A Research Study Comparing Active Drug in the Blood in Healthy Participants Following Dosing of the Current and a New Formulation (C) Semaglutide Tablets

What this study is testing ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04109508 ↗

Description as written by the study sponsor.

In this study two different tablets for oral use of a known investigational medicinal product, called semaglutide, will be tested. Besides semaglutide, the current version of the tablet contains 300 mg SNAC and 3 helping agents, while the new version of the tablet contains 300 mg SNAC and only one helping agent. Both are for the treatment of diabetes. Currently, semaglutide is only prescribed as injections for the treatment of diabetes in some countries. Semaglutide cannot yet be prescribed as a tablet. The aim of this study is to find out if the dosage strength of the current formulation of semaglutide can be reduced in the new tablet formulation. For this purpose, it will be measured how much semaglutide is taken up in the body from the two (2) different tablet formulations each with three (3) different dosage strengths. Participants will get semaglutide in the current tablet formulation and in a new formulation - in which order they receive the two different formulations is decided by chance. Participants will get one tablet per day over 4 weeks in each of the 3 treatment periods (i.e. treatment for a total of 12 weeks). The tablets should be taken in the morning together with half a glass of water (120 mL), after an overnight fast of at least 6 hours (no food or drinks). Furthermore, water is not allowed from 2 hours before dosing. After dosing participants must wait 30 minutes before they may eat or drink. At home, they must take their breakfast 30-45 minutes after dosing.
