Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to evaluate the optimal dosing conditions for semaglutide (a long acting GLP-1 analogue) in healthy male subjects.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- AUC 0-24h; Area under the semaglutide concentration curve from time 0-24 hours after the 10th dosing [0-24hrs after the 10th dosing]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Cmax; The maximum plasma semaglutide concentration [Post-dose at day 10]
- tmax; Time to maximum plasma semaglutide concentration [Post-dose at day 10]
- t1/2; the terminal half-life of semaglutide [Post-dose at day 10]
