What This Study Did, in Plain Language

What Was Tested

This registered phase 1 trial tested Semaglutide.

This trial is conducted in Europe and Asia.

It had 1 arm (groups): Semaglutide administrations (experimental).

The registry classes the interventions as drug.

Who Took Part

The registry lists 24 actual participants took part.

It was open to people of any sex aged from 18 years up to 55 years.

Healthy volunteers could join, not only people with the condition.

Examples of who could join: Male and female, age between 18 and 55 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent. Body mass index (BMI) between 23 and 30 kg/m\^2 (both inclusive).

The full record lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria; among the exclusions: smoking, drug or alcohol abuse.

How the Study Was Run

Design: crossover and open-label.

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

Nothing was hidden in this open-label Semaglutide study: the participants and staff both knew the treatment.

It started in 2013-12-17 with completion listed for 2014-08-28.

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 metformin plasma concentration-time curve. Area under the S-warfarin plasma concentration-time curve. Area under the R-warfarin plasma concentration-time curve.

It also tracked 4 secondary outcomes, for example Maximum observed metformin plasma concentration at steady state and Incremental area under the INR (international normalised ratio) -curve.

What This Means in Plain Language

Put simply, this is a phase 1 trial of Semaglutide in 24 people.

Its size is small, so on its own it can only give an early look.

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