Real-World study tests oral diabetes drug in thai patients
NCT ID NCT06507475
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at how well oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) works for Thai adults with type 2 diabetes in everyday medical practice. Researchers reviewed medical records of 209 patients over 6 months to measure changes in blood sugar (HbA1c) and body weight. The goal was to see if the drug is effective outside of controlled clinical trials.

- Active substance
- oral semaglutide (Rybelsus)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that oral semaglutide works well in real-world Thai patients, supporting its use for blood sugar and weight control in type 2 diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by patient selection or other factors. It is also limited to a specific population and short duration.
