Study summary

This study will look at the change in body weight in people taking NNC0174-0833, liraglutide and "dummy" medicine, from the start to the end of the study. As well as taking the medicine, participants will have talks with study staff about healthy food choices, how to be more physically active and what participants can do to lose weight. Participants will either take NNC0174-0833, liraglutide or "dummy" medicine - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants will need to take one injection once a week or once a day, depending on the treatment. The study medicine is injected with a thin needle in a skin fold in the stomach, thigh or upper arm. The study will last for about 8 months. Participants will have 12 clinic visits with the study doctor.

    Percentage change in HOMA-IR from week 0 to week 26 is presented. Insulin resistance is a condition in which cells fail to respond to normal actions of hormone in body. HOMA-IR is calculated using a subject's fasting plasma insulin and glucose levels. HOMA-IR = fasting serum insulin (micro international units per milliliter (μU/ml)) × fasting plasma glucose (millimoles per liter (mmol/l)) / 22.5. HOMA-IR scores are classified as follows: less than 1.0: considered Insulin sensitive, 0.5-1.4: considered Healthy, Above 1.8: considered Early insulin resistance; Above 2.7 is considered significant insulin resistance. HOMA-IR score ranges from 0-infinity (no upper limit). Higher the score, higher the level of insulin resistance. Endpoint was evaluated based on data from in-trial period. In-trial period was defined as the uninterrupted time interval from date of randomisation to date of last contact with trial site. Follow-up time for positive antibodies was not included in in-trial period.

  16. Change in Homeostatic Model Assessment of Beta-cell Function (HOMA-beta)

    Change between the value of HOMA-beta cell function collected at Week 26 and HOMA-beta cell function collected at Week 0 is presented. The homeostatic model assessment estimates steady state beta cell function as a percentage of a normal reference population (%B). HOMA %B = 20 \* insulin (micro international units per milliliter (µIU/mL)) / fasting plasma glucose (millimoles per liter (mmol/L)) - 3.5. HOMA-beta score ranges from minus infinity to infinity (no limits). The higher the score the better beta-cell function for HOMA-beta. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from in-trial period. In-trial period was defined as the uninterrupted time interval from date of randomisation to date of last contact with trial site. Follow-up time for positive antibodies was not included in the in-trial period.

SecondaryPercentage Change in Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR)

Percentage change in HOMA-IR from week 0 to week 26 is presented. Insulin resistance is a condition in which cells fail to respond to normal actions of hormone in body. HOMA-IR is calculated using a subject's fasting plasma insulin and glucose levels. HOMA-IR = fasting serum insulin (micro international units per milliliter (μU/ml)) × fasting plasma glucose (millimoles per liter (mmol/l)) / 22.5. HOMA-IR scores are classified as follows: less than 1.0: considered Insulin sensitive, 0.5-1.4: considered Healthy, Above 1.8: considered Early insulin resistance; Above 2.7 is considered significant insulin resistance. HOMA-IR score ranges from 0-infinity (no upper limit). Higher the score, higher the level of insulin resistance. Endpoint was evaluated based on data from in-trial period. In-trial period was defined as the uninterrupted time interval from date of randomisation to date of last contact with trial site. Follow-up time for positive antibodies was not included in in-trial period.

SecondaryChange in Homeostatic Model Assessment of Beta-cell Function (HOMA-beta)

Change between the value of HOMA-beta cell function collected at Week 26 and HOMA-beta cell function collected at Week 0 is presented.

HOMA %B = 20 \* insulin (micro international units per milliliter (µIU/mL)) / fasting plasma glucose (millimoles per liter (mmol/L)) - 3.5. HOMA-beta score ranges from minus infinity to infinity (no limits). The higher the score the better beta-cell function for HOMA-beta. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from in-trial period. In-trial period was defined as the uninterrupted time interval from date of randomisation to date of last contact with trial site. Follow-up time for positive antibodies was not included in the in-trial period.
