Occurrence of Anti-semaglutide Neutralising Antibodies Cross Reacting With Native GLP-1 (Yes/no)
This outcome measure is only applicable for the oral semaglutide 14 mg treatment arm. Number of participants who measured with anti-semaglutide neutralising antibodies cross reacting with native GLP-1 anytime during post-baseline visits (weeks 0-31) are presented. Results are based on the data from the in-trial observation period, which was the time period from when a participant was randomised until the final scheduled visit, including any period after initiation of rescue medication and/or premature discontinuation of trial product.
Measured: Weeks 0-31
Anti-semaglutide Binding Antibody Levels
This outcome measure is only applicable for the oral semaglutide 14 mg treatment arm. It is based on the data from participants who were measured with anti-semaglutide antibodies anytime during post-baseline visits (weeks 0-31). Results are presented as percentage of bound radioactivity-labelled semaglutide /total added radioactivity-labelled semaglutide (%B/T). Results are based on the data from the in-trial observation period, which was the time period from when a participant was randomised until the final scheduled visit, including any period after initiation of rescue medication and/or premature discontinuation of trial product.
Measured: Weeks 0-31
Semaglutide Plasma Concentrations for Population PK Analyses
This outcome measure is only applicable for the oral semaglutide 14 mg treatment arm. Semaglutide plasma concentrations were measured at weeks 4, 8, 14 and 26. Results are based on the data from the on-treatment observation period which was the time period when a participant was on treatment with trial product, including any period after initiation of rescue medication.
Measured: Weeks 0-26
SNAC Plasma Concentrations
This outcome measure is only applicable for the oral semaglutide 14 mg treatment arm. Sodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl) amino]caprylate (SNAC) plasma concentrations were measured after 25 and 40 minutes post-dose at weeks 4, 14 and 26. Results are based on the data from the on-treatment observation period which was the time period when a participant was on treatment with trial product, including any period after initiation of rescue medication.
Measured: Weeks 0-26
Change in Short Form Health Survey Version 2.0 (SF-36v2™, Acute Version) Health Survey: Scores From the 8 Domains and Summaries of the Physical Component Score (PCS) and the Mental Component Score (MCS)
SF-36 is a 36-item patient-reported survey of patient health that measures the participant's overall health-related quality of life (HRQoL). SF-36v2™ (acute version) questionnaire measured eight domains of functional health and well-being as well as two component summary scores (physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS)). The 0-100 scale scores (where higher scores indicated a better HRQoL) from the SF-36 were converted to norm-based scores to enable a direct interpretation in relation to the distribution of the scores in the 2009 U.S. general population. In the metric of norm-based scores, 50 and 10 corresponds to the mean and standard deviation respectively of the 2009 U.S. general population. Change from baseline (week 0) in the domain scores and component summary (PCS and MCS) scores were evaluated at week 26. A positive change score indicates an improvement since baseline. Results are based on the data from the in-trial observation period.
Measured: Week 0, week 26
Change in DTSQs: Individual Items and Treatment Satisfaction Score (6 of the 8 Items Summed)
Change from baseline (week 0) in Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire - status version (DTSQs) was evaluated at week 26. The DTSQs items are scored on a 7-point graded response scale ranging from 6 to 0. Higher scores indicate higher levels of treatment satisfaction for DTSQs items 1, 4 -8. For items 2 and 3 a higher score indicates a higher patient perceived experience of hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia, respectively. Thus, lower scores indicate a perception of blood glucose levels being "none of the time" unacceptably high (item 2) or low (item 3). The domain score of total treatment satisfaction (total treatment satisfaction score) was computed by adding the six items scores 1, 4-8. The score has a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 36. A higher treatment satisfaction score indicates a higher level of treatment satisfaction.
Measured: Week 0, week 26
Change in Urinalysis
Participants with urinalysis, "leukocytes and erythrocytes" findings, negative, trace, small, moderate or large at baseline (week [wk] 0) and wk 26 are presented. Participants with urinalysis, "nitrit" findings, negative or positive at baseline (wk 0) and wk 26 are presented. Results are based on the data from the on-treatment observation period which was the time period when a participant was on treatment with trial product, including any period after initiation of rescue medication.
Measured: Week -2, week 26

Primary outcome
Change in HbA1c
Time frame: Week 0, week 26
Change from baseline (week 0) in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) was evaluated at week 26. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from the in-trial observation period, which was the time period from when a participant was randomised until the final scheduled visit, including any period after initiation of rescue medication and/or premature discontinuation of trial product. The endpoint was also evaluated based on the data from the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period, which was the time period when a participant was on treatment with trial product, excluding any period after initiation of rescue medication and/or premature trial product discontinuation.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing semaglutide in people with Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 117 sites in 8 countries.
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 11 inclusion and 15 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 17 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 117 sites in United States, Russia, United Kingdom, Denmark, Finland and 3 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Feb 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Change in HbA1c (time frame: Week 0, week 26). 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 NCT02827708, which also lists 7 linked publications.
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 17 Feb 2020.
