Brief summary

The purpose of this clinical study is to find out if NNC0487-0111 is safe and effective for treating people who have excess body weight and type 2 diabetes. Participant will receive 2 injections every week: an active medicine and a placebo, both taken as injections under the skin once a week. The placebo is a treatment with no active medicine in it and will be given to all participants. In addition to placebo, participants will receive either of the active medicine NNC0487-0111 (the treatment being tested) or Semaglutide (an approved and commonly prescribed treatment used as comparator). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance.

Interventions

NNC0487-0111 will be administered subcutaneously using PDS290 pre-filled pen-injectors to one of the body parts: thigh, abdomen or upper arm.

DRUGSemaglutide

Semaglutide will be administered subcutaneously using PDS290 pre-filled pen-injectors to one of the body parts: thigh, abdomen or upper arm.

Placebo matched to NNC0487-0111 will be administered subcutaneously using pre- filled pen-injectors to one of the body parts: thigh, abdomen or upper arm.

DRUGPlacebo (matched to semaglutide)

Placebo matched to semaglutide will be administered subcutaneously using pre-filled pen-injectors to one of the body parts: thigh, abdomen or upper arm.

Inclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female (sex at birth). * Age 18 years or above at the time of signing informed consent. * Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus ≥ 180 days before screening. * Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 7-10 percentage (%) (53-86 millimole per mole \[mmol/mol\]) (both inclusive) as measured by the central laboratory at screening. * Treatment with lifestyle intervention, and/or 0-3 marketed oral antidiabetic drugs (OAD)s (metformin, α-glucosidase inhibitors (AGI), glinides, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), thiazolidinediones, or sulfonylureas (SU) 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) before screening. Key

Exclusion criteria

* Renal impairment with estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) \< 30 milliliter (mL)/ minute (min)/1.73 meter squared (m\^2) (2021 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration \[CKD-EPI\] formula), at screening. * Participant with diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy who received treatment with retinal photocoagulation, vitrectomy or anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (anti-VEGF) within 180 days before screening or are expected to require treatment within 180 days after screening. Diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy must be verified by an eye examination performed within 90 days before screening or in the period between screening and randomization. Pharmacological pupil-dilation is a requirement unless using a digital fundus photography camera specified for non-dilated examination. * Known hypoglycaemic unawareness as indicated by the investigator according to Clarke's questionnaire question 8. * Recurrent severe hypoglycaemic episodes within the last year as judged by the investigator. * Treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RA), dual GLP-1/gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) RAs (or any other GLP-1 based treatment), or amylin analogues before screening.
