About this study
Official title: Long Term Comparative Effectiveness of Once Weekly Semaglutide Versus Standard of Care in a Real World Adult US Population With Type 2 Diabetes - a Randomized Pragmatic Clinical Trial
The main purpose of this study is to compare the effects of semaglutide (Ozempic®) with the effects of other treatments for type 2 diabetes in a normal practice setting. The participant will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to one of the following treatment groups: Group 1: semaglutide (Ozempic®) (by injection into skin) Group 2: standard of care antidiabetic medication (oral or injectable). The participant has an equal chance of being in either of the treatment groups. Neither the participant nor the study doctor or study staff will be able to pick which group the participant is in, but the participant will know which study drug the participant has been assigned to. The study doctor will provide the participant with a prescription for the study diabetes medication based on the treatment group the participant is assigned. The participation will last about 2 years.
- Conditions
- Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
- Being tested
- Semaglutide, Standard of care
- Medical subject headings
- Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
SemaglutideDrug
Participants will be prescribed commercially available semaglutide s.c. and will be instructed to initiate treatment with semaglutide s.c. according to the approved label. The study doctor will determine the intended maintenance dose of semaglutide, as well as changes to the maintenance dose thereafter.
Standard of careDrug
Participants will receive standard of care, defined as commercially available oral or injectable antidiabetic medication other than semaglutide. Participants will be prescribed and instructed to initiate commercially available antidiabetic medication according to the approved label and, if relevant for the specific antidiabetic medication, adjusted at the discretion of the study doctor.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide | Experimental | Participants will receive semaglutide subcutaneously (s.c.) in addition to metformin monotherapy as treatment intensification in the course of routine clinical practice. Participants will be followed for 2 years, regardless of changes in antidiabetic treatment over the course of the study. Receives: Drug: Semaglutide |
| Standard of care | Active comparator | Participants will receive standard of care in addition to metformin monotherapy as treatment intensification in the course of routine clinical practice. Participants will be followed for 2 years, regardless of changes in antidiabetic treatment over the course of the study. Receives: Drug: Standard of care |

Percentage of Medication Possession Ratio (MPR) for Study Drug Medication Adherence For The Two Years of The Study
Percentage of MPR for study drug medication adherence for the two years of the study is presented. Medication adherence referred to a participant's conformance to the provider's recommendation with respect to timing, dosage, and frequency of medication taken during the prescribed length of time. The MPR was used to assess adherence. MPR was calculated as follows: MPR (%) = Sum of days supply for all prescription fills*100/Total number of days in time period. MPR was capped at 100%. MPR was calculated from pharmacy claims data and irrespective of adherence to randomized treatment or changes to antidiabetic treatment.
Measured: Week 0 to year 2

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The main purpose of this study is to compare the effects of semaglutide (Ozempic®) with the effects of other treatments for type 2 diabetes in a normal practice setting. The participant will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to one of the following treatment groups: Group 1: semaglutide (Ozempic®) (by injection into skin) Group 2: standard of care antidiabetic medication (oral or injectable). The participant has an equal chance of being in either of the treatment groups. Neither the participant nor the study doctor or study staff will be able to pick which group the participant is in, but the participant will know which study drug the participant has been assigned to. The study doctor will provide the participant with a prescription for the study diabetes medication based on the treatment group the participant is assigned. The participation will last about 2 years.

Interventions
| Intervention | Type | Arms |
|---|---|---|
| SemaglutideParticipants will be prescribed commercially available semaglutide s.c. and will be instructed to initiate treatment with semaglutide s.c. according to the approved label. The study doctor will determine the intended maintenance dose of semaglutide, as well as changes to the maintenance dose thereafter. | Drug | Semaglutide |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Semaglutide in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 181 sites in 2 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 181 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Aug 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of Participants With Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) Less Than 7.0 Percentage (%) (53 Millimoles Per Mole [mmol/Mol]) at Year 1 (Yes/No) (time frame: At year 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03596450, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Sep 2026.
