The clinical trials are comparing different, new formulations of oral semaglutide, code-named C and D, to the existing product. All patients provided written informed consent before any trial-related activity. Patients who prematurely discontinued trial product remained in the trial and could receive any other antidiabetic medications at the investigator’s discretion (excluding GLP-1RAs in the oral semaglutide arm before completion of the follow-up visit 5 weeks after the last date on trial product).

Selected secondary end points (treatment policy estimand and trial product estimand)a. Fasting plasma glucose was reduced with both treatments, with no significant difference between groups (Table 2 and Supplementary Fig.



Baseline characteristics were well balanced between treatment groups (Table 1). Once-weekly injectable semaglutide is the follow-on product to Victoza and was approved in December for the treatment of type 2 diabetes under the brand name Ozempic. The treatment policy estimand was estimated by a pattern-mixture model using multiple imputation to handle missing week 26 data for both confirmatory end points. 1 and Table 2). were involved in the concept and design of the study. Both the imputation and the analysis were based on ANCOVA models. 8). S.Ø.L. For the three doses of oral semaglutide, the change from baseline was -0.3% for the 3mg dose, -0.7% for the 7mg dose, and -1.1% for the 14mg dose, with -0.4% for Januvia 100mg. Key exclusion criteria (see Supplementary Table 1 for full list) were any medication for diabetes or obesity within the previous 90 days other than metformin or short-term (≤14 days) insulin, renal impairment with an estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, proliferative retinopathy or maculopathy requiring acute treatment verified by fundus photography or dilated fundoscopy, and history of pancreatitis.

Bodyweight change from baseline (88.8kg) was also recorded for the three doses as -1.7kg for the 3mg dose, -2.5kg for the 7mg dose, and -4.1kg for the 14mg dose, as well as -1.5kg for placebo.

Key end points were change from baseline to week 26 in HbA1c (primary) and body weight (confirmatory secondary). Thank you for your interest in spreading the word about Diabetes Care. In the current trial, diabetic retinopathy–related adverse events were more frequent with oral semaglutide compared with empagliflozin, although occurrence was low in both groups (3.4% vs. 1.2%).

The safety profile of oral semaglutide was consistent with previous trials (11–16). Acknowledgments.

In the PIONEER 2 trial, which investigated oral semaglutide versus Jardiance 25mg, the change from baseline HbA1c (8.1%) to week 52 was recorded for both study arms as -1.3% for 14mg oral semaglutide and -0.8% for Jardiance 25mg. Results from sensitivity analyses supported the results of the confirmatory analysis (Supplementary Fig. All analyses were performed using SAS 9.4M2 statistical software.

In the Phase 2 trial, 83% of people getting semaglutide lost at least 5% of their body weight, compared to only 23% of those on placebo and 66% taking Saxenda (liraglutide).
