Brief summary

Semaglutide injection is a new drug developed according to Ozempic® biosimilars.This trial is conducted in China. The purpose of this study is to investigate the similarities in the efficacy and safety of semaglutide injection and Ozempic® in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, respectively.

Detailed description

This study is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel assignment, which plans to enroll 476 patients with type 2 diabetes And Stable daily dose for 4 weeks prior to the day of screening of the metformin formulations (greater than or equal to 1500 mg to less than or equal to 2000 mg or maximum tolerated dose documented greater than or equal to 1000 mg. The study was divided into three phases: screening, baseline and treatment.

Interventions

The subject will receive either a dose semaglutide once weekly (subcutaneous (s.c.) injection). The initial dose of 0.25 mg is s.c. once weekly, and the dose is increased to 0.5 mg after 4 weeks of administration, and the dose is increased to 1 mg after 4 weeks of 0.5 mg administration, and the dose is continued at a stable dose of 1 mg for 24 weeks.Treatment duration 32 weeks.
