AMAZE 2: A Research Study Investigating How Well the Medicine NNC0487-0111 Helps People With Excess Body Weight and Type 2 Diabetes Lose Weight
(AMAZE 2)
What this study is about
The purpose of this clinical study is to find out if NNC0487-0111 is safe and effective for treating people who have excess body weight and type 2 diabetes. There are 2 study treatments in this study taken as injections under the skin once a week. Participants will either get NNC0487-0111 (the treatment being tested) or Placebo (treatment that has no active medicine in it).

Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Male or female (sex at birth).
- Age 18 years or above at the time of signing informed consent.
- Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus more than equal to (≥) 180 days before screening.
- Treatment with lifestyle intervention, and/or 0-3 marketed oral antidiabetic drugs (OAD)s (metformin, α-glucosidase inhibitors (AGI), glinides, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), thiazolidinediones, or sulfonylureas (SU) as a single agent or in combination) according to local label. Treatment with oral antidiabetic drugs should be stable (same drug(s), dose and dosing frequency) before screening.
- Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 7-10% \[53-86 (millimoles per mole) mmol/mol\] (both inclusive) as measured by the central laboratory at screening.
Exclusion criteria
- Renal impairment with estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) less than (\<) 30 milliliter per minute per meter square (mL/min/1.73 m\^2) \[2021 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula\], at screening.
- Participant with diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy who received treatment with retinal photocoagulation, vitrectomy or anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (anti-VEGF) before screening or are expected to require treatment after screening. Diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy must be verified by an eye examination performed within 90 days before screening or in the period between screening and randomisation. Pharmacological pupil-dilation is a requirement unless using a digital fundus photography camera specified for non-dilated examination.
- Known hypoglycaemic unawareness as indicated by the investigator according to Clarke's questionnaire question 8.
- Recurrent severe hypoglycaemic episodes within the last year as judged by the investigator.
- Treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RA), dual GLP-1/gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) RAs (or any other GLP-1 based treatment), or amylin analogues before screening.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
