Objectives
Primary objective
To compare the effect of three once-daily dose levels of oral semaglutide (3, 7 and 14 mg) versus
sitagliptin 100 mg once-daily, both in combination with metformin, on glycaemic control in
subjects with T2D.
Secondary objectives
To compare the effect of three once-daily dose levels of oral semaglutide (3, 7 and 14 mg) versus
sitagliptin 100 mg once-daily, both in combination with metformin, on body weight in subjects with
T2D.
To compare the safety and tolerability of three once-daily dose levels of oral semaglutide (3, 7 and
14 mg) versus sitagliptin 100 mg once-daily, both in combination with metformin, in subjects with
T2D.
