Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the effect of once-weekly dosing of two dose levels of semaglutide versus sitagliptin 100 mg once-daily on glycaemic control after 56 weeks of treatment;Secondary Objective: To compare the effect of once-weekly dosing of two dose levels of semaglutide versus sitagliptin 100 mg once-daily after 56 weeks of treatment on: - Inducing and maintaining weight loss - Other parameters of efficacy, safety and tolerability;Primary end point(s): Change in HbA1c;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From baseline to week 56

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Confirmatory efficacy endpoint: 1. Change in body weight Supportive efficacy endpoints: Change in: 2. Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) 3. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure 4. Patient reported outcome (PRO) questionnaire Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire status (DTSQs) These endpoints will be evaluated as the mean treatment differences. Subjects who achieve (yes/no): 5. HbA1c =6.5% (48 mmol/mol) American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) target This endpoint will be evaluated as the odds ratio between treatments.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Confirmatory efficacy endpoint: 1. From baseline to week 56 Supportive efficacy endpoints: 2.-4. From baseline to week 56 5. After 56 weeks treatment
