Weekly combo shot shows promise for diabetes control
NCT ID NCT05813912
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed Phase 3 study tested whether adding semaglutide to a new once-weekly insulin (insulin icodec) improves blood sugar control in 148 adults with type 2 diabetes. Participants first received insulin icodec alone for 26 weeks; those with still-high blood sugar then added semaglutide for another 26 weeks. The main goal was to see how much HbA1c (a measure of blood sugar over time) changed after adding semaglutide.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a more effective once-weekly treatment option for people with type 2 diabetes who need better blood sugar control.
