    A Research Study to Look at How Semaglutide Affects Gastric Emptying in People With Obesity

    NCT03842202

    15 Feb 2019 to 4 Nov 2019

Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

This study will look at how the emptying of the participant's stomach after a meal is affected by semaglutide (a new medicine) compared to a "dummy" medicine. In addition, the study will also look at the effect of semaglutide on the participant's appetite and energy intake. Participants will either get semaglutide or "dummy" medicine - which treatment any participant gets is decided by chance. Participants will take 1 injection per week. The study medicine is injected with a thin needle in the stomach, thigh or upper arm. The study will last for about 27 weeks (from first treatment to last check-up). Participants will have 8 visits at the clinic with the study doctor.

Interventions

  • SemaglutideDrug
  • PlaceboDrug

Arms2

  • Experimental

    Semaglutide

    Participants will receive increasing doses of semaglutide. The treatment period from first treatment (Day 1) to end of the treatment (Day 141) will be 20 weeks.

  • Placebo comparator

    Placebo (Semaglutide)

    Participants will receive placebo (semaglutide). The treatment period from first treatment (Day 1) to end of the treatment (Day 141) will be 20 weeks

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

    Time frame · 0 to 5 hours after standardised meal (day 142)

    Registry description

  2. Cmax,para: the maximum observed paracetamol concentration from 0 to 5 hours

    Time frame · 0 to 5 hours after standardised meal (day 142)

    Registry description

    Measured in micrograms/mL

  3. Tmax,para: the time of maximum observed paracetamol concentration from 0 to 5 hours

    Time frame · Day 142

    Registry description

    Measured in mm, from 0-100. The ends of each line indicate the most extreme sensation respondents have experienced.

    Time frame · Day 142

    Registry description

    Measured in mm, from 0-100. The ends of each line indicate the most extreme sensation respondents have experienced.

  9. Mean postprandial rating - Overall appetite score (OAS) (AUC30-300min/270 min) using VAS from 30 up to 300 minutes during standardised breakfast meal

    Time frame · Day 142

    Registry description
