Treatment and study plan

semaglutide

Drug

Subjects will be dosed in the morning, for 10 days, after an overnight fast (liquid will not be allowed from 2 hours before dosing). Dose to be taken with 50 ml of water. During the post-dose fasting period of 120 mins, no food or liquid is allowed.

Primary outcomes

  1. AUC 0-24h; Area under the semaglutide concentration curve from time 0-24 hours after the 10th dosing

    Time frame: 0-24hrs after the 10th dosing

Secondary outcomes

  1. Cmax; The maximum plasma semaglutide concentration

    Time frame: Post-dose at day 10

  2. tmax; Time to maximum plasma semaglutide concentration

    Time frame: Post-dose at day 10

  3. t1/2; the terminal half-life of semaglutide

    Time frame: Post-dose at day 10
