This trial is conducted globally. The aim of the trial is to evaluate cardiovascular and other long-term outcomes with semaglutide in subjects with type 2 diabetes. The trial is event-driven, i.e. the maximum trial duration (up to max. 148 weeks) will depend on the accrual of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in this trial and the remaining research programme. The incidence of MACE will be monitored throughout the trial which will be terminated according to plan when pre-specified stopping criteria are met.
Once weekly doses of 0.5 mg semaglutide after an initial dose escalation step of 0.25 mg as an add-on to the standard-of-care treatment. Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin)
Once weekly doses of 1.0 mg semaglutide after an initial dose escalation step of 0.25 mg followed by 0.5 mg dose escalation as an add-on to the standard-of-care treatment. Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin)
Once weekly doses volume-matched placebo, as an add-on to the standard-of-care treatment. Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin).
