Participant Flow

The trial was conducted at 37 sites in 8 countries, as follows: Austria (3), Belgium (4), Croatia (3), Ireland (1), Mexico (1), Russia (7), Great Britain (6), United States (12).

Participants were randomized 2:1 to receive either semaglutide subcutaneously (s.c.) once weekly or semaglutide placebo s.c. once weekly for a dose escalation period of 16 weeks and a maintenance period of 52 weeks. This was followed by a 7-week follow-up period after 'end of treatment' due to the long half-life of semaglutide.

Measure
Semaglutide 2.4 mg
Participants received once weekly s.c. injection of semaglutide for 68 weeks. Participants initially received 0.25 milligrams (mg) of semaglutide and the dose was then escalated once in 4 weeks for 16 weeks until the target dose of 2.4 mg was reached which was maintained for a period of 52 weeks: 0.25 mg (week 1 to week 4), 0.5 mg (week 5 to week 8), 1.0 mg (week 9 to week 12), 1.7 mg (week 13 to week 16) and 2.4 mg (week 17 to week 68). The treatment was an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Placebo
Participants received once weekly s.c. injection of placebo matched to semaglutide for 68 weeks. The treatment was an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

Percentage of participants who achieved improvement in weight category from baseline (week 0) to week 68 is presented. Improvement in weight category was defined as being in a lower weight category at week 68 compared to baseline according to CDC gender and age-specific growth charts: normal (BMI \<85th percentile), overweight (BMI \>=85th - \<95th percentile), obesity class I (BMI \>=95th - \<120% of the 95th percentile), obesity class II (BMI \>=120% of the 95th percentile - \<140% of the 95th percentile) and obesity class III (BMI \>=140% of the 95th percentile).

Change in BMI SDS from baseline to week 68 is presented. The SDS scores are also called as z-scores. BMI SDS was calculated using the following formula: Z=\[(value /M)\^L - 1\] / S\*L; where L, M and S are median (M), skewness (L) and variation coefficient (S) of children/adolescents' BMI provided for each sex and age. For each subject, a standard deviation score Z (SDS) was calculated based on age and sex referring to the values L, M and S. The method is described in the world health organisation (WHO) Multicentre Growth Reference, which also contains the values for L, M and S by age and sex. For Z (SDS) scores below -3 and above 3, the score was adjusted as described in the WHO instruction. Possible values range from -3 to +3, a negative score being beneficial. Data is reported for 'in-trial' period: the uninterrupted time interval from randomization to last contact with trial site.

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial participant administered or using a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or usage. All AEs reported here are TEAEs. TEAE is defined as an event that had onset date during the on-treatment period. The on-treatment period was defined as the interval from first to last trial product administration plus 7 weeks of follow-up and excluding any period of temporary treatment interruption defined as greater than (\>) 7 consecutive missed doses (corresponding to \>7 weeks off-treatment).

Participants received once weekly s.c. injection of semaglutide for 68 weeks. Participants initially received 0.25 milligrams (mg) of semaglutide and the dose was then escalated once in 4 weeks for 16 weeks until the target dose of 2.4 mg was reached which was maintained for a period of 52 weeks: 0.25 mg (week 1 to week 4), 0.5 mg (week 5 to week 8), 1.0 mg (week 9 to week 12), 1.7 mg (week 13 to week 16) and 2.4 mg (week 17 to week 68). The treatment was an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

An SAE is an AE that fulfils at least one of the following criteria: 1) results in death; 2) is life-threatening; 3) requires inpatient hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation; 4) results in persistent disability/incapacity; 5) is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; 6) important medical event. All AEs reported here are TEAEs. TEAE is defined as an event that had onset date during the on-treatment period. The on-treatment period was defined as the interval from first to last trial product administration plus 7 weeks of follow-up and excluding any period of temporary treatment interruption defined as \>7 consecutive missed doses (corresponding to \>7 weeks off-treatment).

Participants received once weekly s.c. injection of semaglutide for 68 weeks. Participants initially received 0.25 mg of semaglutide and the dose was then escalated once in 4 weeks for 16 weeks until the target dose of 2.4 mg was reached which was maintained for a period of 52 weeks: 0.25 mg (week 1 to week 4), 0.5 mg (week 5 to week 8), 1.0 mg (week 9 to week 12), 1.7 mg (week 13 to week 16) and 2.4 mg (week 17 to week 68). The treatment was an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Placebo
