Objectives
This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe and South America. The aim of the trial is to compare the effect of once-weekly dosing of two dose levels of semaglutide versus sitagliptin 100 mg once-daily on glycaemic control after 30 weeks of treatment. Subjects will remain on their stable pre-trial metformin.
Active Ingredient
Semaglutide
Dosage Form
Solution for injection
Endpoints
Change in HbA1c Change from baseline (week 0) to week 30 in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) was evaluated. Results are based on the 'on-treatment without rescue medication' observation period and 'in trial' observation period. 'On-treatment without rescue medication' observation period: started at the date of first dose to either the day of last dose plus 7 days or first initiation of rescue medication, whichever came first. 'In-trial' observation period: started when a participant was randomised until the final scheduled visit, including any period after initiation of rescue medication or premature treatment discontinuation. Week 0, week 30
