Modification(s)  

This is a 68-week, randomised, double-blinded, double dummy, placebo-controlled, multicentre trial.  Subjects will be randomised in a 1:1:1 manner to receive either:
- Semaglutide s.c. 2.4 mg and semaglutide placebo II once-weekly
- Semaglutide s.c. 1.0 mg and semaglutide placebo I once-weekly
- Semaglutide placebo I and semaglutide placebo II once-weekly
All as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
There is a 1 week screening period followed by a randomisation visit and a 68-week treatment period. The treatment period is divided into a dose escalation period of 16 weeks and a maintenance period of 52 weeks. Subsequently there is a follow-up period of 7 weeks. The trial population will consist of subjects with BMI > 27 kg/m2 with T2D on 0-3 OADs but not treated with insulin.
