Results about Novo’s semaglutide

Novo Nordisk’s semaglutide demonstrated superior improvements in glycaemic control vs sitagliptin (SUSTAIN 2) and exenatide ER (SUSTAIN 3) in two clinical trials in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Findings from two phase 3a clinical trials for semaglutide, an investigational glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue, were presented at the American Diabetes Association 76th Scientific Sessions. In the SUSTAIN 2 trial, 0.5 mg and 1.0 mg semaglutide administered once-weekly significantly improved glycaemic control compared to sitagliptin (100 mg), a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, in adults with type 2 diabetes. In the SUSTAIN 3 trial, 1.0 mg semaglutide administered once-weekly significantly improved glycaemic control compared to 2.0 mg exenatide extended-release (ER), a GLP-1 receptor agonist, in adults with type 2 diabetes.
