| Arm | Intervention/treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Liraglutide 3.0 mg |
Drug: liraglutide
3.0 mg liraglutide administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily for 32 weeks + diet and exercise |
| Placebo Comparator: Placebo |
Drug: placebo
Placebo administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily for 32 weeks + diet and exercise |
- Change From Baseline in Apnoea-hypopnoea Index (AHI) [ Time Frame: Week 0, Week 32 ]Observed mean change from baseline in AHI (events/hour) after 32 weeks of treatment. AHI (apnoea and hypopnoea events per hour of sleep) is a measure used for the diagnosis and severity classification of obstructive sleep apnoea. AHI severity category: none ≤4.9; mild 5.0-14.9; moderate 15.0-29.9; severe ≥30.0 events/hour.
- Change From Baseline in Body Weight (kg) [ Time Frame: Week 0, week 32 ]Observed mean change from baseline in fasting body weight (kg) after 32 weeks of treatment.
- Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose [ Time Frame: Week 0, week 32 ]Observed mean change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose (mmol/L) after 32 weeks of treatment.
- Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) (%) [ Time Frame: Week 0, week 32 ]Observed mean change from baseline in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) (%) after 32 weeks of treatment.
