About this trial

The primary objective of this study is to determine the effects of semaglutide on change in albuminuria from baseline to 26 weeks in type 1 diabetes. The secondary objective is to determine the effects of semaglutide on change in kidney parameters (including kidney oxygenation and function) measured by MRI from baseline to 26 weeks in type 1 diabetes. Other objectives are to determine the glycemic effects and safety of semaglutide in type 1 diabetes.
