Primary outcomePrimary: Proportion of Adults With T1D Achieving Composite Outcome (CGM-measured Time in Range (TIR)>70% With Time Below Range (TBR) of <4% and Reduction in Body Weight by 5%) at 26 Weeks in the Semaglutide Group Compared to Placebo Group — 13; 0 Participants
Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the use of once weekly semaglutide injection in inadequately controlled obese adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using FDA-approved hybrid closed-loop therapies.
