Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the effect of semaglutide once-weekly on glycaemic control versus insulin aspart three times daily, both as add on to metformin and optimised insulin glargine (U100) in subjects with type 2 diabetes.;Secondary Objective: 1. To demonstrate that semaglutide once-weekly lowers the risk of severe hypoglycaemic episodes compared to insulin aspart three times daily, both as add on to metformin and optimised insulin glargine (U100) in subjects with type 2 diabetes. 2. To compare the effect of semaglutide once-weekly versus insulin aspart three times daily, both as add on to metformin and optimised insulin glargine (U100) in subjects with type 2 diabetes with regards to: -body weight -lipids -blood pressure -health-related quality of life -safety;Primary end point(s): Change in HbA1c (%-point);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From baseline to week 52

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Time to first event adjudication committee confirmed severe hypoglycaemic episode (American Diabetes Association) 2. Time to first event adjudication committee confirmed severe hypoglycaemic episode (American Diabetes Association) requiring hospitalisation, documented medical help, or is life threatening 3. Change in body weight (kg);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1-2. From randomisation up to week 52 3. From baseline to week 52
