The company anticipates completion of the final arm of the study, GLP-1-H24-2, in July. A three-arm, crossover investigation that compares three 7 mg semaglutide dose formulations, the study evaluates three doses: a positive control Rybelsus(R) swallowed tablet; DehydraTECH-semaglutide swallowed capsule; and for the first time ever, an in-mouth dissolvable DehydraTECH-semaglutide oral tablet. The study is designed to measure tolerability and side effects as well as semaglutide and blood glucose levels. Rybelsus (semaglutide) is the only GLP-1 drug approved by the FDA for oral dosingto treat diabetes and weight loss. “Blood samples will be taken multiple times during the first 10 hours post dosing,” the company stated in the press release. “A final blood draw will be taken 24 hours after dosing, and a standardized meal will be fed to the test subjects at a point in time after dosing. Nine healthy subjects are expected to be dosed with each test article with roughly a 30-day ‘washout’ interval between each dosing visit.
