  • Research summary

    NN9535-4191 is a 26-week multicentre, randomised, double-blind , dose–finding study comparing semaglutide administered subcutaneously once daily to placebo and liraglutide in patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes treated with diet and exercise with or without metformin.

    The study duration is approximately 35 weeks, consisting of a 2 week screening period, a 26 week treatment period and a 7 week follow-up period. If eligible, participants will be randomised to either the blinded treatment group (12 out of 13 chance) or to the open label semaglutide group (1 out of 13 chance). If randomised to the blinded treatment group the treatment allocation is made in a 2:2:1 manner to either semaglutide, liraglutide or placebo. The blinded treatment groups will escalate their dose every 4 weeks until their final randomised dose level is reached. The open label treatment group will have a more flexible dose escalation based on tolerability.

    The study consists of a maximum of 13 clinic visits and 3-4 telephone contact visits.

    The study plan is to include a total of 704 randomised participants across 10 countries including the UK. In the UK the planned number of participants is 75 across 13 sites.
