Research Study Comparing Different Tablets With the Study Medicine Semaglutide in Healthy Men
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study looks at different tablets with a new study medicine called semaglutide. It is to treat diabetes. The aim of the study is to find out how much study medicine from 4 different tablets is taken up in the body. Participants will either get semaglutide in the tablet currently being studied in large studies, or 1 of the 3 new tablets that also contains 'semaglutide' - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The tablet version of study medicine is a new medicine that cannot be prescribed. Semaglutide can be prescribed as injections for the treatment of diabetes in some countries. Participants will get 1 tablet per day for 10 days. The tablets should be taken in the morning by mouth together with half a glass of water. After dosing participants have to wait 30 minutes before participants may eat or drink. The study will last up to 70 days. Participants will have 17 clinic visits with the study doctor. Some of the visits are overnight stays. Participants will have blood tests at every visit.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- AUC0-24h,sema,day10, area under the semaglutide plasma concentration time curve from 0 to 24 hours after the 10th dosing [0 to 24 hours on day 10]
Calculated based on semaglutide measured in blood.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Cmax,sema,day10, maximum observed semaglutide plasma concentration from 0 to 24 hours after the 10th dosing [0 to 24 hours on day 10]
Calculated based on semaglutide measured in blood.
- tmax,sema,day10, time to maximum observed semaglutide plasma concentration from 0 to 24 hours after the 10th dosing [0 to 24 hours on day 10]
Calculated based on semaglutide measured in blood.
- AUC0-30min,sema,day10, area under the semaglutide plasma concentration time curve from 0 to 30 minutes after the 10th dosing [0 to 30 minutes on day 10]
Calculated based on semaglutide measured in blood.
- t½,sema,day10, terminal half-life of semaglutide up to 35 days after the 10th dosing [Days 10-45]
Calculated based on semaglutide measured in blood. Measured from the 10th. dosing (on Day 10) and up to 35 days after the 10th. dosing (i.e. Day 45).
- Number of treatment emergent adverse events [Days 1-47]
Count of events.
