A Randomised Controlled Clinical Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Comparing Semaglutide to Placebo and Liraglutide

Change from baseline in HbA1c was evaluated after 12 weeks of treatment. Post baseline (week 0) missing values were replaced using the last observation carried forward (LOCF) approach.

The results of adverse event presented here are treatment emergent, i.e., TEAE. A TEAE was defined as an event that had onset on or after the first date (week 0) on trial product and no later than 5 weeks after the last date on trial product (week 17), or that had onset before the first date on trial product and increases in severity during the treatment period until 5 weeks after the last date on trial product.

The results of hypoglycaemic episode presented here are treatment emergent. Hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as treatment emergent if they had onset on or after the first day of randomised treatment (in week 0) and no later than 5 weeks after the last date on trial product (week 17). Hypoglycaemic episodes are classified as follows: Major: If the subject was not able to treat himself or herself and was needed to be administered food, glucagon or intravenous (i.v.) glucose by another person. Minor: If the subject was able to treat himself or herself and measured plasma glucose was <3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL). Symptoms only: If the subject was able to treat himself or herself and measured plasma glucose was >=3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL) or no plasma glucose measurement was done.

A standard 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) with a 10-second rhythm strip was performed at screening (week -2) and at the end of treatment (week 12). The time frame should be read as "week -2, week 12". Change from baseline in ECG was measured in terms of number of subjects in each category (normal, abnormal, not clinically significant [NCS] or abnormal clinically significant [CS]) at week -2 and week 12 (i.e., change in each category in terms of number of subjects from week -2 to week 12).

Change from baseline in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was evaluated after 12 weeks of treatment. Post baseline (week 0) missing values were replaced using the LOCF approach.

Change from baseline in alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) was evaluated after 12 weeks of treatment. Post baseline (week 0) missing values were replaced using the LOCF approach.

Change from baseline in total bilirubin was evaluated after 12 weeks of treatment. Post baseline (week 0) missing values were replaced using the LOCF approach.

Change from baseline in calcium, total was evaluated after 12 weeks of treatment. Post baseline (week 0) missing values were replaced using the LOCF approach.

Change from baseline in calcium, ionised was evaluated after 12 weeks of treatment. Post baseline (week 0) missing values were replaced using the LOCF approach.

Change from baseline in urea was evaluated after 12 weeks of treatment. Post baseline (week 0) missing values were replaced using the LOCF approach.

Change from baseline in urine-glucose was measured in terms of number of subjects in each category (negative, positive, >=55 mmol/L, or missing) at week 0 and week 12 (i.e., change in each category in terms of number of subjects from week 0 to week 12).

Change from baseline in urine-haemoglobin was measured in terms of number of subjects in each category (negative, trace, small, moderate/large and missing) at week 0 and week 12 (i.e., change in each category in terms of number of subjects from week 0 to week 12).

Change from baseline in urine-ketone was measured in terms of number of subjects in each category (negative, positive, >=55 mmol/L and missing) at week 0 and week 12 (i.e., change in each category in terms of number of subjects from week 0 to week 12).
