About this study
Official title: A Multi-centre, Prospective, Non-interventional Single-arm Study Investigating Clinical Parameters Associated With the Use of Once-daily Oral Semaglutide in a Real-world Adult Population With Type 2 Diabetes in Israel
The purpose of the study is to collect information on how Rybelsus® works in people with type 2 diabetes and to see if Rybelsus® can lower their blood sugar levels. Participants will get Rybelsus® as prescribed to them by the study doctor. The study will last for about 8-10 months. Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about how they take their Rybelsus® tablets. Participants will complete this questionnaire during their normally scheduled visit with the study doctor.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Oral semaglutideDrug
Patients will be treated with commercially available oral semaglutide according to local label and to routine clinical practice at the discretion of the treating physician. The decision to initiate treatment with commercially available oral semaglutide has been made by the patient/Legally Acceptable Representative (LAR) and the treating physician based on local label before and independently from the decision to include the patient in this study.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Patients with type 2 diabetes | Adult patients with type 2 diabetes and naïve to injectable glucose-lowering treatment. Receives: Drug: Oral semaglutide |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in HbA1c (Glycated haemoglobin)
Measured as percent-points
Measured: From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
Secondary outcomes (7)
Relative change in body weight
Measured as Percent
Measured: From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
Absolute change in body weight
Measured in Kilogram (Kg)
Measured: From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
HbA1c below 7%
Percentage of participants achieving or not achieving the target value
Measured: End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
HbA1c reduction greater than or equal to 1%-points and body weight reduction of greater than or equal to 5%
Percentage of participants achieving or not achieving the reduction
Measured: From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
HbA1c reduction greater than or equal to 1%-points and body weight reduction of greater than or equal to 3%
Percentage of patients achieving or not achieving the reduction
Measured: From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
DTSQc (Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire, change), relative treatment satisfaction
The DTSQc provides a measure of how satisfied participants are with their current diabetes treatment compared with previous treatment. It consists of 8 questions, which are to be answered on a Likert scale from -3 to +3 (-3 = much less satisfied now to +3 = much more satisfied now), with 0 (midpoint), representing no change. Six questions are summed to produce a Total treatment satisfaction score. The remaining two questions concern perceived frequency of hyperglycemia and perceived frequency of hypoglycemia, respectively. The DTSQc Total treatment satisfaction score ranges from -18 to +18, with higher scores associated with greater treatment satisfaction.
Measured: End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)
DTSQs (Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire, status), change in absolute treatment satisfaction
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.
Measured: From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)

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?

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 6 Oct 2025.
