Recruiting PHASE4 Hyperglycemia

New treatment option for Hyperglycemia

Official title Semaglutide Treatment for Hyperglycaemia After Renal Transplantation

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05702931

What this study is testing

What is Semaglutide 14 MG [Rybelsus]?

Semaglutide 14 MG [Rybelsus] is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for hyperglycemia.

Also referred to as Rybelsus.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
Background: Post-transplant hyperglycaemia occurs frequently in renal transplant recipients within the first two weeks after transplantation. Standard-of-care is primarily based on insulin treatment with the adherent risk of hypoglycaemia and weight gain.
  • Phase 4: studies an already-approved treatment
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
