Interventions

DRUG

semaglutide

Subjects will be randomised to receive either semaglutide 0.5 mg, semaglutide 0.5 mg placebo, semaglutide 1.0 mg or semaglutide 1.0 mg placebo within each group. Treatment with active drug or placebo blinded within each dose level. After randomisation, the subjects will follow a fixed dose escalation. The maintenance dose of 0.5 mg will be reached after 4 weeks of 0.25 mg. The maintenance dose of 1.0 mg will be reached after 8 weeks (4 weeks) of 0.25 mg and 4 weeks of 0.5 mg). Once-weekly subcutaneous (s.c., under the skin) administration. Trial duration per subject is 18 to 21 weeks depending on the individual subject's schedule
