Obesity, Overweight

Brief summary

The researchers are doing the study to see if semaglutide may reduce the risk of having cardiovascular events in patients with overweight or obesity and with prior cardiovascular disease. The participant will either get semaglutide (active medicine) or placebo (dummy medicine). Which treatment the participants get is decided by chance. The participant's chance of getting semaglutide or placebo is the same. The participant will get the study medicine in a pen. The participants will need to use the pen to inject the study medicine in a skinfold once a week. The study will last for about 2.5 to 5 years. Participants will have up to 25 clinic visits with the study doctor.

Interventions

DRUGSemaglutide

Semaglutide will be injected into a skin fold, in the stomach, thigh or upper arm once a week at the same day of the week (to the extent possible) throughout the trial. Subjects will start semaglutide treatment at 0.24 mg; dose will gradually be increased every 4 weeks up to 2.4 mg.

DRUGPlacebo (semaglutide)

Placebo will be injected into a skin fold, in the stomach, thigh or upper arm once a week at the same day of the week (to the extent possible) throughout the trial. Participants will receive placebo at an equivalent dose to semaglutide.
