What This Study Did, in Plain Language

What Was Tested

This registered phase 1 trial tested Semaglutide.

This clinical trial is conducted in Europe.

It had 1 arm (groups): One-sequence cross-over arm (experimental).

The registry classes the interventions as drug.

Who Took Part

Enrollment: 43 actual participants took part.

It was open to women only aged from 18 years with no upper age limit.

Healthy volunteers were not accepted; participants needed the condition being studied.

Examples of who could join: Informed consent obtained by a physician before any trial-related activities. BMI (Body Mass Index) between 18.5 - 35.0 kg/m\^2 (both inclusive).

The full record lists 5 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria; among the exclusions: known or suspected hypersensitivity to trial products or related products; previous participation in this trial. participation is defined as being dosed with either drug; treatment with antidiabetic drug other than metformin within the last 3 months.

How the Study Was Run

The set-up was non-randomized, crossover and open-label.

Each person switched between Semaglutide and the comparison at some point, usually with a gap in between.

Everyone knew when Semaglutide was being given (open label), which is simpler to run but leaves more room for expectations to affect what is reported.

It started in 2011-03 with completion listed for 2012-01.

It ran at 1 site in Germany.

Its stated primary purpose is treatment.

What Was Measured

Researchers chose this as the main measure: Area under the ethinylestradiol concentration-time curve. Area under the levonorgestrel concentration-time curve.

It also tracked 4 secondary outcomes, for example Maximum oral contraceptive concentration, Area under the semaglutide concentration-time curve, Maximum semaglutide concentration and Percentage of subjects experiencing adverse events.

What This Means in Plain Language

Put simply, this is a phase 1, non-randomized trial of Semaglutide in 43 people.

The trial is marked completed; no results are posted to the registry yet, so nothing here describes outcomes.
