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 55 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male and female, age between 18 and 55 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent
  • Body mass index between 20.0 and 29.9 kg/m^2 (both inclusive)

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. Women of child-bearing potential must use an effective method of birth control throughout the trial including the 5 weeks follow-up period. 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 device), or sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner
  • Any clinically significant disease history, in the opinion of the investigator, or systemic or organ disease including: cardiac, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic, neurologic, renal, genitourinary and endocrine, dermatologic or hematologic diseases
  • Use of prescription or non-prescription systemic or topical medicinal products (including routine or non-routine vitamins or herbal supplements, but excluding paracetamol and contraceptives) within 3 weeks (or within 5 half-lives of the medicinal product, whichever is longest) prior to Visit 2 (first dose administration)
  • History of drug/chemical substance abuse within 1 year from screening, or a positive result in the urine drug test
  • History of alcohol abuse within 1 year from screening, or a positive result in the alcohol urine test, or consumption of more than 21 units (male)/14 units (female) of alcohol weekly (one unit of alcohol equals about 250 mL of beer or lager, one glass (120 mL) of wine, or 20 mL spirits)
  • Smoking in the last 3 months prior to screening or a positive nicotine test

What participants receive

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

  • semaglutideDrug

    Administered as a subcutaneous injection (s.c., under the skin). Initiated with weekly semaglutide dosing of 0.25 mg in the first 4 weeks, 0.5 mg the next 4 weeks, and 1.0 mg in the third 4 week period.

  • digoxinDrug

    Oral administration. Digoxin will be given as 2 single doses of 0.5 mg.

  • atorvastatinDrug

    Oral administration. Atorvastatin will be given as 2 single doses of 40 mg.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the atorvastatin plasma concentration-time curve

    Measured: From time 0 to 72 hours after a single dose

  2. Area under the digoxin plasma concentration-time curve

    Measured: From time 0 to 120 hours after a single dose

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Maximum observed atorvastatin plasma concentration

    Measured: From time 0 to 72 hours after a single dose

  2. Maximum observed digoxin plasma concentration

    Measured: From time 0 to 120 hours after a single dose

  3. Number of treatment emergent AEs (TEAEs)

    Measured: From baseline (Visit 2, Day 1) to follow-up (Visit 12, 20 weeks after baseline)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing semaglutide, digoxin and atorvastatin 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 atorvastatin plasma concentration-time curve (time frame: From time 0 to 72 hours after a single dose). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02243098, 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.
