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 45 years and older
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Postmenopausal female, age at least 45 years at the time of signing informed consent. With at least 12 consecutive months since the last spontaneous menstrual bleeding (if there was any uncertainty of the time of the last spontaneous bleeding, the postmenopausal status is to be confirmed with follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) 40 mIU/mL)
  • Body mass index (BMI) between 20.0 and 29.9 kg/m^2 (both inclusive)
  • Considered to be generally healthy based on the medical history, physical examination, and the results of vital signs, electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests performed during the screening visit, as judged by the investigator

Who cannot join

  • Smoker (defined as a subject who is smoking at least one cigarette or the equivalent per day). A subject smoking less than one cigarette or the equivalent per day must be able or willing to refrain from smoking and use of nicotine substitute products during the trial
  • Any blood draw in excess of 25 mL in the past 30 days, or donation of blood or plasma in excess of 400 mL within the 90 days preceding screening
  • Sitting blood pressure at screening (after resting for at least 5 minutes) outside the range of 90-139 mmHg for systolic or 50-89 mmHg for diastolic. If white-coat hypertension is suspected a single repeat measurement is allowed, last measurement being conclusive
  • History of major surgical procedures involving the stomach potentially affecting absorption of trial product (e.g. subtotal and total gastrectomy, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass surgery)

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the ethinylestradiol plasma concentration-time curve during a dosing interval (0-24 hours) at steady state

    Measured: On day 8 (OC alone), day 24 (OC with SNAC) and day 82 (OC with oral semaglutide at steady state)

  2. Area under the levonorgestrel plasma concentration-time curve during a dosing interval (0-24 hours) at steady state

    Measured: On day 8 (OC alone), day 24 (OC with SNAC) and day 82 (OC with oral semaglutide at steady state)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Maximum observed ethinylestradiol plasma concentration during a dosing interval (0-24 hours) at steady state

    Measured: On day 8 (OC alone), day 24 (OC with SNAC) and day 82 (OC with oral semaglutide at steady state)

  2. Maximum observed levonorgestrel plasma concentration during a dosing interval 0-24 hours) at steady state

    Measured: On day 8 (OC alone), day 24 (OC with SNAC) and day 82 (OC with oral semaglutide at steady state)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing semaglutide, SNAC and Microgynon® 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 3 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 7 Jun 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 ethinylestradiol plasma concentration-time curve during a dosing interval (0-24 hours) at steady state (time frame: On day 8 (OC alone), day 24 (OC with SNAC) and day 82 (OC with oral semaglutide at steady state)). 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 NCT02845219, 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 7 Jun 2017.
