Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This trial is conducted in Asia. The aim of the trial is to investigate safety and efficacy of semaglutide once weekly in monotherapy or in combination with one OAD (oral anti-diabetic drug) in Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes who are insufficiently controlled on diet/exercise therapy or OAD monotherapy.

All subjects will continue their pre-trial treatment (diet and exercise therapy or OAD monotherapy in addition to diet and exercise therapy) during the trial.

Study Groups

Semaglutide 0.5 mg

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

semaglutide

Intervention Type DRUG

Subject will receive either a dose of 0.5 or 1.0 mg of semaglutide once weekly (subcutaneous (s.c.) injection).Treatment duration 56 weeks.

Semaglutide 1.0 mg

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

semaglutide

Intervention Type DRUG

Subject will receive either a dose of 0.5 or 1.0 mg of semaglutide once weekly (subcutaneous (s.c.) injection).Treatment duration 56 weeks.

One additional OAD + pre-trial treatment

The type and dosage of the additional OAD will be selected by the investigators according to the approved Japanese labelling including drug combinations and contraindications. One of DPP-4 inhibitor (dipeptidyl peptidase-4), SU (sulfonylurea), glinide, biguanide, α-GI (α-glucosidase inhibitor)or TZD (thiazolidinediones) will be selected as the additional OAD. For the subjects treated with OAD monotherapy as pre-trial treatment, the type and dosage of the additional OAD with a different mechanism of action from the pre-trial OAD should be chosen.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

DPP-4 inhibitor

Intervention Type DRUG

Subjects will receive one DPP-4 inhibitor in addition to pre-trial OAD monotherapy, if any, for 56 weeks.
