the investigator. Any disorder which, in the opinion of the
investigator, might jeopardise subject's safety or compliance with the protocol
- Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine
neoplasia type 2 (MEN2)
- History of chronic pancreatitis or idiopathic acute pancreatitis
- Smoking of more than 5 cigarettes (including nicotine substitute products), or the
equivalent, per day or unwilling to refrain from smoking whenever required for the
trial procedure
- Use of prescription drugs within 3 weeks or 5 times the half-life, whichever is
longer, prior to Visit 2 (Day 1), non-prescription drugs within 1 week prior to Visit
2 (Day 1). The use of vitamins and minerals, and the occasional use of paracetamol
(acetaminophen) or acetylsalicylic acid are permitted
- Any blood drawn in excess of 25 mL in the past month, or donation of blood or plasma
in excess of 400 mL within the 3 months preceding screening
- Previous GI surgery such as invasive and corrective procedures involving the
oesophagus, stomach, duodenum, gallbladder (e.g., cholecystectomy), pancreas or
intestinal resections. Exempt are subjects that underwent uncomplicated surgical and
diagnostic procedures such as appendectomy, hernia surgery, polypectomy, biopsies, as
wells as colonic and gastric endoscopy

Conditions
Conditions usually refer to a disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury. In ClinicalTrials.gov,
conditions include any health issue worth studying, such as lifespan, quality of life, health risks, etc.
Interventions
Interventions refer to the drug, vaccine, procedure, device, or other potential treatment being studied.
Interventions can also include less intrusive possibilities such as surveys, education, and interviews.
Study Phase
Most clinical trials are designated as phase 1, 2, 3, or 4, based on the type of questions
that study is seeking to answer:
In Phase 1 (Phase I) clinical trials, researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people (20-80) for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
In Phase 2 (Phase II) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (100-300) to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
In Phase 3 (Phase III) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (1,000-3,000) to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
In Phase 4 (Phase IV) clinical trials, post marketing studies delineate additional information including the drug's risks, benefits, and optimal use.
These phases are defined by the Food and Drug Administration in the Code of Federal Regulations.
