Lexaria seeks ethics approval for five-week oral semaglutide study versus Wegovy tablets

• Lexaria entered submissions seeking ethics clearance for Human Pilot Study #7, a five-week trial comparing two oral DehydraTECH-semaglutide formulations with Novo Nordisk’s oral Wegovy tablets.
• Results have not been presented; dosing is targeted to start in mid-June once quality-control testing and packaging are completed, with pre-dosing tasks expected to wrap by early June.
• Trial aims to assess safety, tolerability, and drug exposure over multiple weeks, focusing on whether DehydraTECH formulations can match or outperform commercial oral semaglutide while maintaining favorable tolerability.
• Study introduces a DehydraTECH semaglutide tablet format for first time, alongside a capsule, both using SNAC to support absorption in a longer-duration dosing regimen.
• Readout is positioned as a potential catalyst for commercial partnering interest tied to Lexaria’s oral drug delivery platform.
