About this study

Official title: An Open-label, One-sequence Cross Over, Single Centre Trial, Investigating the Influence of Semaglutide on Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Warfarin and Pharmacokinetics of Metformin in Healthy Subjects

This trial is conducted in Europe and Asia. The aim of the trial is to investigate the influence of semaglutide on pharmacokinetics (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) and pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) of warfarin and pharmacokinetics of metformin in healthy subjects.

Being tested
semaglutide, placebo, metformin, warfarin
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What participants receive

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

  • semaglutideDrug

    Subjects will initiate treatment with 0.25 mg for the first four weeks followed by dose doubling every four weeks up to a dose of 1.0 mg.

  • placeboDrug

    Semaglutide placebo will be administered s.c.

  • metforminDrug

    For oral administration twice daily, in two periods, each of 3.5 days duration. The first period is initiated before semaglutide treatment and the second period is initiated at the end of semaglutide treatment.

  • warfarinDrug

    For oral administration, given as a single dose. The first dose is given before semaglutide treatment and the second dose is given at the end of semaglutide treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the metformin plasma concentration-time curve

    Measured: During a dosing interval (0-12 hours) after the last of 7 repeated doses of metformin without semaglutide exposure (Day 4) and at semaglutide steady state (Day 104)

  2. Area under the S-warfarin plasma concentration-time curve

    Measured: From time 0 to 168 hours after a single dose of warfarin without semaglutide exposure (Day 11) and at semaglutide steady state (Day 111)

  3. Area under the R-warfarin plasma concentration-time curve

    Measured: From time 0 to 168 hours after a single dose of warfarin without semaglutide exposure (Day 11) and at semaglutide steady state (Day 111)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Maximum observed metformin plasma concentration at steady state

    Measured: From dosing until 30 hours after the last of 7 repeated doses without semaglutide exposure and at semaglutide steady state (metformin administration on Days 4 and 104)

  2. Maximum observed S-warfarin plasma concentration after single dose

    Measured: (0-168 hours) after a single dose of warfarin without semaglutide exposure and at semaglutide steady state (warfarin administrations on Days 11 and 111)

  3. Maximum observed R-warfarin plasma concentration after single dose

    Measured: (0-168 hours) after a single dose of warfarin without semaglutide exposure and at semaglutide steady state (warfarin administrations on Days 11 and 110)

  4. Incremental area under the INR (international normalised ratio) -curve

    Measured: From 0 to 168 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing semaglutide, metformin and warfarin in people with Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 4 Apr 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 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?

Area under the metformin plasma concentration-time curve (time frame: During a dosing interval (0-12 hours) after the last of 7 repeated doses of metformin without semaglutide exposure (Day 4) and at semaglutide steady state (Day 104)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02022254, 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 4 Apr 2017.
