Trial Part 1: Trial Part 1 was a placebo- and active-controlled, single ascending dose, sequential group trial. A total of six dose groups was completed. Each dose group consisted of ten subjects, of which six subjects were randomised to receive NNC 0148-0000-0106 Trial ID: NN1952-3646 Clinical Trial Report Report Synopsis C Date: Version: Status: Page: 2411March 2011 April 2012 1.0 2.0 Final Page 2 of 7 Novo Nordisk 300, 900, 1800, 3600, 7200 or 14400 nmol oral insulin 106, two subjects were randomised to receive oral placebo, and two subjects were randomised to receive 162 nmol sc insulin aspart. The dosing of oral insulin 106 and oral placebo was performed double-blind. The subjects were dosed in the fasting state, using a 12-hour euglycaemic clamp, and each subject received one single dose only. After completion of each dose group, an evaluation of blinded safety data, pharmacokinetic data, pharmacodynamic data and PK/PD modelling results was performed to allow progression to the next dose level. The trial activities for each dose group consisted of a pre-screening visit (Visit 0) to obtain the informed consent (at least 1 day prior to Visit 1), a screening visit (Visit 1) to determine the eligibility of the subjects for trial participation, a dosing visit (Visit 2) at which the subjects resided in-house at the clinical site, and a follow-up visit (Visit 3). The dosing visit (Visit 2) comprised a check-in day (Day 0), followed by a dosing day (Day 1) and a safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic assessment period up to 48 hours post-dose (until Day 3). The dosing visit (Visit 2) was performed within 3-28 days after screening (Visit 1). Subjects returned for a follow-up visit (Visit 3) at 3–14 days after their discharge from the clinic on Day 3 of Visit 2. Trial Part 2: Trial Part 2 was initiated following completion of Trial Part 1. Trial Part 2 was a single dose, randomised, open-label, four-period crossover trial in a group of 12 subjects with type 1 diabetes and 12 subjects with type 2 diabetes, investigating one selected dose level of oral insulin 106. Each subject was randomly allocated to a treatment sequence by which the subject during the four separate in-house dosing visits received each of the following treatments: A single dose of 14400 nmol oral insulin 106 administered in the fasting state (using a 12-hour euglycaemic glucose clamp), A single sc dose of 162 nmol sc insulin aspart administered in the fasting state (using a 12-hour euglycaemic glucose clamp), A single dose of 14400 nmol oral insulin 106 administered 15 minutes prior to a standardised meal A single dose of oral placebo administered 15 minutes prior to a standardised meal. In this exploratory crossover part, the trial activities for the group of 24 subjects with type 1 and type 2 diabetes consisted of a pre-screening visit (Visit 0) to obtain the informed consent (at least 1 day prior to Visit 1), a screening visit (Visit 1) to determine the eligibility of the subjects for trial participation, four in-house dosing visits (Visits 2, 3, 4 and 5) separated by a 1-week wash-out period between each dosing visit, and a follow-up visit (Visit 6). The inhouse dosing visits (Visits 2, 3, 4 and 5) comprised a check-in day (Day 0), followed by a dosing day (Day 1) and a safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic assessment period up to 24 hours post-dose (until Day 2). The first dosing visit (Visit 2) was performed within 3-28 days after screening (Visit 1).

The safety endpoints (see safety criteria above) were summarised using listings, tables and graphical presentations of the safety population. Pharmacokinetic Evaluation The following pharmacokinetic endpoints were derived from the insulin 106 (I106) concentration-time curves and the insulin aspart (IAsp) concentration-time curves measured during the first 24 hours after dosing in Trial Part 1 and Trial Part 2: AUCIns,0-2h,SD area under the serum insulin concentration-time curve from 0 to 2 hours after a single dose AUCIns,0-6h,SD area under the serum insulin concentration-time curve from 0 to 6 hours after a single dose AUCIns,0-12h,SD area under the serum insulin concentration-time curve from 0 to 12 hours after a single dose AUCIns,0-24h,SD, area under the serum insulin concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 hours after a single dose AUCIns,0-∞,SD area under the serum insulin concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity after a single dose Cmax,Ins,SD maximum observed serum insulin concentration after a single dose NNC 0148-0000-0106 Trial ID: NN1952-3646 Clinical Trial Report Report Synopsis C Date: Version: Status: Page: 2411March 2011 April 2012 1.0 2.0 Final Page 4 of 7 Novo Nordisk tmax,Ins,SD time to maximum observed serum insulin concentration after a single dose t1/2,Ins,SD terminal half-life MRTIns,SD mean residence time CL/FIns,SD apparent serum clearance of insulin after administration Vz/FIns,SD apparent volume of distribution of insulin after oral or subcutaneous administration, estimated during the terminal phase Trial Part 1 The dose-exposure relationship was evaluated in an ANOVA approach using the secondary pharmacokinetic endpoints (AUCIns,0-6h,SD, AUCIns,0-12h,SD and Cmax,Ins,SD log transformed) as the dependent variable and insulin dose as fixed effect (placebo not used, IAsp set to its own level). The residual variance was depending on the insulin preparation (I106/IAsp). The point-estimates for every dose were plotted together with the 95% confidence interval (CI) against the dose. The assumption of dose-proportionality was explored by scatter plots of the PK endpoints against dose. Dose-proportionality of AUC Ins,0-12h,SD and C max,Ins,SD was evaluated using linear regression of the logtransformed endpoint on log(dose) and the hypothesis of dose-linearity was tested (hypothesis of the slope of the regression line being equal to 1). As the subjects in each dose group had all received the same dose of I106 (nmol) the evaluation of dose-proportionality was also evaluated with use of the actual dose (nmol/kg body weight). Trial Part 2: The secondary pharmacokinetic endpoints (AUCIns,0-6h,SD, AUCIns,0-12h,SD and Cmax,Ins,SD) were evaluated separately for subjects with type 1 diabetes and for subjects with type 2 diabetes in an ANOVA approach with the endpoints (logtransformed) as dependent variable, with treatment (I106 fasting/IAsp fasting/I106 15 min pre-meal) and possibly period as fixed effects, subject as a random effect, and residual variance depending on the treatment. Based on this model point-estimates with 95% CI were calculated for all the treatments. To assess the food effect, the I106 fasting – I106 fed contrast was also estimated with 95% CI. Based on the above mentioned model, a test for no difference in variability in the mean AUC’s between the two insulin preparations in fasting state was performed by calculating the ratio of the residual variance estimates and evaluating whether this ratio was significantly greater than 1 in an F-distribution with the appropriate degrees of freedom. The rest of the pharmacokinetic endpoints were described by means of summary statistics. Pharmacodynamic Evaluation The following pharmacodynamic endpoints were derived from the glucose infusion rate-time curves measured during the euglycaemic glucose clamp running for 12 hours after dosing in Trial Part 1 and Trial Part 2: AUCGIR,0-2h,SD area under the glucose infusion rate-time curve from 0 to 2 hours after a single dose AUCGIR,0-6h,SD, area under the glucose infusion rate-time curve from 0 to 6 hours after a single dose AUCGIR,0-12h,SD area under the glucose infusion rate-time curve from 0 to 12 hours after a single dose GIRmax,SD maximum glucose infusion rate after a single dose tGIRmax,SD time to maximum glucose infusion rate after a single dose The following pharmacodynamic endpoints were derived from the blood glucose concentration-time curves measured during the meal test for 12 hours after dosing in Trial Part 2: AUCBG,0-2h,SD, area under the blood glucose concentration-time curve from 0 to 2 hours after a single dose AUCBG,0-6h,SD, area under the blood glucose concentration-time curve from 0 to 6 hours after a single dose AUCBG,0-12h,SD, area under the blood glucose concentration-time curve from 0 to 12 hours after a single dose Cmax,BG,SD, maximum blood glucose concentration after a single dose Tmax,BG,SD, time for maximum blood glucose concentration after a single dose The secondary pharmacodynamic endpoints (AUCGIR,0-6h,SD, AUCGIR,0-12h,SD and GIRmax) were analysed with the same model and estimates as the secondary pharmacokinetic endpoints, except that: NNC 0148-0000-0106 Trial ID: NN1952-3646 Clinical Trial Report Report Synopsis C Date: Version: Status: Page: 2411March 2011 April 2012 1.0 2.0 Final Page 5 of 7 Novo Nordisk Only fasting data would be used, as no GIR data for the pre-meal treatment groups exist Placebo would be set to its own level (Dose=0) Before the model was fitted, it was checked that the effect was independent of placebo dose level, by plotting the average of the two placebo-AUC’s for each dose level versus dose level. Dose-linearity of AUCGIR,0-12,SD was evaluated visually by plot of the point-estimates of the model for every dose together with the 95% confidence interval (CI) against the dose. The dose-linearity of GIRmax,SD was evaluated in the same way as the AUCGIR,0-12,SD. The secondary endpoints AUCBG,0-2h,SD, AUCBG,0-6h,SD and Cmax,BG,SD were also analysed with the same model as above. However, only the pre-meal data (data from the treatment groups: I106 pre-meal and placebo pre-meal) obtained during the meal test period was used. In this model the I106 pre-meal – placebo pre-meal contrast was the one of interest. The relative bio-efficacy of I106 against IAsp was estimated from the model as: AUCGIR ,012,SD (I106 fasting) / Dose(I106 fasting) AUCGIR , 012,SD (IASP fasting) / Dose(IASP fasting) The remaining endpoints were described by means of descriptive statistics. Demography of Trial Population Trial Part 1: The trial population in Trial Part 1 consisted of 60 healthy male subjects with a mean age of 37.6 years ranging from 20 to 53 years, mean body weight was 82.5 kg ranging from 56.9 to 100.1 kg and mean body mass index was 25.1 kg/m2 ranging from 19.4 to 28.0 kg/m2. The majority of the subjects were white (96.7%). No noteworthy differences were observed in age and weight of subjects among the three treatment groups (I106, IAsp and placebo). Trial Part 2: The trial population in Trial Part 2 consisted of 12 subjects with type 1 diabetes (3 females, 9 males) and 12 subjects with type 2 diabetes (2 females, 10 males). All subjects were white. Mean age for subjects with type 1 diabetes was 43.3 years (range 2364 years) and mean age for subjects with type 2 diabetes was 51.4 years (range 4461 years). Subjects with type 2 diabetes had a higher mean body mass index (mean 28.8 [range: 22.5 34.3]) than subjects with type 1 diabetes (mean 24.4 [range: 20.6 27.8]). Efficacy Results Trial Part 1 The pharmacokinetic (PK) results demonstrated a rapid absorption of oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastroresistant tablet) with the time to maximum serum concentration (tmax) ranging from 0.751.88 hours post dose over the tested dose range (300 to 14400 nmol) in fasting state. In comparison, tmax for sc insulin aspart was 1.75 hours. Oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) had a short terminal serum half life (t1/2) with harmonic mean t1/2 values increasing from 0.64 to 2.17 hours over the tested dose range (330 to 14400 nmol) in fasting state. Insulin aspart showed harmonic mean t1/2 of 0.92 hours. The systemic exposure of oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) appeared to increase proportionally with dose, as measured by the maximum concentration (Cmax) and the area under the serum concentration curve (AUC(0-6h), AUC(0-12h)). Across all dose levels of oral insulin 106, mean Cmax ranged from 152 to 7780 pM and mean AUC(0-12h) ranged from 141 to 19955 hpM. For sc insulin aspart, mean Cmax was 712 pM and mean AUC(0-12h) was 2079 hpM. The inter-individual variability in the PK endpoints of oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) was NNC 0148-0000-0106 Trial ID: NN1952-3646 Clinical Trial Report Report Synopsis C Date: Version: Status: Page: 2411March 2011 April 2012 1.0 2.0 Final Page 6 of 7 Novo Nordisk significantly larger compared to that of insulin aspart with a coefficiant of variation (CV) of 200% for AUC for oral insulin 106 compared to a CV of 25% for AUC for sc insulin aspart The pharmacodynamic (PD) results demonstrated a rapid onset of action of oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastroresistant tablet) with mean GIR effect (measured as AUCGIR, 0-12 h) increasing from 204 to 3078 mg/kg over the tested dose range (300 to 14400 nmol) in the fasting state of healthy subjects Increasing doses of oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) showed increasing GIR effect over tested dose range in the fasting state in healthy subjects, although the GIR effect increased less than proportionally with dose The PD effects appeared to correspond relatively well with the PK exposure over the tested dose range. The inter-individual variability in GIR endpoints of oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) was significantly larger compared to that of sc insulin aspart (CV: 95-445% compared to CV: ~25% ) A single dose of 14400 nmol oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) had a GIR effect (AUCGIR and GIRmax) that was comparable to a sc dose of 162 nmol insulin aspart Trial Part 2 A single dose of 14400 nmol oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) administered to subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes in fasting state showed PK results that were comparable to the results seen in healthy subjects The inter-individual variability in the pharmacokinetic (PK) endpoints of oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastroresistant tablet) in the fasting state was larger compared to that of sc insulin aspart with a coefficiant of variation (CV) of 64184% for AUC for oral insulin 106 compared to a CV of 161% for AUC for sc insulin aspart The relative bio-efficacy of oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) compared to sc insulin aspart under fasting conditions was ~0.5% in subjects with type 1 diabetes and ~0.7% in subjects with type 2 diabetes Oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) mean AUC(0-12 h) values of 15770 and 1592 hpM for subjects with type 1 diabetes and mean AUC(0-12 h) values of 11349 and 1556 hpM were measured in the fasting and fed state, respectively, indicating an approximately 80-90% reduction of AUC with food. In addition, oral insulin 106 (GIPET I) mean Cmax as well as median tmax were reduced with the presence of food. In the meal test, effect of oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) on mean post-prandial BG(AUC) was small, with ~2030% suppression of post-prandial BG after active treatment compared to placebo in subjects with type 1 diabetes. No effect was seen in subjects with type 2 diabetes In the meal test, large individual variability in PK and post-prandial BG after oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) was seen, resulting in hypo- or hyperglycemia in subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes Safety Results General Few AEs were reported during this trial and all subjects recovered No serious AEs were reported There were no clinically significant findings for: Vital signs Physical examinations Laboratory safety variables (haematology, biochemistry, urinalysis) ECG recordings Trial Part 1 Single ascending doses up to 14400 nmol (2400 Units) oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) were well tolerated by healthy male subjects during glucose clamp conditions In total, 7 non- serious AEs were reported in 7 out of 60 dosed subjects and 5 of the AEs were recorded as possible related to treatment with oral insulin 106 The AEs comprised headache, nausea and vomiting. They were all mild or moderate in severity and all subjects recovered There was no apparent dose-related trend in type, frequency or severity in the AEs In total, 81 hypoglycaemic episodes were reported during the clamp period.

A total of four non-serious AEs were reported in three out of 12 subjects with type 2 diabetes. One of the AEs was recorded as possibly related to treatment and one was recorded as probably related to treatment. The AEs comprised nausea, vomiting, headache, diarhoea, nasopharyngitis, neck pain and hyperhidrosis. They were all mild or moderate in severity and all subjects recovered. There were no apparent trend in type, frequency or severity in the AEs for the four treatments In total, 28 treatment emergent hypoglycaemic episodes were reported during the four treatment periods. Of these, 23 hypoglycaemic episodes occurred in subjects with type 1 diabetes and 5 hypoglycaemic episodes occurred in subjects with type 2 diabetes. All hypoglycaemic episodes were classified as asymptomatic (according to the American Diabetes Association classification) and not considered clinically relevant. Three (3) of the hypoglycaemic episodes occurred during glucose clamp, six hypoglycaemic episodes occurred in relation to the meal test and 19 hypoglycaemic episodes occurred later than 12 hours post-dose when other insulin treatment was resumed. Conclusions Single doses of oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) up to 14400 nmol (2400 U) were well tolerated by healthy subjects and subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes during glucose clamps and meal test conditions The PK results of oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) demonstrated: Rapid absorption on all dose levels in fasting state Proportional increase with dose No difference was observed between healthy subjects and subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes The PD results of oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) demonstrated: Rapid onset of action in fasting state Increasing GIR effect over tested dose range PD effects appeared to be relatively well correlated to PK exposure In the fasting state, the inter-individual variability in PK and PD properties was larger after treatment with oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) compared to sc insulin aspart Relative bio-efficacy of oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) compared to sc insulin aspart was ~0.5% in subjects with type 1 diabetes and ~0.7% in subjects with type 2 diabetes Exposure of oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) was decreased by meal intake, indicating complete stop of absorption with presence of food In the meal test, the glucose lowering effect of oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) on postprandial BG levels was small, with ~2030% suppression of post-prandial glucose in subjects with type 1 diabetes and no effect in subjects with type 2 diabetes was observed In the meal test, large inter-individual variability in pharmacokinetics and post-prandial BG after treatment with oral insulin 106 (in a GIPET I gastro-resistant tablet) was seen in subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes The trial was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (2008) and ICH Good Clinical Practice (1996).
