HbA1cPrimary· After 12 weeks of treatment.
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.

Percentage of Subjects With an Adverse EventsSecondary· After 12 weeks of treatment.
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.

Percentage of Subjects With Hypoglycaemic EpisodeSecondary· After 12 weeks of treatment
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

Change From Baseline in ECGSecondary· Week 0, week 12.
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).

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov
Time frame: The results for 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..
Reporting threshold: 5%.
Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.
This trial was conducted in Europe,Asia and Africa. Study participants were randomised evenly to treatment with semaglutide (0.1 mg QW - 1.6 mg QW, 6 treatment arms, placebo or liraglutide (1.2 mg QD, or 1.8 mg QD).Treatment allocation to semaglutide or placebo was double-blind, whereas liraglutide treatment was administered open-label.Primary efficacy parameter was HbA1c and the treatment duration was 12 weeks.
