NCT05996848

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.

  • For participants with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) at screening the following criteria also apply:
  • Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus greater than equal to 180 days before screening
  • Treatment with either lifestyle intervention, or treatment with 1-3 marketed oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) (metformin, α-glucosidase inhibitors (AGI), glinides, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i)), thiazolidinediones, or sulphonylureas (SUs) 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) for at least 60 days before screening
  • Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) 7 percent-10 percent (53-86 millimoles per mole \[mmol/mol\]) (both inclusive) as measured by the central laboratory at screening

You may not qualify if:

  • For participants without T2D at screening:
  • HbA1c greater than or equal to 6.5 percent (48 mmol/mol) as measured by the central laboratory at screening
  • History of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus
  • For participants with T2D at screening:
  • Clinically significant or severe hypoglycaemia within 6 months before screening or history of hypoglycaemia unawareness
  • Renal impairment with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) lesser than 30 milli liter per min/1.73 meter square (mL/min/1.73 m\^2), as measured by the central laboratory at screening
  • Uncontrolled and potentially unstable diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy. Verified by a fundus examination performed within 90 days before screening or in the period between screening and randomisation. Pharmacological pupil-dilation is a requirement unless using a digital fundus photography camera specified for non-dilated examination
