Inclusion criteria

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) diagnosed for at least 1 year and treated with basal insulin for at least 6 months before screening visit (V1).
Patients who have been treated with a stable basal insulin regimen (ie, type of insulin and time/frequency of the injection), for at least 3 months before screening visit (V1).
Stable total daily basal insulin dose (±20 %) in the range of 10 and 25 U/day for at least 2 months before screening visit (V1). Total daily dose should be within the range of 10-25 U, both inclusive, on the day of screening, but individual fluctuations of ±20% within 2 months prior to screening are acceptable.
For patients receiving basal insulin AND 1 or 2 oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs): the OAD dose(s) must be stable during the 3 months prior to screening. The OAD(s) can be 1 to 2 out of:
Metformin (≥1500 mg/day or maximal tolerated dose).
Sulfonylurea (SU)/glinide.
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitor (alpha-GI).
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor.
Dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor.
Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≤160 mg/dL (8.9 mmol/L) at screening visit (V1) (can be repeated once to confirm).
Signed written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Age <18 years at screening visit (V1).
Screening glycated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c) <7.0% or >10.5%.
History of hypoglycemia unawareness.
History of metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis within one year prior to screening.
Use of oral or injectable glucose-lowering agents other than those stated in the inclusion criteria within 3 months prior to screening.
Previous use of insulin regimen other than basal insulin, eg, prandial or pre-mixed insulin, within one year prior to screening (Note: Short term treatment [≤10 days] due to intercurrent illness is allowed).
History of discontinuation of a previous treatment with glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) due to safety/tolerability reason or lack of efficacy.
Use of systemic glucocorticoids (excluding topical application or inhaled forms) for 1 week or more within 3 months prior to screening.
Use of weight loss drugs within 3 months prior to screening.
Use of any investigational drug within 1 month or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to screening.
Within 6 months prior to screening: history of myocardial infarction, stroke, or heart failure requiring hospitalization.
Planned coronary, carotid, or peripheral revascularization procedures to be performed during the study period.
Known history of drug or alcohol abuse within 6 months prior to screening.
Uncontrolled or inadequately controlled hypertension at the time of screening with a resting systolic blood pressure >180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >95 mmHg.
Laboratory findings at screening visit:
Amylase and/or lipase >3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) laboratory range.
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >3 ULN.
Total bilirubin >1.5 ULN (except in case of Gilbert's syndrome).
Calcitonin ≥20 pg/mL (5.9 pmol/L).
Hemoglobin <10.5 g/dL and/or neutrophils <1500/mm3 and/or platelets <100 000/mm3.
Positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and/or hepatitis C antibody (HCAb).
Positive urine pregnancy test in female of childbearing potential.
For patient not treated with metformin at screening: severe renal function impairment with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30 mL/min/1.73m2 or end-stage renal disease.
Clinically relevant history of gastrointestinal disease associated with prolonged nausea and vomiting, including (but not limited to): gastroparesis, unstable (ie, worsening) or not controlled (ie, prolonged nausea and vomiting) gastroesophageal reflux disease requiring medical treatment, within 6 months prior to the time of screening visit; or history of surgery affecting gastric emptying.
History of pancreatitis (unless pancreatitis was related to gallstones and cholecystectomy has been performed), pancreatitis during previous treatment with incretin therapies, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatectomy.
Personal or immediate family history of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) or genetic conditions that predispose to MTC (eg, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes).
Mean fasting self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) is >160 mg/dL (8.9 mmol/L), calculated from all available (minimum of 4 self-measurements) values during the 7 days prior to randomization.
