Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - 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 - Renal impairment measured as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) value of less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 according to Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKDEPI) creatinine equation as defined by KDIGO 2012 classification - 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

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To establish the superior effect of semaglutide s.c. 2.0 mg once-weekly versus semaglutide s.c. 1.0 mg once-weekly on glycaemic control in subjects with T2D, on a background of metformin with or without sulphonylurea (SU) treatment.;Secondary Objective: To compare the effect of semaglutide s.c. 2.0 mg once-weekly versus semaglutide s.c. 1.0 mg once-weekly in subjects with T2D on a background of metformin with or without SU treatment, on body weight, vital signs, hypoglycaemia and general safety and tolerability.;Primary end point(s): Change in HbA1c (%-points);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From baseline (week 0) to week 40

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Change in body weight (kg) 2. Change in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (mmol/l) 3. Change in body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2) 4. Change in waist circumference (cm) 5. HbA1c less than 7% at week 40 (yes/no) 6. HbA1c 6.5% or less at week 40 (yes/no) 7. Weight loss 5% or more at week 40 (yes/no) 8. Weight loss 10% or more at week 40 (yes/no) 9. Number of treatment emergent severe or blood glucose confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemic episodes 10. Change in pulse rate (bpm);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1.-4. From baseline (week 0) to week 40 5.-8. At week 40 9. From first dose to week 40 10. From baseline (week 0) to week 40
