Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX, LEXXW), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, today announced that its second human pilot study, GLP-1-H24-2, is underway and the first dosing visit for all nine study participants has concluded. The three-arm, crossover study will compare three 7 mg semaglutide dose formulations: A positive control Rybelsus(R) swallowed tablet (already dosed); DehydraTECH-semaglutide swallowed capsules; and, for the first time ever, an in-mouth dissolvable DehydraTECH-semaglutide oral tablet. According to the announcement, the second DehydraTECH study arm will use a Rybelsus(R) composition processed with DehydraTECH that is compliant with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Inactive Ingredient Database (“FDA IID”), delivered within swallowed capsules. The dosing interval is currently anticipated to complete during mid-June, after the necessary wash-out period for the participants from the first study arm.
