Novo Nordisk has big plans for its diabetes franchise. Yesterday the company announced that it would begin Phase IIIa trials for oral semaglutide, a protein product that can be administered orally, rather than via injection. In the first trial of the program-which is slated to begin in 2016-doses of 3 mg, 7 mg, and 14 mg of the long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog will be compared with a 100-mg dose of sitagliptin, another oral diabetes medication. The other parts of the program will roll out during 2016 as well.
