About this study

Official title: A Dose Escalation Study to Investigate the Pharmacokinetics, Tolerability and Safety of Liraglutide After Multiple s.c. Doses in Healthy Chinese Male Subjects

This trial is conducted in Asia. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the blood concentration of liraglutide (pharmacokinetics) as well as the effects on glucose and insulin (pharmacodynamics) after 21 days of daily subcutaneous injections (injected under the skin) of liraglutide or placebo. In addition, the safety and tolerability of liraglutide will be observed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. AUC 0-24h (last dosing day): Area under the plasma liraglutide curve from 0 to 24 hours after last dosing.

    Measured: After 21 days of treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. AUC 0-24h: Area under the plasma liraglutide curve from 0 to 24 hours after first dosing, AUC0-24h (Day 1)

    Measured: After 1 day of treatment

  2. Adverse events

    Measured: After 21 days of treatment

  3. Hypoglycaemic events

    Measured: After 21 days of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing liraglutide in people with Diabetes and Healthy, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

AUC 0-24h (last dosing day): Area under the plasma liraglutide curve from 0 to 24 hours after last dosing. (time frame: After 21 days of treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00761540, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jan 2017.
