Description as written by the study sponsor.
The study compares two semaglutide medicines and looks at how well they control blood sugar levels, in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Participants will either get the currently available semaglutide or the semaglutide which is produced through a new manufacturing process. Participants need to take one injection of semaglutide once a week, on the same day of every week. Participants will have a total of 11 clinic visits and the study will last for about 35 weeks (approximately 8 months).
Treatments tested
- Semaglutide J Drug
Participants will initially receive 0.25 mg subcutaneous injections of semaglutide J OW and the dose will be then escalated once in 4 weeks for 8 weeks until the target maintenance dose of 1.0 mg is reached which will be maintained for a period of 20 weeks: 0.25 mg (week 1 to week 4), 0.5 mg (week 5 to week 8), 1.0 mg (week 9 to week 28).
- Semaglutide B Drug
Participants will initially receive 0.25 mg subcutaneous injections of semaglutide B OW and the dose will be then escalated once in 4 weeks for 8 weeks until the target maintenance dose of 1.0 mg is reached which will be maintained for a period of 20 weeks: 0.25 mg (week 1 to week 4), 0.5 mg (week 5 to week 8), 1.0 mg (week 9 to week 28).
