Study summary

In this study, a known investigational medicine called 'semaglutide' will be tested in 2 drug concentrations of 0.68 milligram per milliliter (mg/mL) and 1.34 mg/mL. Both drug concentrations are tested for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has approved semaglutide in prefilled pen-injector form. Currently, the drug concentration of 1.34 mg/ml can be prescribed in some countries including U.S. The objective of the study is to compare the amount of investigational drug taken up in the body for the 2 drug concentrations. Participants will be divided by chance into 2 groups. Group A will receive a single dose of 0.5 mg semaglutide of the drug concentration 1.34 mg/mL in the first study period; and will receive a single dose of 0.5 mg semaglutide of the drug concentration 0.68 mg/mL in the second study period. Participants assigned to group B will receive the two drug concentrations in the reverse order. Participants will get 1 subcutaneous injection on Day 1 of each of the two study periods. The two injections are separated by 7-11 weeks. The study will last up to approximately 87 to 141 days for each participant. This includes a screening period (up to 4 weeks), study period 1 (5 weeks), washout period (2-6 weeks), and study period 2 (5 weeks). At some periods during the study, participant should not get vaccinations. Participant should agree on timing of vaccination with study doctor. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to get pregnant during the study period.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. AUC0-last,sema 0.5mg: Area under the semaglutide concentration time curve from time 0 until last quantifiable measurement after single dose of subcutaneous semaglutide 0.5 mg

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2023 to primary completion in May 2023, 4 months.

Of 393 industry-sponsored phase 1 interventional studies under Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, half reached primary completion within 6 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 12. This study's 4 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 458 studies reached it within 7 months; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 14.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 15, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
