Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety Study of Weekly Semaglutide in Chilean Participants With Type 2 Diabetes (NCT NCT05533632)

NCT ID: NCT05533632

Last Updated: 2025-09-24

Results Overview

Number of adverse events from baseline (Day 1) to week 24 is presented. An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant that is temporally associated with the use of investigational medicinal product (IMP), whether or not considered related to the IMP. The outcome measure was evaluated based on the data from on-treatment observation period which was defined as sub-set of the 'in-trial' observation period and represents the time period where participants are considered exposed to study product. The observation period ends at the first date of any of the following: follow-up visit, premature discontinuation follow-up visit, last date on study product + 42 days for safety and +7 days for efficacy, end-date for the 'in-trial' observation period.
