Brief summary

This study will look at the change in body weight from the start to the end of the study. The purpose of the study 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 medicine participants will have talks with study staff about healthy food choices, how to be more physically active and what else they can do to lose weight. Participants will either get semaglutide or "dummy medicine" - which treatment is decided by chance. Participants will need to take 1 injection once a week. The study medicine is injected with a thin needle in a skinfold in the stomach, thigh or upper arm.• The study will last for about 1 year. Participants will have 11 clinic visits and 8 phone calls with the study doctor. Participants will have 3 clinic visits where they cannot eat and drink (water is allowed) for up to 8 hours before the visit and 1 clinic visit where they cannot eat and drink for up to 2 hours before the visit. (4 visits and 1 visit, respectively, if they have type 2 diabetes (T2D)). Participants will have 4 clinic visits where they will have blood samples taken. (5 visits if they have T2D). For China: Participants will have 9 clinic visits where they will have blood samples taken. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.

The trial was conducted at 28 sites in 3 countries as follows (all sites screened and randomized): Region China (includes China mainland and Hong Kong) China mainland (23 sites) and Hong Kong (1 site), Brazil (2 sites) and South Korea (2 sites).

Pre-assignment details

Participants were randomized in 2:1 ratio to receive 2.4 mg semaglutide subcutaneously (s.c.) or semaglutide matching placebo. The trial has a 44-week treatment period (16 weeks of dose escalation period and 28 weeks of maintenance period), followed by a 7-week follow-up period.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Semaglutide 2.4 mg
Participants initiated at a once weekly dose of 0.25 mg semaglutide s.c. followed a fixed-dose escalation regimen, with dose increasing every 4 weeks (to doses of 0.5, 1.0, 1.7 and 2.4 mg/week), to reach maintenance dose after 16 weeks. Treatment was continued on the maintenance dose of 2.4 mg once-weekly for an additional 28 weeks until week 44 adjunct to a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity.

SF-36 is a 36-item participants-reported survey of participants health that measures the partici-pants overall health-related quality of life (HRQoL). SF-36 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 outcome measure shows results for 'physical functioning domain'. Physical function domain score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher values indicating better functional health and well-being. Change from baseline (week 0) in the domain scores were evaluated at week 44. These outcome measures were evaluated based on data from in-trial observation period which is the uninterrupted time interval from (week 0) to (week 51).
