  Purpose

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to investigate the bioequivalence (assessment of the expected biological equivalence of two pharmaceutical drug products with identical active ingredient) between subcutaneous injections of semaglutide produced by two manufacturing processes.

Further study details as provided by Novo Nordisk:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Area under the plasma semaglutide concentration curve [ Time Frame: 0-4 weeks after a single dose s.c. semaglutide administration ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Cmax, the maximum plasma semaglutide concentration [ Time Frame: 20-40 hours after a single dose s.c. semaglutide administration ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • The area under the plasma semaglutide concentration curve [ Time Frame: From time 0 to infinity after a single dose s.c. semaglutide administration ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • tmax, time to Cmax of semaglutide [ Time Frame: 20-40 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • t½, terminal elimination half-life of semaglutide [ Time Frame: 140-200 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Incidence of adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: From first dosing to follow-up (5-7 weeks after the second dosing) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Hypoglycaemic episodes [ Time Frame: From first dosing to follow-up (5-7 weeks after the second dosing) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
