The Effect of Oral Semaglutide on Bone Turnover in Patients With T2D: a Randomized Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial
Sponsor: Odense University Hospital
Summary
The hypothesis for this study is that oral Semaglutide, a GLP-1Ra, has a positive effect on the balance between build-up and degradation as well as the strength of the bones in men and women aged 50-85 years with type 2 diabetes and an increased risk of bone fractures. Treatment involves once daily oral GLP-1Ra semaglutide or matching placebo for 52 weeks. The effect will be measured by bone markers in blood samples, bone scans, bone tissue and bone marrow tests (bone marrow aspiration and biopsy), physical activity assessed by a questionnaire, and direct bone strength measured by microindentation at the start and end of the study.

Interventions
oral Semaglutide/Rybelsus
Weeks 1-4: 3 mg of oral semaglutide once daily. Weeks 5-52: 7 mg of semaglutide once daily as maintenance dose. Dose may be increased to 14 mg of semaglutide once daily as maintenance dose after 2 months if glucose levels are out of range.
Placebo
Weeks 1-4: 3 mg of oral placebo once daily. Weeks 5-52: 7 mg of placebo once daily as maintenance dose. Dose may be increased to 14 mg of placebo once daily as maintenance dose after 2 months if glucose levels are out of range.
