Effect of Various Dosing Conditions on the Pharmacokinetics of Oral Semaglutide, a Human Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Analogue in a Tablet Formulation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Oral semaglutide is a novel tablet formulation of the human glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue semaglutide. In two trials, the effects of prior food ingestion (food effect), post-dose fasting period and water volume with dosing (dosing conditions) on oral semaglutide pharmacokinetics were investigated.

Methods

Subjects received once-daily oral semaglutide for 10 days. In the food-effect trial, 78 healthy subjects were randomised 1:1:1 to fed (meal 30 min pre-dose; 240 mL water with dosing), fasting (overnight until 4 h post-dose; 240 mL) or reference (fasting overnight until 30 min post-dose; 120 mL) arms. In the dosing conditions trial, 161 healthy men were randomised into eight dosing groups (overnight fasted with 50/120 mL water and 15/30/60/120 min post-dose f
