A Research Study Looking at How Oral Semaglutide Works in People With Type 2 Diabetes in Israel, as Part of Local Clinical Practice

Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05443568
Lead Sponsor
Novo Nordisk A/S
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to collect information on how Rybelsus® works in people with type 2 diabetes and to see if Rybelsus® can lower their blood sugar levels. Participants will get Rybelsus® as prescribed to them by the study doctor. The study will last for about 8-10 months. Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about how they take their Rybelsus® tablets. Participants will complete this questionnaire during their normally scheduled visit with the study doctor.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in HbA1c (Glycated haemoglobin)From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)

Measured as percent-points

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Relative change in body weightFrom baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)

Measured as Percent

Absolute change in body weightFrom baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)

Measured in Kilogram (Kg)

HbA1c reduction greater than or equal to 1%-points and body weight reduction of greater than or equal to 5%From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)

Percentage of participants achieving or not achieving the reduction

DTSQs (Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire, status), change in absolute treatment satisfactionFrom baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)

The DTSQs items are scored on a 7-point graded response scale ranging from 6 to 0. Higher scores indicate higher levels of treatment satisfaction for DTSQs items.

HbA1c below 7%End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)

Percentage of participants achieving or not achieving the target value

HbA1c reduction greater than or equal to 1%-points and body weight reduction of greater than or equal to 3%From baseline (week 0) to End of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)

Percentage of patients achieving or not achieving the reduction

DTSQc (Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire, change), relative treatment satisfactionEnd of Study visit (V3) (week 34-44)

The DTSQc provides a measure of how satisfied participants are with their current diabetes treatment compared with previous treatment. It consists of 8 questions, which are to be answered on a Likert scale from -3 to +3 (-3 = much less satisfied now to +3 = much more satisfied now), with 0 (midpoint), representing no change. Six questions are summed to produce a Total treatment satisfaction score. The remaining two questions concern perceived frequency of hyperglycemia and perceived frequency of hypoglycemia, respectively. The DTSQc Total treatment satisfaction score ranges from -18 to +18, with higher scores associated with greater treatment satisfaction.
