Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Placebo Comparator: Treatment Period: Placebo QD
Participants will receive daily SC placebo injections during the 12-week, double-blind treatment period.
|
Drug: Metformin
Metformin hydrochloride immediate- or extended-release oral tablets will be supplied by the participant or investigational site as standard-of-care treatment beginning at least 8 weeks prior to randomization and throughout the 12-week treatment period. Metformin will also be continued during the 4-week follow-up. Dose selection will be based upon manufacturer specifications. Drug: Placebo Matching placebo to NNC0090-2746 will be self-administered daily via SC injection. |
Experimental: Treatment Period: NNC0090-2746 QD
Participants will receive daily 1.8-mg SC injections of NNC0090-2746 during the 12-week, double-blind treatment period.

Drug: Metformin
Metformin hydrochloride immediate- or extended-release oral tablets will be supplied by the participant or investigational site as standard-of-care treatment beginning at least 8 weeks prior to randomization and throughout the 12-week treatment period. Metformin will also be continued during the 4-week follow-up. Dose selection will be based upon manufacturer specifications. Drug: NNC0090-2746 NNC0090-2746 solution will be self-administered in daily doses of 1.8 mg via SC injection. |
Active Comparator: Treatment Period: Liraglutide QD
Participants will receive open-label liraglutide via SC injection during the 12-week treatment period. The dose scheme will be as follows: 0.6 milligrams (mg) each day during Week 1, followed by 1.2 mg each day during Week 2, and 1.8 mg each day from Weeks 3 to 12.

Drug: Liraglutide
Liraglutide will be self-administered daily via SC injection according to manufacturer specifications. Drug: Metformin Metformin hydrochloride immediate- or extended-release oral tablets will be supplied by the participant or investigational site as standard-of-care treatment beginning at least 8 weeks prior to randomization and throughout the 12-week treatment period. Metformin will also be continued during the 4-week follow-up. Dose selection will be based upon manufacturer specifications. |
