Inclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria

* Have type 1 diabetes (T1D). * Have used any glucose-lowering medication other than metformin within 3 months prior to study entry or during screening/lead-in period or have used any glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) at any time in the past. * Have had any of the following cardiovascular conditions: acute myocardial infarction (MI), New York Heart Association Class III or Class IV heart failure, or cerebrovascular accident (stroke). * Have acute or chronic hepatitis, signs and symptoms of any other liver disease other than nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level \>2.5 times the upper limit of the reference range, as determined by the central laboratory at study entry; participants with NAFLD are eligible for participation in this trial. * Have had chronic or acute pancreatitis any time prior to study entry. * Have an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \<45 milliliters/minute/1.73 square meter, calculated by the Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) equation. * Have serum calcitonin ≥20 picograms per milliliter, as determined by the central laboratory at study entry. * Have any condition that is a contraindication for use of the GLP-1 RA class (per country-specific labels) at study entry or develop such condition between study entry and randomization.

The Least Squares (LS) mean was estimated from a mixed-effects model with repeated measures (MMRM) that included the independent variables: Baseline + Baseline BMI Group + Baseline Metformin Flag + Treatment + Time + Treatment\*Time.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 26

Population: All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug who had a baseline and postbaseline value excluding data after study drug discontinuation or rescue drug initiation.
