Efficacy and Safety of Once-weekly Semaglutide S.C. 2.0 mg as Add-on to Dose-reduced Insulin Glargine vs Titrated Insulin Glargine in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes and Overweight

Name
NN9535-4801
Description
This study compares semaglutide, together with a lower dose of insulin glargine, to a higher dose of insulin glargine in participants with type 2 diabetes. The study looks at how well the study medicines control blood glucose levels. Participants will either get semaglutide together with a lower dose of insulin glargine or a higher dose of insulin glargine. The study will last for about 47 weeks (approximately 11 months). Participants will have 9 clinic visits, 15 phone/video calls and 1 home visit. Participants will be asked to wear a sensor that measures their blood sugar all the time in 2 periods of 10 days during the study.

Treatment
Semaglutide
Participants will receive once-weekly semaglutide s.c. for 40 weeks. Semaglutide 0.25 mg will be given at week 0 and then the dose will be escalated at weeks 4, 8 and 12 to 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg respectively.
Arms:
Insuline glargine U100 (reduced) + semaglutide
Insuline glargine U100 (reduced)
Participants will receive insulin glargine U100 s.c. once-daily. Insulin glargine dose will be reduced by 10 U at initiation of semaglutide and then again at each semaglutide dose escalation up to 40 weeks. The dose will be adjusted based on the mean of three pre-breakfast SMPG values (target SMPG: 4.4-7.2 mmol/L).
Arms:
Insuline glargine U100 (reduced) + semaglutide
Insuline glargine U100 (titrated)
Participants will receive titrated insulin glargine U100 s.c. once-daily up to 40 weeks. The dose will be adjusted based on the mean of three pre-breakfast SMPG values (target SMPG: 4.4-7.2 mmol/L).

Eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D) mellitus greater than or equal to (\>=) 180 days before screening. * Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) of 7-10 percentage \[(53-86 millimoles per mole (mmol/mol)\] (both inclusive) as assessed by central laboratory on the day of screening. * Body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to (\>=) 25 kilograms per meter square (kg/m\^2) on the day of screening. * Stable daily dose(s) greater than or equal to (\>=) 90 days before screening of any of the following anti-diabetic drugs or combination regimens: * Any metformin formulations greater than or equal to (\>=) 1500 milligrams (mg) or maximum tolerated or effective dose. * Any metformin combination formulation greater than or equal to (\>=) 1500 mg or maximum tolerated or effective dose. The treatment can be with or without sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors. • Treated with a once daily basal insulin (e.g. insulin glargine Unit 100 or U300, neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH) insulin, insulin detemir, insulin degludec) less than or equal to (\<=) 40 units/day (U/day) for greater than or equal to (\>=) 90 days before screening. Short-term bolus insulin treatment for a maximum of 14 days before screening is allowed. Exclusion Criteria: * Uncontrolled and potentially unstable diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy. Verified by a fundus examination performed within the past 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. * Potentially missed diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes (T1D) or latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) verified by C-peptide less than 0.26 nanomoles per litre (nmol/L) (or 260 picomoles per liter \[pmol/L\] \[0.78 nanograms per millilitre {ng/mL}\]) or antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (anti-GAD) greater than 5 units/millilitre, as measured by the central laboratory at screening. * Presence or history of pancreatitis (acute or chronic). * Renal impairment measured as estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) value of less than 30 millilitre per minute per 1.73 meter square at screening as defined by Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2012 classification. * Any episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis within 90 days before screening. * Known hypoglycaemic unawareness as indicated by the investigator according to Clarke's questionnaire question 8.
