Study Summary

This trial tests different versions of an investigational medicine, semaglutide, in up to 260 participants to measure the amount of semaglutide in the blood. Participants take tablets daily for 18 weeks and are randomized to 1 of 4 groups. No food/water 2 hrs before dose & no other meds 14 days prior. Women can't be pregnant/breastfeeding.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adults with a BMI between 23.0 and 34.9 who are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy. They must not have gastrointestinal disorders affecting drug absorption or any condition that could risk their safety or study compliance.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two tablet versions of Semaglutide (J & C), each containing different amounts of SNAC as a helping agent. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups to test various doses over a period of 21 weeks.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects aren't listed, but participants undergo a dose escalation period to minimize potential risks. Common side effects for drugs like semaglutide may include digestive issues, headache, and possible allergic reactions.

Group I: Sequence D: Semaglutide J-Semaglutide C-Semaglutide JExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
After 6 weeks of run-in dose escalation period participants will orally receive semaglutide J at dose level 2 once daily for 4 weeks followed by semaglutide C (2x dose) once daily for next 4 weeks and thereafter semaglutide J at dose level 4 once daily for next 4 weeks.
Group II: Sequence C: Semglutide J-Semaglutide J-Semaglutide CExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
After 6 weeks of run-in dose escalation period participants will orally receive semaglutide J at dose level 1 once daily for 4 weeks followed by semaglutide J at dose level 3 once daily for next 4 weeks and thereafter semaglutide C (2x dose) once daily for next 4 weeks.
Group III: Sequence B: Semaglutide C-Semaglutide J-Semaglutide JExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
After 6 weeks of run-in dose escalation period participants will orally receive semaglutide C once daily for 4 weeks followed by semaglutide J at dose level 2 once daily for next 4 weeks and thereafter semaglutide J at dose level 4 once daily for next 4 weeks.
Group IV: Sequence A: Semaglutide J-Semaglutide C-Semaglutide JExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is the age restriction for participation in this experiment above or below 55 years of age?

"The current study stipulates that participants are between 18 and 64 years old. However, there are 54 trials for younger patients and 370 dedicated to seniors."

Answered by AI

What criteria must a person satisfy in order to be accepted into this research?

"To be eligible for this experiment, potential participants must have no underlying health conditions and lie between 18 - 64 years old. In total, there are 260 slots to fill in the trial."

Answered by AI

Is the enrollment period for this trial open at present?

"Clinicaltrials.gov states that this particular medical study is no longer enrolling participants, having opened and closed on March 15th and 13th of 2023 respectively. However, there are still 827 other trials actively seeking volunteers at the moment."

Answered by AI

Has the FDA sanctioned Sequence A: Semaglutide J-Semaglutide C-Semaglutide J?

"Due to it being a Phase 1 trial, with limited data on efficacy and safety, our group at Power rated Sequence A: Semaglutide J-Semaglutide C-Semaglutide J as having a low level of safety (1 out of 3)."
