What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • insulin degludec/liraglutideDrug

    Subjects will be randomised to one out of six possible treatment sequences. Single dose, administered subcutaneously (under the skin) on three separate dosing visits.

  • liraglutideDrug

    Subjects will be randomised to one out of six possible treatment sequences. Single dose, administered subcutaneously (under the skin) on three separate dosing visits.

What is being measured

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

  1. The area under insulin degludec concentration-time curve

    Measured: from 0-infinity hours after trial product administration

  2. The area under liraglutide concentration-time curve

    Measured: from 0-infinity hours after trial product administration

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The area under insulin degludec concentration-time curve

    Measured: from 0-120 hours after trial product administration

  2. The area under liraglutide concentration-time curve

    Measured: from 0-72 hours after trial product administration

  3. Maximum concentration of insulin degludec

    Measured: from 0-120 hours after trial product administration

  4. Maximum concentration of liraglutide

    Measured: from 0-72 hours after trial product administration

  5. Number of hypoglycaemic episodes

    Measured: From day 0 to 7-14 days after 3rd trial product administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

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

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 4 inclusion and 20 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 2 Oct 2015. 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 Germany. 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. 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?

The area under insulin degludec concentration-time curve (time frame: from 0-infinity hours after trial product administration). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 2 Oct 2015.
