A research study to see how well the new weekly medicine IcoSema, which is a combination of insulin icodec and semaglutide, controls blood sugar level in people with type 2 diabetes compared to weekly insulin icodec (COMBINE1)

A 52 week study comparing the efficacy and safety of once weekly IcoSema and once weekly insulin icodec, both treatment arms with or without oral anti diabetic drugs, in participants with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with daily basal insulin. (NN1535-4591,COMBINE1) - COMBINE 1
