General information about the trial
Main objective of the trial
o compare the effect of once-weekly dosing of two dose levels of subcutaneous semaglutide (0.5 mg and 1.0 mg) versus once-weekly dosing of two dose levels of subcutaneous dulaglutide (0.75 mg and 1.5 mg) on glycaemic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes on a background treatment with metformin.
Protection of trial subjects
The trial was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, ICH Good Clinical Practice, EN ISO 14155 Parts 1 and 2 and FDA 21 CFR 312.120.
Background therapy
Subjects were to continue metformin at pre-trial dose and frequency during the whole treatment period unless rescue medication was needed.

Change in HbA1c
End point description
Results are based on HbA1c data from on-treatment without rescue medication observation period. The ‘on-treatment’ observation period was the period where the subject was considered to be exposed to trial product. The ‘on-treatment without rescue medication’ observation period was a subset of the ‘on-treatment’ observation period, where subjects did not receive any non-investigational antidiabetic medication (rescue medication). This period includes the observations recorded at, or after the date of first dose of trial product and not after the first occurrence of the following: the end-date of the ‘on-treatment’ observation period or initiation of rescue medication. The post-baseline responses are analysed using a mixed model for repeated measurements with treatment and country as fixed factors and baseline value as covariate, all nested within visit. Analysis was based on FAS (all randomised subjects exposed to at least one dose of trial product).

Adverse event reporting additional description
A TEAE was defined as an AE with onset in the ‘on-treatment’ period (information collected while subjects were considered as exposed to trial product). This corresponded to information collected from first administration of trial product until the follow-up (5 weeks after the last treatment including a visit window of +7 days)
