Summary
This study will look at how the emptying of the participant's stomach after a meal is
affected by semaglutide (a new medicine) compared to a "dummy" medicine. In addition, the
study will also look at the effect of semaglutide on the participant's appetite and energy
intake. Participants will either get semaglutide or "dummy" medicine - which treatment any
participant gets is decided by chance. Participants will take 1 injection per week. The study
medicine is injected with a thin needle in the stomach, thigh or upper arm. The study will
last for about 27 weeks (from first treatment to last check-up). Participants will have 8
visits at the clinic with the study doctor.
