Brief Summary

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

This study will look at how well CagriSema and cagrilintide help children and adolescents with excess body weight lose weight. The study has 2 parts: main and extension study. In the main study, participants will either get CagriSema (a new study drug), cagrilintide (a new study drug), semaglutide (a drug that doctors can already prescribe to adolescents and adults) or placebo (a placebo looks like the treatment being tested, but doesn't have any active ingredients in it). Which treatment participants will get is decided by chance. Participants who get semaglutide in the main study will not take part in the extension study. If participants take part in the extension study, they will get either CagriSema or cagrilintide in this part of the study. Like all drugs, the study drugs may have side effects. The total time participants will be in the main study is about 1 year and 6 months. If participants take part in the extension study, the total time is about 4 years and 10 months.

* Greater than or equal to (\>=) 95th percentile for children aged 8 to \< 12 years (Tanner stage 1-5)
* \>= 95th percentile or \>= 85th percentile with the presence of at least one obesity-related complication including, but not limited to, type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypertension, dyslipidaemia or obstructive sleep apnoea for adolescents aged 12 to \< 18 years (Tanner stage 2-5).
* Laboratory parameters, as measured by the central lab at screening, within normal sex- and age-specific ranges of total calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone.

* Treatment with metformin should be stable (same dose and dosing frequency) for at least 56 days before screening.

* Uncontrolled and potentially unstable diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy. Verified by a fundus examination performed within 90 days before screening or in the period between screening and randomisation. Pharmacological pupil-dilation is a requirement unless using a digital fundus photography camera specified for non-dilated examination.

Exclusion Criteria
