Brief summary

This study will look at how well the new medicine CagriSema helps people living with excess body weight and type 2 diabetes losing weight. Participants will either get CagriSema or a dummy medicine. Which treatment they get is decided by chance. The study will last for about 1½ years. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to get pregnant during the study period.

Inclusion criteria

* Male or female * Age above or equal to 18 years at the time of signing informed consent * BMI greather than or equal to 27.0 kg/m\^2 * Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus greater than or equal to 180 days before screening * Treatment with either lifestyle intervention, or treatment with 1-3 marketed oral antidiabetic drugs (OAD)s (metformin, α-glucosidase inhibitors (AGI), glinides, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), thiazolidinediones, or sulphonylureas (SU)s as a single agent or in combination) according to local label * Treatment with oral antidiabetic drugs should be stable (same drug(s), dose and dosing frequency) for at least 90 days before screening * HbA1c 7%-10% (53-86 mmol/mol) (both inclusive) as measured by the central laboratory at screening

Exclusion criteria

* Clinically significant or severe hypoglycaemia within 6 months before screening or history of hypoglycaemia unawareness * Renal impairment with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) below 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2, as measured by the central laboratory at screening * Uncontrolled and potentially unstable diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy. Verified by a fundus examination performed within 90 days before screening or in the period between screening and randomisation. Pharmacological pupil-dilation is a requirement unless using a digital fundus photography camera specified for non-dilated examination.

Change in IWQOL-Lite-CT: Total score, Physical and Psycosocial scoreFrom baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 68)IWQOL-Lite-CT is a 20-item clinical outcomes assessment (COA) instrument used to assess the impact of body weight changes in obesity studies on patients' physical and psychosocial functioning in three composite scores (physical function, physical and psychosocial) and a total score. Score ranges for composite score (physical composite, psychosocial composite and physical function composite) and Total score is 0-100. Higher scores indicate better level of functioning.
Change in Control of Eating Questionnaire (CoEQ): Craving Control score, Positive Mood score, Craving for Sweet score, Craving for Savoury food score, Hunger score and Satiety scoreFrom baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 68)CoEQ is a 19-item multidimensional patient-reported outcome (PRO) that assesses the experience of hunger, satiety, and severity and type of food cravings. CoEQ consists of 4 subscales that measure craving control (5 items), positive mood (4 items), craving for sweet (4 items), and craving for savoury food (4 items), and 2 single items that address hunger and satiety. Each item is evaluated on a 0-10 (i.e., 11-point) numeric rating scale. The total score for each subscale is calculated as the sum of the item scores divided by the number of items in the subscale. Scores ranges are thus: Craving Control 0-50/5 = 0-10); Positive Mood (0-40/4 = 0-10); Craving Sweet (0-40/4 = 0-10); Craving Savoury food (0-40/4 = 0-10); single items that address hunger and satiety (0-10). Higher score represents a greater level of Craving Control.
