Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Male or female. - Age above or equal to 18 years at the time of signing informed consent. - BMI above or equal to 30.0 kg/m^2. - Diagnosed with T2D above or equal to 180 days prior to the day of screening. - History of at least one self-reported unsuccessful dietary effort to lose body weight. - HbA1c 7.0-10.0% (53-86 mmol/mol) (both inclusive) as measured by central laboratory at screening. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 500 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 20

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - A self-reported change in body weight above 5 kg (11 lbs) within 90 days before screening irrespective of medical records. - Personal or first-degree relative(s) history of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 or medullary thyroid carcinoma. - Renal impairment with estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) below 30 mL/min/1.73 m^2 (< 45 mL/min/1.73 m^2 in participants treated with SGLT2i) according to CKD-EPI creatinine equation as defined by KDIGO 20121 by the central laboratory at screening. - Uncontrolled and potentially unstable diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy. Verified by a fundus examination performed within 90 days before 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. Efficacy and safety data will be collected at regular intervals throughout the study.

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: - To demonstrate the superiority of semaglutide s.c. 7.2 mg once weekly versus placebo as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, with respect to relative change in body weight after 72 weeks, in adults with obesity and T2D - To demonstrate the superiority of semaglutide s.c. 7.2 mg once weekly versus placebo as an adjunct to a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity, with respect to achieving body weight reduction = 5% after 72 weeks, in adults with obesity and T2D.;Secondary Objective: In adults with obesity and T2D – for semaglutide s.c. 7.2 mg once weekly as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity: To demonstrate the superiority: a) versus placebo, - with respect to: -achieving body weight reduction = 10%, 15%, 20% respectively after 72 weeks. -change in waist circumference and HbA1c after 72 weeks -To compare the efficacy versus placebo, on other factors related to body weight, on cardiovascular risk factors, on glucose metabolism after 72 weeks. - To compare safety versus placebo to pulse after 72 weeks - To compare the safety and tolerability versus placebo and versus semglutide s.c. 2.4 mg after 81 weeks respectively. - To compare the safety versus placebo and versus semglutide s.c. 2.4 mg, with respect to severe hypoglycaemic episodes, after 81 weeks.;Primary end point(s): 1.
