5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study will look at the change in participant's body weight from the start to the end of the study. This is to compare the effect on body weight in people taking semaglutide (a new medicine) and people taking "dummy" medicine. Together with the medicine, the participant will also be part of an intensive lifestyle program where the participant will have talks with study staff about healthy food choices, what the participant can do to lose weight and be more physically active. The participant will either get semaglutide or "dummy" medicine - which treatment the participant gets is decided by chance. The participant will need to take 1 injection once a week. The study medicine is injected with a thin needle in a skin fold in the stomach, thigh or upper arm. For the first 2 months the participant will be on a low calorie diet. The diet is made up of bars, shakes and 1 low calorie pre-prepared meal for each day. The study will last for about 1.5 years. The participant will have 32 clinic visits with the study doctor.

Title
Participants Who Achieve (Yes/no): Responder Definition Value for SF-36 Physical Functioning Score
Description
The observed number of participants experiencing a meaningful within participant improvement in SF-36 Physical function after 68 weeks was determined based on two thresholds. The threshold of 4.3 is the default generic responder threshold defined in SF-36 manual for a general population. The threshold of 3.7 is specific for overweight or obese population included in the study and calculated using patient global rating anchor questionnaires to reflect participants' own perspective based on Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendations. In the reported data, "Yes" infers number of participants who have achieved an improvement in score greater than or equal to the threshold and "No" infers number of participants who have not achieved an improvement in score greater than or equal to the threshold. The endpoint was evaluated based on the in-trial observation period which is uninterrupted time interval from randomization (week 0) to last trial related subject-site contact (week 75).
