Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female, age 18-60 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent
  • Body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 27.0 and less than 35.0 kg/m^2
  • Bodyweight up to 130.0 kg (inclusive)
  • HbA1c (glycosylated haemoglobin) below 6.5%

Who cannot join

  • Female who is pregnant, breast-feeding or intends to become pregnant or is of child-bearing potential and not using an adequate contraceptive method. Only highly effective methods of birth control are accepted (i.e. one that results in less than 1% per year failure rate when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine devices), or sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner
  • History or presence of cancer, or any clinically significant cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, endocrine (incl. diabetes), haematological, dermatological, venereal, neurological, psychiatric diseases or other major disorders that might have impact on the trial, as judged by the investigator
  • Use of any prescription or non-prescription medication, except for paracetamol, acetylsalicylic acid, contraceptives and vitamins (but including mega-dose vitamin therapy, as judged by the investigator) within 2 weeks before the trial defined as screening
  • Significant history of alcoholism or drug/chemical abuse within 1 year from screening, or a positive result of the urine drug screen or alcohol breath test, or consuming more than 21 units of alcohol per week (one unit of alcohol equals about 250 mL of beer or lager, one glass of wine (120 mL), or 20 mL spirits)
  • Smoking more than 5 cigarettes, or the equivalent, per day and unable to refrain from smoking during the in-house periods

About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Open-label, Single-centre, Two-period, Cross-over Trial Investigating Bioequivalence Between Single-dose Liraglutide Administered Subcutaneously With Two Different Pen-injectors

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to investigate bioequivalence between single-dose liraglutide administered subcutaneously with two different pen-injectors.

Being tested
liraglutide
Medical subject headings
Nutrition Disorders, Obesity

What participants receive

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

  • liraglutideDrug

    Each subject will receive two single doses of 0.6 mg liraglutide (one with each of the two pen-injectors)

Study groups in NCT02207348
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Liraglutide 0.6 mg s.c. with FlexPen®ExperimentalNot described
Receives: Drug: liraglutide
Liraglutide 0.6 mg s.c. with the PDS290 pen-injectorExperimentalNot described
Receives: Drug: liraglutide

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the liraglutide plasma concentration time curve from 0 to last quantifiable observation (tz) after single dose

    Measured: 0-72 hours following administration of 0.6 mg liraglutide

  2. Maximum observed liraglutide plasma concentration after single dose

    Measured: 0-72 hours following administration of 0.6 mg liraglutide

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Measured: From baseline to follow-up (up to 3 weeks). Baseline is defined as time of first trial drug administration at Visit 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing liraglutide in people with Metabolism and Nutrition Disorder and Obesity, 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 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 9 Dec 2016. 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 liraglutide plasma concentration time curve from 0 to last quantifiable observation (tz) after single dose (time frame: 0-72 hours following administration of 0.6 mg liraglutide). 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 9 Dec 2016.
