Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To compare the effect of once-daily dosing of three dose levels (3 mg, 7 mg and 14 mg) of oral semaglutide versus sitagliptin 100 mg once-daily, both in combination with metformin with or without sulfonylurea (SU), on glycaemic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (2013), ICH Good Clinical Practice, including archiving of essential documents (1996), and 21 CFR 312.120.
    Background therapy
    Subjects were to continue their pre-trial metformin (≥1500 mg or maximum tolerated dose) alone or in combination with sulphonylurea (SU) (≥half of the maximum approved dose according to local label or maximum tolerated dose) throughout the trial.

    Blinding implementation details
    The trial was double-blinded and the clinical study group and the investigator remained blinded throughout the trial. The blinding was to be maintained until the database had been released for statistical analysis after database lock. For both semaglutide and sitagliptin, respectively, the active trial product and the corresponding placebo tablets were visually identical.

    End point description
    Change from baseline (week 0) in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) was evaluated at week 26. Results are based on the in-trial observation period, which was the time period from when a subject was randomised until the final scheduled visit, including any period after initiation of rescue medication and/or premature discontinuation of trial product. Population analysed: The full analysis set (FAS), which comprised all randomised subjects. Number of subjects analysed = number of subjects with available data.

    Oral semaglutide 14 mg versus sitagliptin 100 mg
    Statistical analysis description
    The analysis was based on a pattern mixture model that used multiple imputation to impute missing week-26 data, assuming that such data were missing at random. The imputed data sets were analysed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with trial product, region and stratification factor as fixed effects and the baseline HbA1c value as the covariate.

    [9] - This hypothesis was controlled for multiplicity, but could not be confirmed. The estimated treatment effect includes the effect of any rescue medication and any effect after premature trial product discontinuation (treatment policy estimand). A value of 0.3% (the non-inferiority margin) was added to imputed values at week 26 for the oral semaglutide treatment arm only.
    [10] - Unadjusted two-sided p-value for test of no difference from the non-inferiority margin (non-inferiority).

    Oral semaglutide 3 mg versus sitagliptin 100 mg
    Statistical analysis description
    The analysis was based on a pattern mixture model that used multiple imputation to impute missing week-26 data, assuming that such data were missing at random. The imputed data sets were analysed using an ANCOVA model with trial product, region and stratification factor as fixed effects and the baseline HbA1c value as the covariate.

    Change in HbA1c (on treatment without rescue medication observation period): Week 26
    End point description
    Change from baseline (week 0) in HbA1c was evaluated at week 26. Results are based on the on treatment without rescue medication observation period, which was the time period when a subject was on treatment with trial product, excluding any period after initiation of rescue medication and/or premature trial product discontinuation. Population analysed: The FAS. Number of subjects analysed = number of subjects with available data.

As dependent variables, the MMRM model included all post-baseline values collected at scheduled visits up to and including week 26. The independent effects were trial product, region and stratification factor as categorical fixed effects and the baseline HbA1c value as a covariate, all nested within visit.

    Number of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) during exposure to trial product
    End point description
    TEAEs were recorded during the exposure to trial products. Adverse events (AEs) with onset during the on-treatment observation period were considered treatment-emergent. On-treatment observation period: Time period when a subject was on treatment with trial product, including any period after initiation of rescue medication. Results are based on the safety analysis set, which included all randomised subjects who received at least one dose of trial product.

    Number of treatment emergent severe or blood glucose (BG) confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemic episodes during exposure to trial product
    End point description
    Treatment emergent severe or BG confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemic episodes were recorded during exposure to trial products. Hypoglycaemic episodes with onset during the on-treatment observation period were considered treatment-emergent. Severe hypoglycaemia was defined as an episode requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate or glucagon, or take other corrective actions. BG-confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemia: Confirmed by a glucose value <3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL) with symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia. Results are based on the safety analysis set.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    04 Dec 2015
    The cut off level for repeat testing of increased levels of aminotransferases was updated from alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >10x upper limit of normal (ULN) to >5x ULN. The rationale was to prompt follow-up of potential clinically significant aminotransferase levels. In addition several sections were updated to add clarity, i.e. stratification, drug accountability, electrocardiogram (ECG) reporting, antibodies and safety reporting.
    23 Dec 2016
    Eye examinations and additional data collection for diabetic retinopathy were introduced along with additional minor clarifications.
