Obesity or Overweight
Conditions
Brief summary
This study will look at how well the new medicine CagriSema helps people with excess body weight losing weight compared to a dummy medicine and a medicine called semaglutide. Participants will either get CagriSema, a dummy medicine or semaglutide. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants will take one injection once a week. The study medicine will be injected briefly with a thin needle, typically in the stomach, thighs or upper arms. The study will last for about 1 year.

The SF-36v2.0 is a 36-item commonly used generic clinical outcome assessment (COA) instrument measuring health-related quality of life and general health status across disease areas.

This endpoint assess the 'physical functioning domain'. The 0-100 scale scores from the SF-36 will be 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 correspond to the mean and standard deviation respectively. A positive change score indicates an improvement since baseline. |
