Danish diabetes care giant Novo Nordisk (NOV: N) has released positive top-line data from its Phase III PIONEER 1 trial of oral semaglutide for treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes.
Oral semaglutide is a new GLP-1 analogue taken once daily as a tablet. The company won US FDA approval in late 2017 for injectable semaglutide, marketed in the country as Ozempic.
In the PIONEER 1 trial, the primary endpoint was met, demonstrating significant and superior improvements in HbA1c (long-term blood sugar) for all three doses of oral semaglutide compared to placebo.
