Overview
The study is testing UBT251 in participants with type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this clinical study is to find out if UBT251 is effective and safe for treating participants with type 2 diabetes. Participants will either get UBT251, UBT251 placebo, semaglutide, or semaglutide placebo. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. UBT251 is the treatment being tested and is not yet available for doctors to prescribe, while semaglutide is a medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes that doctors can already prescribe.
