A Research Study to See How Much CagriSema Lowers Blood Sugar and Body Weight Compared to Placebo in People With Type 2 Diabetes Treated With Diet and Exercise

Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06323174
Lead Sponsor
Novo Nordisk A/S
Brief Summary

This study will look at how much CagriSema helps participants with type 2 diabetes lower their blood sugar and body weight. CagriSema is a new investigational medicine. Doctors may not yet prescribe CagriSema. CagriSema will be compared to a "dummy" medicine (also called "placebo") that has no effect on the body. Participants will get either CagriSema or "dummy" medicine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. For each participant, the study will last for about one year.
