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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To compare the effect of once-daily dosing of oral semaglutide using a flexible dose adjustment based on clinical evaluation versus sitagliptin once daily, both in combination with 1-2 oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) on glycaemic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (2013), International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) Good Clinical Practice, including archiving of essential documents (2016) and 21 CFR 312.120.
    Background therapy
    Subjects were to continue their anti-diabetic medication (metformin, sulphonylurea, thiazolidinedione or sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors) throughout the trial.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The main phase of the trial was conducted at 77 sites in 10 countries, and the extension phase (Switch) at 71 sites in 9 countries, as follows (main phase/extension phase): Argentina (3/3), Austria (3/3), Belgium (7/7), Brazil (2/0), Egypt (4/4), Norway (4/4), South Korea (7/7), Switzerland (8/5), Turkey (8/8), and United States (31/30).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The trial consisted of two treatment periods: a 52-week main phase and a 52-week extension phase. In Switch, participants were allowed to re-randomise from sitagliptin to oral semaglutide. Sustainability included results for participants who received oral semaglutide during main + extension phase.

    Subjects were to receive oral semaglutide tablets once daily from week 0 to week 52 (main phase): 3 milligrams (mg) for the first 8 weeks, 3 or 7 mg for next 8 weeks followed by 3, 7 or 14 mg for the remaining treatment period.

    Subjects were to receive oral semaglutide 3, 7 or 14 mg. Oral semaglutide was to be administered once-daily in the morning in a fasting state and at least 30 minutes before the first meal of the day. The semaglutide tablet was to be taken with up to half a glass of water (approximately 120 mL/4 fluid oz) and was to be swallowed whole and not broken or chewed. The dose of oral semaglutide was adjusted every 8 weeks according to the dose adjustment criteria: HbA1c <7.0%, the current dose of oral semaglutide should be continued; HbA1c ≥7.0%, the dose of oral semaglutide should be escalated to the next dose level. In case the subject reports moderate to severe nausea or vomiting for 3 or more days in the week prior to the scheduled visit, the dose of oral semaglutide should be maintained or reduced, at the investigator’s discretion, irrespective of the level of HbA1c.

The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from the in-trial observation period, which was the time period from when a participant was randomised until the final scheduled visit, including any period after initiation of rescue medication and/or premature discontinuation of trial product. The endpoint was also evaluated based on the data from the on-treatment without rescue medication (OWRM) observation period, which was the time period when a participant was on treatment with trial product, excluding any period after initiation of rescue medication and/or premature trial product discontinuation. Results are based on the full analysis set (FAS) which included all randomised subjects. 'n' is the number of subjects analysed for the respective reporting group.

    The analysis was based on a pattern mixture model using multiple imputation to handle missing week 52 data, assuming that data were missing at random within the groups used for imputation. The imputed data sets were analysed using a logistic regression model with treatment, strata, and region as categorical fixed effects and baseline HbA1c value as covariate for each of the 1000 imputed complete datasets, and pooled by Rubin's rule to draw inference.

    Statistical analysis description
    The analysis was based on a Mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM) that assumed data to be missing at random. As dependent variables, the MMRM model included all post-baseline values collected at scheduled visits up to and including week 52. The independent effects were treatment, strata and region as categorical fixed effects and the baseline HbA1c value as a covariate, all nested within visit, and an unstructured residual covariance matrix.

    Notes
    [7] - This hypothesis was not controlled for multiplicity. Results are based on the data from the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period. The estimated treatment effect excludes the effect of any rescue medication and any effect after premature trial product discontinuation (hypothetical estimand).
    [8] - Unadjusted two-sided p-value for test of no difference from 0.

    Change from baseline (week 0) in HbA1c was evaluated at week 52. Results are based on the data from the in-trial observation period, which was the time period from when a participant was randomised until the final scheduled visit, including any period after initiation of rescue medication and/or premature discontinuation of trial product. Results are based on the full analysis set (FAS) which included all randomised subjects. Number of subjects analyzed is the number of subjects with available data.

Hypoglycaemic episodes with onset during the on-treatment observation period were considered treatment-emergent. On-treatment observation period was defined as the time period when a participant was on treatment with trial product, including any period after initiation of rescue medication. 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 (SAS) which included all randomised subjects who received at least one dose of trial product.
