About

This study will compare four different semaglutide versions and different injection tools. The study aims to show similar levels of semaglutide in the blood using different versions of semaglutide. The researchers also want to look at how well the injection tools work. Participants will get two versions of semaglutide at two separate dosing visits. One of them is a version that doctors already can prescribe and the other will be one of the new versions. Which version participants get first is decided by chance. Participants will get semaglutide as an injection under the skin. The time between injections is 7 to 8 weeks. The study will last for about 16 weeks. Participants will have 27 study visits with the study doctor. For two of the visits, participants will stay at the clinic for 4 days and 3 nights.
