  Purpose

This trial was conducted in Europe,Asia and Africa. Study participants were randomised evenly to treatment with semaglutide (0.1 mg QW - 1.6 mg QW, 6 treatment arms, placebo or liraglutide (1.2 mg QD, or 1.8 mg QD).Treatment allocation to semaglutide or placebo was double-blind, whereas liraglutide treatment was administered open-label.Primary efficacy parameter was HbA1c and the treatment duration was 12 weeks.
