Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • BMI (Body Mass Index): 20-30 kg/m^2
  • Body weight: 60-110 kg
  • Normal ECG (electrocardiogram)

Exclusion criteria

  • Female who is pregnant, breast-feeding or intends to become pregnant or is of child-bearing potential and not using an adequate contraceptive method. Women of child-bearing potential must use an effective method of birth control for the duration of the trial and for 5 weeks following the last dose of semaglutide. Only highly effective methods of birth control are accepted (i.e. one that results in less than 1% per year failure rate when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine devices), or sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner
  • Any clinically significant disease history, in the opinion of the investigator, or systemic or organ
  • History of seizures, epilepsy, syncope, cardiac arrest, cardiac arrhythmia or Torsades de Pointes, A-V (Atrioventricular) block or structural heart disease
  • Family history of long QT (Interval in the ECG: from the start of the QRS complex to the end) syndrome (either objectively diagnosed or suggested by sudden death due to cardiac causes before the age of 50 of a 1st degree relative)
  • Family history of sudden cardiac death before the age of 50 of a 1st degree relative
  • Use of prescription or non-prescription systemic or topical medicinal products (except routine vitamins, acetylsalicylic acid, paracetamol and contraceptives) within 3 weeks (or within 5 halflives of the medicinal product, whichever is longest) prior to the first dosing of semaglutide
  • Smoking, drug or alcohol abuse

Treatment and study plan

semaglutide

Drug

Solution for subcutaneous (s.c., under the skin) injection. Dose escalation to 1.5 mg.

Placebo

Drug

Solution for s.c. injection or tablets for oral administration

moxifloxacin

Drug

Tablets for oral administration

Primary outcomes

  1. QTcI, (Individual heart rate corrected QT (Interval in the ECG: from the start of the QRS complex to the end) interval) based on ECG recordings obtained at 11 time points

    Time frame: 0-48 hours after the fourth dose of semaglutide/semaglutide placebo at the 1.5 mg dose level

Secondary outcomes

  1. QTcI, based on ECG (electrocardiogram) recordings obtained at 2 out of 8 time points

    Time frame: 0-24 hours after a single dose of moxifloxacin/moxifloxacin placebo
