E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The present study will evaluate the glucose-lowering effect (assessed by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)) of the native hormone GIP in the context of pharmacological GLP-1 receptor activation in patients with type 2 diabetes. We hypothesise that long-term GLP-1 receptor agonism during concomitant GIP receptor agonism will disclose new physiological insights into glucose homeostasis and body weight regulation that may be used therapeutically in the future. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The study will delineate the modulating metabolic effects beyond glycaemic effects (body composition, liver status, lipid profile, inflammatory markers, and vital signs) and, thus, provide important mechanistic insights into long-term dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonism in these patients. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Informed consent obtained before any trial-related activities. Trial-related activities are any procedures that are carried out as part of the trial, including activities to determine suitability for the trial 2. Men and women 18 to 74 years of age (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent 3. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes for at least six months. - Treated only with diet and exercise or stable metformin treatment for at least 3 months and be willing to continue the metformin dose during the trial - Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C) 58-91 mmol/mol for patients treated with diet and exercise - HbA1C 53-91 mmol/mol for patients treated with metformin 4. Body mass index (BMI) >27 to 50 kg/m2 5. Stable body weight (less than 3 kg self-reported change during the previous 90 days)
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Type 1 diabetes 2. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to trial product or related products. 3. Acute decompensation of glycaemic control requiring immediate intensification of treatment to prevent acute complications of diabetes (e.g. diabetes ketoacidosis) within 90 days prior to screening 4. Previous participation in this trial. Participation is defined as signed informed consent. 5. Participation in another clinical trial within 90 days before screening. 6. Woman who are pregnant, breast-feeding or intends to become pregnant or is of child-bearing potential and not using adequate contraceptive methods 7. Any laboratory safety parameter at screening outside the laboratory ranges 8. Any disorder which in the investigator’s opinion might jeopardise participant’s safety or compliance with the protocol. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Change in 14-day mean glucose levels (assessed by blinded continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)) during the last 14 days of the intervention period as compared to 14-day mean glucose levels during the last 14 days of the run-in period (from screening to first dose semaglutide). |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Please refer to answer in E.5.1 |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
- Glycaemic variability will be assessed by 14-day coefficient of variance (CV) of glucose levels (assessed by CGM) during the last 14 days of the intervention period as compared to 14-day CV of glucose levels during the last 14 days of the run-in period (from screening to first dose semaglutide). - Time in range (TIR): Percentage time spent in hypoglycaemia, near-normoglycemia and hyperglycaemia during the during the last 14 days of the intervention period as compared to 14-day CV of glucose levels during the last 14 days of the run-in period (from screening to first dose semaglutide) - Glycaemic control assessed by HbA1C: Changes from baseline (visit 2) to end of the study (visit 7) in mean HbA1C. - Liver composition: Changes from baseline (visit 2) to end of the study (visit 7) in liver composition including liver fat and liver “stiffness” (or fibrosis) will be assessed by FibroScan (ultrasound-based elastography). Liver fat will be assessed by the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) score in decibel per meter (dB/m) and liver stiffness measured by shear wave velocity in kilopascal (kPa). - Body composition: Changes from baseline (visit 2) to end of the study (visit 7) in body composition, total body fat percentage, total muscle mass percentage, and bone density (by T-score), will be assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). - Body weight: Changes from baseline (visit 2) to end of the study (visit 7) in body weight - Lipid profile (including cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL and triglycerides): Changes from baseline (visit 2) to end of the study (visit 7). - Blood pressure: Change from baseline (visit 2) to end of the study (visit 7) in mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure. - Heart rate: Change from baseline (visit 2) to end of the study (visit 7) in mean resting heart rate. - Brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity: Change from baseline (visit 2) to end of the study (visit 7) in mean BAT activity as measured by neck skin temperature - Waist circumference: Change from baseline (visit 2) to end of the study (visit 7) in mean waist circumference in centimetre (cm) |
