Inclusion Criteria
  • Have, within the last 4 years, been diagnosed with T2D based on the World Health Organization classification or other locally applicable diagnostic standards.

  • Have HbA1c ≥7% to ≤9.5% as determined by the central laboratory.

  • Have been on a stable treatment of metformin only at least 90 days preceding baseline

    • with the minimum effective dose of ≥1500 mg/day, but not higher than the maximum approved dose per country-specific label, or
    • <1500 mg/day in case of intolerance of full therapeutic dose.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Have type 1 diabetes mellitus

  • Have a history of chronic or acute pancreatitis any time prior to study entry

  • Have a history of

    • proliferative diabetic retinopathy
    • diabetic macular edema, or
    • no proliferative diabetic retinopathy requiring immediate or urgent treatment
  • Are at high risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the investigator's opinion or have a history of any of these CV conditions prior to study entry

    • myocardial infarction
    • percutaneous coronary revascularization procedure
    • carotid stenting or surgical revascularization
    • nontraumatic amputation
    • peripheral vascular procedure (e.g., stenting or surgical revascularization)
    • cerebrovascular accident (stroke), or congestive heart failure
  • Have family or personal history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2)

  • Have within 90 days prior to screening received treatment with medications intended to promote weight loss. This includes prescribed, over the counter, or alternative remedies

  • Have an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30 mL/minute/1.73 m2 (or lower than the country-specific threshold for discontinuing metformin therapy per local label), calculated by chronic kidney disease-epidemiology equation as determined by central laboratory at screening.

  • Have been treated with any injectable glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and insulin prior to screening.

    • Exception: use of insulin for gestational diabetes or short-term use (<14 days) for acute conditions such as acute illness, hospitalization, or elective surgery.
