Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the effect of three once-daily dose levels of oral semaglutide (3, 7 and 14 mg) versus once-daily placebo on glycaemic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) treated with diet and exercise only;Secondary Objective: 1. To compare the effect of three once-daily dose levels of oral semaglutide (3, 7 and 14 mg) versus once-daily placebo on body weight in subjects with T2D treated with diet and exercise only. 2. To compare the safety and tolerability of three once-daily dose levels of oral semaglutide (3, 7 and 14 mg) versus once-daily placebo in subjects with T2D treated with diet and exercise only;Primary end point(s): Change in HbA1c;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From baseline to week 26

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Change in body weight (kg) 2. Change in fasting plasma glucose 3. If a subject achieves (yes/no) HbA1c below 7.0% (53 mmol/mol) (American Diabetes Association target) 4. Number of treatment-emergent adverse events during exposure to trial product 5. Number of treatment-emergent severe or blood glucose confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemic episodes during exposure to trial product;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. + 2. From baseline to week 26 3. After week 26 4. + 5. Assessed up to approximately 31 weeks
