What this study is testing ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03136484 ↗

Description as written by the study sponsor.

This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America. The aim of the trial is to compare the effect of once-weekly (OW) dosing of subcutaneous semaglutide (1.0 mg) versus once-daily dosing of oral canagliflozin (300 mg) on glycaemic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) on a background treatment of metformin

Treatments tested

• Semaglutide Drug

  Following a dose escalation phase of 8 weeks, semaglutide 1.0 mg once-weekly(administered subcutaneously, s.c., under the skin) and canagliflozin placebo once-daily (administered orally, as a tablet). Subjects will continue on their pre-trial daily dose of metformin.

• Canagliflozin Drug

  Following a dose escalation phase of 8 weeks, canagliflozin 300 mg once-daily (administered orally, as a tablet) and semaglutide placebo (administered subcutaneously, s.c., under the skin). Subjects will continue on their pre-trial daily dose of metformin.

• Placebo (canagliflozin) Drug

  Following a dose escalation phase of 8 weeks, semaglutide 1.0 mg once-weekly(administered subcutaneously, s.c., under the skin) and canagliflozin placebo once-daily (administered orally, as a tablet). Subjects will continue on their pre-trial daily dose of metformin.

• Placebo (semaglutide) Drug

  Following a dose escalation phase of 8 weeks, canagliflozin 300 mg once-daily (administered orally, as a tablet) and semaglutide placebo (administered subcutaneously, s.c., under the skin). Subjects will continue on their pre-trial daily dose of metformin.
