Exclusion criteria

Presence or history of diabetes, cancer or any clinically significant cardiac, respiratory, metabolic, renal, hepatic, GI (gastrointestinal), endocrine, dermatological, venereal, haematological, neurological, or psychiatric diseases or disorders, as judged by the investigator. Any disorder which, in the opinion of the investigator, might jeopardise subject's safety or compliance with the protocol

History of chronic pancreatitis or idiopathic acute pancreatitis
Smoking of more than 5 cigarettes (including nicotine substitute products), or the equivalent, per day or unwilling to refrain from smoking whenever required for the trial procedure
Use of prescription drugs within 3 weeks or 5 times the half-life, whichever is longer, prior to Visit 2 (Day 1), non-prescription drugs within 1 week prior to Visit 2 (Day 1). The use of vitamins and minerals, and the occasional use of paracetamol (acetaminophen) or acetylsalicylic acid are permitted
Any blood drawn in excess of 25 mL in the past month, or donation of blood or plasma in excess of 400 mL within the 3 months preceding screening
Previous GI surgery such as invasive and corrective procedures involving the oesophagus, stomach, duodenum, gallbladder (e.g., cholecystectomy), pancreas or intestinal resections. Exempt are subjects that underwent uncomplicated surgical and diagnostic procedures such as appendectomy, hernia surgery, polypectomy, biopsies, as wells as colonic and gastric endoscopy
