Abstract

The present invention relates to improved uses of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) peptides in oral therapy.

Claims (34)

1. A method for treating type 2 diabetes and/or reducing body weight in a subject in need of such treatment, the method comprising:

orally administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a solid oral dosage form composition comprising a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) peptide and an enhancer,

wherein:

(a) the GLP-1 peptide is N-epsilon26-[2-(2-{2-[2-(2-{2- [(S)-4-Carboxy-4-(17-carboxyheptadecanoyl-amino) butyrylamino] ethoxy} ethoxy) acetylamino] ethoxy} ethoxy) acetyl] [Aib8,Arg34] GLP-1-(7-37) (semaglutide); and

(b) the enhancer is sodium N-(8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl) amino) caprylate (SNAC);

wherein semaglutide is the only GLP-1 peptide administered;

wherein the composition is administered daily for a period of 70 days; and

wherein the variability in plasma exposure of said GLP-1 peptide is reduced when compared to a single dose of the GLP-1 peptide.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the subject is in need of treatment for both type 2 diabetes and reducing body weight.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the composition comprises 200-400 mg of the SNAC.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the composition comprises 2-40 mg of the semaglutide.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the composition comprises 300 mg of the SNAC.

6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the composition comprises 5-50 mg of the semaglutide.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the composition comprises 300 mg of the SNAC.

8. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the composition is in the form of a tablet.

9. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the subject suffers from obesity.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the subject is in need of treatment for type 2 diabetes.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the composition comprises 200-400 mg of the SNAC.

12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the composition comprises 2-40 mg of the semaglutide.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the composition comprises 300 mg of the SNAC.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the composition is in the form of a tablet.

15. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the composition comprises 5-50 mg of the semaglutide.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the composition comprises 300 mg of the SNAC.

17. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the composition is in the form of a tablet.

18. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the patient is in need of treatment for reducing body weight.

19. The method according to claim 18 , wherein the composition comprises 200-400 mg of the SNAC.

20. The method according to claim 18 , wherein the composition comprises 2-40 mg of the semaglutide.

21. The method according to claim 20 , wherein the composition comprises 300 mg of the SNAC.

22. The method according to claim 21 , wherein the subject suffers from obesity.

23. The method according to claim 21 , wherein the composition is in the form of a tablet.

24. The method according to claim 18 , wherein the composition comprises 5-50 mg of the semaglutide.

25. The method according to claim 24 , wherein the composition comprises 300 mg of the SNAC.

26. The method according to claim 25 , wherein the subject suffers from obesity.

27. The method according to claim 25 , wherein the composition is in the form of a tablet.
