Measure
Semaglutide J
Participants initially received 0.25 mg subcutaneous injections of semaglutide J once weekly and the dose was then escalated (0.25 mg in week 0 to week 4 and 0.5 mg in week 4 to week 8) once in 4 weeks until the target maintenance dose of 1.0 mg was reached which was maintained for a period of 20 weeks. Total treatment period was 28 weeks.
Semaglutide B
Participants initially received 0.25 mg subcutaneous injections of semaglutide B once weekly and the dose was then escalated (0.25 mg in week 0 to week 4 and 0.5 mg in week 4 to week 8) once in 4 weeks until the target maintenance dose of 1.0 mg was reached which was maintained for a period of 20 weeks.

Population: Safety analysis set included all participants who are exposed to study intervention.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant that is temporally associated with the use of IMP, whether or not considered related to the IMP. An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of an IMP. All presented adverse events are TEAE. A TEAE is defined as an adverse event with an onset date (or increase in severity) during the on-treatment observation period. On-treatment observation period is defined as from first drug date until the end of study.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline (week 0) to end of study (week 33)

Population: Since there was no sample with positive cross -reactivity to GLP-1, no further analysis was performed for invitro neutralizing effect towards native-GLP1. Therefore, no data is available for this end point.

Occurrence of anti-semaglutide antibodies with in-vitro neutralizing effect was to be performed based on positive cross -reactivity to GLP-1. Since there was no sample with positive cross -reactivity to GLP-1, no further analysis was performed for invitro neutralizing effect towards native-GLP1. Therefore, no data is available for this end point. In the reported data 'yes' infers who tested positive for anti-semaglutide antibodies whereas 'No' infers who tested negative for anti-semaglutide antibodies.
