Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Informed consent from parent(s) or legally acceptable representative (LAR) and child assent from the subject obtained before any trial-related activities. Trial-related activities are any procedures that are carried out as part of the trial, including activities to determine suitability for the trial. - Male or female, aged 10 to less than18 years at the day of randomisation. - Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) 6.5-11.0 percent (47-97 mmol/mol) (both inclusive). - Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus according to the American Diabetes Association criteria and treated with: - stable metformin dose* or - stable metformin dose* and a stable dose of basal insulin** or - stable dose of basal insulin** *stable metformin dose is defined as at least 1000 mg daily or the maximum tolerated dose for 56 days or longer prior to screening. **stable dose of basal insulin is defined as basal insulin treatment more than or equal to 30 days prior to screening, compared to the dose at screening, dose adjustments of plus or minus 25 percent are allowed. Are the trial subjects under 18? yes Number of subjects for this age range: 132 F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) no F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To confirm superiority of oral semaglutide at the maximum tolerated dose* (3 mg, 7 mg or 14 mg) versus placebo on glycaemic control in children and adolescents (age 10 to <18 years) with type 2 diabetes on a background treatment of metformin or basal insulin or both. *maximum tolerated dose is defined as maximum dose level defined according to individual glycaemic response and tolerability as assessed by the investigator;Secondary Objective: 1. To assess and compare the efficacy of oral semaglutide at the maximum tolerated dose (3 mg, 7 mg or 14 mg) versus placebo on a background treatment of metformin or basal insulin or both on: A. Other parameters of glycaemic control B. Parameters of body composition C. Growth parameters D. Cardio-metabolic parameters 2. To assess and compare the safety and tolerability of oral semaglutide at the maximum tolerated dose (3 mg, 7 mg or 14 mg) versus placebo on a background treatment of metformin or basal insulin or both.;Primary end point(s): Change in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) (%-point and mmol/mol);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From baseline (week 0) to week 26
