The trial

How NCT05813912 was run

This study looks at how a new medicine insulin icodec helps in reducing blood sugar levels when given along with semaglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes. Participants will get the medicine insulin icodec once a week in the first part of the study (run-in period-26 weeks). Participants will only enter the second part of the study if the blood sugar levels have not reduced to normal. If blood sugar levels are normal after the first 26 weeks, participants will continue in a 5-week follow up period. In the second part of the study (intensification period-26 weeks), participants will get both insulin icodec and semaglutide once weekly after which they will continue in a 5-week follow up period. Participants will have to inject the study medicines once a week on the same day of the week in a skin fold in the thigh, upper arm or stomach. The study will last for about 13 months. Participants will get a blood glucose meter to check blood sugar levels. In addition, participants will be asked to enter blood sugar levels in the study phone. In addition, Participants will be asked to enter selected few blood sugar values (three times during the study) in a paper diary that will be provided to participants. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to get pregnant during the study period.

  • Insulin Icodec + Semaglutide: Participants will receive insulin icodec once weekly for 26 weeks in run-in period to ensure the dose optimization. Thereafter, participants meeting intensification criteria will proceed to the 26-week treatment period to receive once weekly semaglutide subcutaneously starting from 0.25 milligrams (mg) and dose increased up to 1 mg along with 700 units per milliliter (U/mL) insulin icodec therapy. There are no maximum or minimum insulin doses.

Oral combination products (for the allowed individual oral anti-diabetic drugs) Exclusion Criteria: * Presence or history of pancreatitis (acute or chronic) within 180 days before screening * Myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalisation for unstable angina pectoris or transient ischaemic attack within 180 days prior to the day of screening and between screening and initiation * Chronic heart failure classified as being in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV at screening * Planned coronary, carotid or peripheral artery revascularization * Uncontrolled and potentially unstable diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy. Verified by a fundus examination performed within the past 90 days prior to screening or in the period between screening and initiation. Pharmacological pupil-dilation is a requirement unless using a digital fundus photography camera specified for non-dilated examination
