Summary

This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira) and insulin degludec (IDeg) in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Subjects continue their pre-trial treatment with metformin throughout the entire trial.
