In a recent clinical study update, Novo Nordisk has completed a 52-week study titled ‘A 52 Week Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Once Weekly IcoSema and Once Weekly Semaglutide, Both Treatment Arms With or Without Oral Anti Diabetic Drugs, in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes Inadequately Controlled With a GLP 1 Receptor Agonist. COMBINE 2’. The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new weekly medication, IcoSema, a combination of insulin icodec and semaglutide, in controlling blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes compared to the already available semaglutide.
The intervention involved two experimental groups: one receiving IcoSema and the other receiving semaglutide, both administered once weekly via subcutaneous injection. IcoSema is a novel treatment, while semaglutide is a well-established medication for managing type 2 diabetes.
The study design was interventional with a randomized allocation and a parallel intervention model. There was no masking involved, and the primary purpose was treatment. The study focused on measuring changes in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels over the study period.
The study began on April 11, 2022, and was completed with the last update submitted on July 8, 2025. These dates are crucial as they mark the progression and completion of the study, providing a timeline for investors and stakeholders.
The results of this study could significantly impact Novo Nordisk’s stock performance and investor sentiment, given the potential of IcoSema to offer a new treatment option for type 2 diabetes. This development could also influence the competitive landscape in the diabetes treatment market, where Novo Nordisk is a key player.
The study has been completed, and further details are available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
