Inclusion: Informed consent of parent(s) or legally acceptable representative (LAR) of participant and child assent, as age-appropriate, obtained before any study-related activities. Study-related activities are any procedures that are carried out as part of the study, including activities to determine suitability for the study; The parent(s) or LAR of the child must sign and date the Informed Consent Form (according to local requirements); The child must sign and date the Child Assent Form or provide oral assent (according to local requirements); Male or female; Age 10 to < 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent; Diagnosed with T2D (according to the latest International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes [ISPAD] criteria) ≥ 30 days before screening; Treated with diet and exercise counselling alone or with a stable daily dose(a), in addition to diet and exercise counselling, of any of the following antidiabetic drugs or combination regimens:; Insulin (any regimen); Metformin; SGLT2i; HbA1c 6.5%-11.0% (48 mmol/mol - 97 mmol/mol) (both inclusive) as determined by central laboratory at screening; Body weight ≥ 45 kg and BMI ≥ 85th percentile(b). BMI will be calculated in the electronic case report form based on height and body weight at screening; (a) For metformin, a stable dose is defined as at least 1000 mg daily or the maximum tolerated dose for ≥ 56 days prior to screening. For Sodium-Glucose Transport protein 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), a stable dose is defined as the same total daily dose for ≥ 56 days prior to screening. For insulin, it is defined as the dose ± 25% of that taken at screening for ≥ 30 days prior to screening; (b) Based on sex-specific BMI-for-age percentiles for the given country or region. If not available for the country or region, the respective charts or tables on cdc.gov may be used.

Verified by a fundus examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT) assessment performed within 90 days before screening or in the period between screening and randomisation. Pharmacological pupil-dilation is a requirement unless using a digital fundus photography camera specified for non-dilated examination; Positive insulinoma associated-protein 2 (IA-2) antibodies or anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (anti-GAD) antibodies as determined by central laboratory at screening or in medical history; Female who is pregnant, breast-feeding or intends to become pregnant or is of childbearing potential and not using a highly effective contraceptive method; Recurrent severe hypoglycaemic episodes within the last year as judged by the investigator; Known hypoglycaemic unawareness as indicated by the investigator according to Clarke's questionnaire question 8.
