Group 2 names the comparator: placebo.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Semaglutide 2.4 mg | Participants received once-weekly subcutaneous (s.c) injection of 0.25 milligram (mg) Semaglutide administered using a DV3396 pen-injector followed by a fixed-dose escalation regimen, with dose increase every 4 weeks (to doses of 0.5, 1.0, 1.7 and 2.4 mg/week) until the maintenance dose of 2.4 mg after 16 weeks. Treatment was continued on the maintenance dose of 2.4 mg Semaglutide once weekly for an additional 36 weeks until week 52. The treatment was an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. | 12 | 138 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | Placebo | Participants received once-weekly subcutaneous (s.c) injection of 0.25 milligram (mg) placebo matched to 2.4 mg Semaglutide administered using a DV3396 pen-injector followed by a fixed-dose escalation regimen, with dose increase every 4 weeks (to doses of 0.5, 1.0, 1.7 and 2.4 mg/week) until the maintenance dose of 2.4 mg after 16 weeks. Treatment was continued on the maintenance dose of 2.4 mg placebo matched to 2.4 mg Semaglutide once weekly for an additional 36 weeks until week 52.
