About this study

Official title: A Trial Investigating the Effect of Probenecid and Ciclosporin on the Pharmacokinetics of SNAC in Healthy Subjects

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of the medicines, probenecid and ciclosporin on the concentrations of SNAC. SNAC is an ingredient of the semaglutide tablets. Participants will get 3 different treatments (that is 3 treatment periods): 1) a single dose of 3 mg semaglutide, 2) a single dose of 600 mg ciclosporin with 3 mg semaglutide, 3) 500 mg probenecid twice a day for 3 ½ days with a single dose of 3 mg semaglutide on the last day.

The sequence of treatments participants get is decided by chance. Probenecid and ciclosporin are available medicines. They are given by doctors. Semaglutide contains SNAC. It cannot be prescribed yet.

The study will last for up to 125 days. Participants will have 17 to 18 visits at the study centre. This includes short visits at the centre for blood sampling only. Participants will have several blood draws.

What participants receive

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

  • SemaglutideDrug

    A single dose of 3 mg semaglutide tablet alone will be administered orally. Trial product administration will take place in the morning after overnight fasting for at least 6 hours.

  • ProbenecidDrug

    A dose of 500 mg probenecid (2 tablets of 250 mg) will be administered orally twice daily for 3½ days (7 trial product administrations in total). On the 4th day, the last probenecid administration will take place 2 hours prior to administration of a single dose of 3 mg oral semaglutide tablet. The last trial product administrations will take place in the morning after overnight fasting for at least 6 hours.

  • CiclosporinDrug

    A single dose of 600 mg ciclosporin (6 capsules of 100 mg) will be administered orally 1 hour prior to administration of a single dose of 3 mg oral semaglutide tablet. Trial product administration will take place in the morning after overnight fasting for at least 6 hours.

Model description
This is a 3-period cross-over study. The participants will be randomised to three treatment sequences each consisting of three treatment periods. One treatment period with a single dose of 3 mg oral semaglutide alone, one treatment period with a single dose of 600 mg ciclosporin 1 hour prior to administration of a single dose of 3 mg oral semaglutide and one treatment period with 500 mg probenecid administered twice daily for 3½ days with the last dose 2 hours prior to administration of a single dose of 3 mg oral semaglutide. Pharmacokinetics of sodium N-(8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl) amino) caprylate (SNAC) and SNAC metabolites will be assessed after each single dose of 3 mg oral semaglutide.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Semaglutide, Probenecid and Ciclosporin 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 4 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 19 Jun 2019. 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?

AUC0-tz,SNAC,SD, area under the SNAC plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of the last quantifiable concentration after a single dose of oral semaglutide (time frame: 0-48 hours). 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 19 Jun 2019.
