BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: IcoSema is being developed as a subcutaneous once-weekly fixed-ratio combination of the once-weekly basal insulin icodec and the once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist semaglutide. This study investigated the pharmacokinetics of icodec and semaglutide in IcoSema versus separate administration of each component in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
METHODS: In a randomised, double-blind, three-period crossover study, 31 individuals with T2DM (18-64 years, body weight 80-120 kg, glycosylated haemoglobin 6.0-8.5%) received single subcutaneous injections of IcoSema (175 U icodec, 0.5 mg semaglutide), icodec (175 U) or semaglutide (0.5 mg) with 6-9 weeks' washout. Pharmacokinetic blood samples were drawn up to 840 h post-dose.
RESULTS: Icodec pharmacokinetics were unaffected by combining icodec with semaglutide. The 90% confidence interval (CI) of IcoSema/icodec was within 0.80-1.25 for total exposure (area under the curve from zero to last quantifiable observation; AUC0-t: ratio [90% CI] 1.06 [1.01; 1.12]) and maximum concentration (Cmax): 1.12 [1.06; 1.18]. Semaglutide AUC0-t was also unaffected by combination with icodec (IcoSema/semaglutide 1.11 [1.05; 1.17]). However, semaglutide Cmax was higher for IcoSema versus semaglutide alone (IcoSema/semaglutide 1.99 [1.84; 2.15]) and occurred earlier for IcoSema (12 versus 84 h). Results of in vitro albumin binding studies and animal pharmacokinetic studies supported that the change in semaglutide absorption pharmacokinetics in IcoSema is owing to competition for albumin binding locally at the injection site with icodec outcompeting semaglutide. IcoSema, icodec and semaglutide were well-tolerated, although more gastrointestinal related adverse events occurred with IcoSema versus icodec or semaglutide alone.
CONCLUSION: The combination of icodec and semaglutide in IcoSema leads to a higher and earlier maximum semaglutide concentration, which will guide the dose recommendations for IcoSema.
