Brief summary

This study will look at the change in the participant's body weight from the start to the end of the study. This is to compare the effect on body weight in people taking semaglutide (a new medicine) and people taking dummy medicine. In addition to taking the study medicine, the participant will have talks with study staff about healthy food choices, how to be more physically active and what else the participant can do to lose weight. Overweight and obesity is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, weight loss has shown to have a beneficial impact on the blood sugar levels. The participant will either get semaglutide or dummy medicine - which treatment the participant get is decided by chance. The participant will need to take 2 injections at the same time once a week. The study medicine is injected with a thin needle in a skin fold in the stomach, thigh or upper arm. The study will last for about 1.5 years

Interventions

Subcutaneous (s.c.) injections of semaglutide once weekly at an escalating doses (0.25 mg/week, 0.5 mg/week, 1.0 mg mg/week). The dose will be escalated to next level every 4 weeks.

Subcutaneous injections of semaglutide once weekly at an escalating doses (0.25 mg/week, 0.5 mg/week, 1.0 mg mg/week, 1.7 mg/week and 2.4 mg/week). The dose will be escalated to next level every 4 weeks.

Change in Short Form 36 v2.0 Acute (SF-36) (Physical Functioning Score)Baseline (week 0) to week 68SF-36 is a 36-item patient-reported survey of patient health that measures the participant's overall health-related quality of life (HRQoL). SF-36v2™ questionnaire measured 8 domains of functional health and well-being as well as 2 component summary scores (physical component summary and mental component summary). This endpoint shows results for 'physical functioning domain'. The 0-100 scale scores from the SF-36 were converted to norm-based scores to enable a direct interpretation in relation to the distribution of the scores in the 2009 U.S. general population. In the metric of norm-based scores, 50 and 10 corresponds to the mean and standard deviation respectively. Change from week 0 in the domain scores were evaluated at week 68. A positive change score indicates an improvement since baseline. Results are based on the data from in-trial observation period.

Participants Who Achieve (Yes/no): Responder Definition Value for SF-36 Physical Functioning ScoreAt week 68The observed number of participants experiencing a meaningful within participant improvement in SF-36 Physical function after 68 weeks was determined based on two thresholds. The threshold of 4.3 is the default generic responder threshold defined in SF-36 manual for a general population. The threshold of 3.7 is specific for overweight or obese population included in the study and calculated using patient global rating anchor questionnaires to reflect participants' own perspective based on Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendations. In the reported data, Yes infers the number of participants who have achieved an improvement in score greater than or equal to the threshold and No infers number of participants who have not achieved an improvement in score greater than or equal to the threshold. Endpoint was evaluated based on in-trial observation period which is the uninterrupted time interval from randomization (week 0) to last trial related subject-site contact (week 75).
Participants Who Achieve (Yes/no): Responder Definition Value for IWQOL-Lite for CT Physical Function Domain (5-items) ScoreAt week 68The observed number of participants experiencing a meaningful within participant improvement in IWQOL-Lite-CT physical function after 68 weeks was determined based on two different thresholds. The threshold of 20 was a preliminary responder threshold based on earlier studies. The threshold of 14.6 is specific for the population with overweight or obesity included in the study and calculated using patient global rating anchor questionnaires to reflect participants' own perspective based on FDA recommendations. In the reported data, Yes infers the number of participants who have achieved an improvement in score greater than or equal to the threshold and No infers the number of participants who have not achieved an improvement in score greater than or equal to the threshold. The endpoint was evaluated based on the in-trial observation period which was defined as the uninterrupted time interval from randomization (week 0) to last trial related subject-site contact (week 75).

Participants Who Achieve (Yes/no): Responder Definition Value for IWQOL-Lite for CT Physical Function Domain (5-items) Score

The observed number of participants experiencing a meaningful within participant improvement in IWQOL-Lite-CT physical function after 68 weeks was determined based on two different thresholds. The threshold of 20 was a preliminary responder threshold based on earlier studies. The threshold of 14.6 is specific for the population with overweight or obesity included in the study and calculated using patient global rating anchor questionnaires to reflect participants' own perspective based on FDA recommendations. In the reported data, Yes infers the number of participants who have achieved an improvement in score greater than or equal to the threshold and No infers the number of participants who have not achieved an improvement in score greater than or equal to the threshold. The endpoint was evaluated based on the in-trial observation period which was defined as the uninterrupted time interval from randomization (week 0) to last trial related subject-site contact (week 75).

The observed number of participants experiencing a meaningful within participant improvement in SF-36 Physical function after 68 weeks was determined based on two thresholds. The threshold of 4.3 is the default generic responder threshold defined in SF-36 manual for a general population. The threshold of 3.7 is specific for overweight or obese population included in the study and calculated using patient global rating anchor questionnaires to reflect participants' own perspective based on Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendations. In the reported data, Yes infers the number of participants who have achieved an improvement in score greater than or equal to the threshold and No infers number of participants who have not achieved an improvement in score greater than or equal to the threshold. Endpoint was evaluated based on in-trial observation period which is the uninterrupted time interval from randomization (week 0) to last trial related subject-site contact (week 75).
