A Research Study to Compare Two Doses of Semaglutide Taken Once Weekly in People With Type 2 Diabetes

Completed · Phase 3 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

In brief

This study compares the effect of two doses of semaglutide (1.0 mg and 2.0 mg) in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). People taking part in the study will take the medicine together with their current diabetes medicine (sulphonylurea and/or metformin). Participants will get a dose of either 1.0 mg or 2.0 mg semaglutide once a week - which dose is decided by chance. Participants will inject semaglutide under the skin once a week. The study will last for about 49 weeks. Participants will have 9 clinic visits and 2 phone calls with the study doctor. At the visits participants will have blood taken and eye tests done. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period. Female participants who can get pregnant will be checked 11 times for pregnancy via urine tests.

• HbA1c of 8-10% (64-86 mmol/mol) (both inclusive)
• Stable daily dose(s) for 90 days prior to the day of screening of:
• Any metformin formulations (equal to or above1500 mg or maximum tolerated or effective dose) alone or in combination with sulfonylureas (SU) (equal to or above half of the maximum approved dose according to local label or maximum tolerated or effective dose)

You may not qualify if…

• Treatment with any medication for the indication of diabetes or obesity other than stated in the inclusion criteria within the past 90 days prior to the day of screening. However, short term insulin treatment for a maximum of 14 days prior to the day of screening is allowed, as is prior insulin treatment for gestational diabetes

• Uncontrolled and potentially unstable diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy. Verified by a fundus examination performed within the past 90 days prior to screening or in the period between screening and randomisation. Pharmacological pupil-dilation is a requirement unless using a digital fundus photography camera specified for non-dilated examination
