- To confirm non-inferiority of CagriSema 2.4 mg/2.4 mg versus placebo: Time to first occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), a composite endpoint consisting of: cardiovascular (CV) death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of study (up to 163 weeks or more) ]Measured in months.
- To confirm superiority of CagriSema 2.4 mg/2.4 mg versus placebo: Time to first occurrence of MACE, a composite endpoint consisting of: CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and non-fatal stroke [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of study (up to 163 weeks or more) ]Measured in months.
- Time to first occurrence of an expanded MACE composite endpoint consisting of: CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, coronary revascularisation and unstable angina requiring hospitalisation [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of study (up to 163 weeks or more) ]Measured in months.
- Time to first occurrence of a composite heart failure endpoint consisting of: CV death, heart failure hospitalisation, and urgent heart failure visit [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of study (up to 163 weeks or more) ]Measured in months.
- Time to first occurrence of composite endpoint consisting of: all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and non-fatal stroke [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of study (up to 163 weeks or more) ]Measured in months.
- Time to occurrence of CV death [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of study (up to 163 weeks or more) ]Measured in months.
- Time to first occurrence of non-fatal myocardial infarction [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of study (up to 163 weeks or more) ]Measured in months.
- Time to first occurrence of non-fatal stroke [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of study (up to 163 weeks or more) ]Measured in months.
- Relative change in body weight [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 156) ]Measured in percentage (%).
- Change in waist circumference [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 156) ]Measured in centimeters (cm).
- Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 156) ]Measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
- Change in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 156) ]Measured in mmHg.
- Relative change in lipids: Total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, triglycerides and free fatty acids [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 156) ]Measured in percentage.
- Change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 156) ]Measured in percentage.
- Change in Short Form 36 v2.0 acute (SF-36v2) [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 156) ]SF-36v2.0 is a 36-item commonly used generic clinical outcome assessment (COA) instrument measuring health-related quality of life and general health status across disease areas. The SF-36v2.0 for adults with a 1 week recall period (i.e. acute version) measures the individual overall health-related quality of life in 8 health domains (physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, social functioning, role emotional, vitality and mental health). Furthermore, it includes two aggregated scores: a physical component summary score and a mental component summary score. The scores ranges from 0-100, higher scores indicates better health-related quality of life.
- Number of treatment emergent serious adverse events (TESAEs) [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of study (up to 163 weeks or more) ]Measured in count of events.
- Number of event adjudication committee (EAC)-confirmed malignant neoplasms [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of study (up to 163 weeks or more) ]Measured as count of events.
- Number of severe hypoglycaemic episodes (level 3) (only for participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus [T2D] at screening) [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of study (up to 163 weeks or more) ]Measured as count of events.
