Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 20 to < 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 determined at the screening visit or a documented occurrence in medical history at least 3 months prior to randomisation.

• Receiving background standard of care treatment for renal disease and/or T2DM and being treated according to locally recognised guidelines, as appropriate.

• Receiving optimised and stable treatment with an angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or an angiotensin II receptor antagonist for ≥ 3 months at screening at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) unless contraindicated, not tolerated, or in the opinion of the investigator, not practically available or suitable.

• Micro- or macroalbuminuria as defined by UACR > 50 mg/g or 5.7 mg/mmol.

• Diagnosed with T2DM with glucose control managed with any insulin and/or any oral therapy combination including metformin, SGLT2 inhibitor, thiazolidinedione, or acarbose where no major dose changes (eg, > 50% increase in dose) have occurred within the 4 weeks prior to the start of the run-in period. Participants taking sulfonylureas or glitinides may be randomised following a 4-week washout period of the sulfonylurea/glitinide.

• Haemoglobin A1c range of 6.5 % to 12.5% (inclusive) at screening

• Body mass index > 25 kg/m2 at screening or > 23 kg/m2 for participants enrolled in Japan

Exclusion Criteria:

• History or presence of significant medical or psychological conditions, including significant abnormalities in laboratory parameters or vital signs including ECG, which in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the participant's safety or successful participation in the study.

• Receiving renal replacement therapy or expected to require it within 6 months of being randomised

• Renal transplant or on the waiting list for renal transplantation

• Received a GLP-1 analogue-containing preparation within the last 30 days or 5 half-lives of the drug, if known (whichever is longer), at the time of Visit 2

• Received any of the following medications within the specified time frame prior to the start of the study (Visit 2):

1. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) at a dose greater than 150 mg once daily and within the last 3 days prior to the start of the run-in period (Visit 2)

2. Paracetamol (acetaminophen) or paracetamol-containing preparations at a total daily dose of greater than 3000 mg and within the last 3 days prior to the start of the run-in period (Visit 2)

3. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) supplements at a total daily dose of greater than 1000 mg and within the last 3 days prior to the start of the run-in period (Visit 2)

• Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product administered in the last 30 days or 5 half-lives of the drug, if known (whichever is longer)

• Participants with a known severe allergy/hypersensitivity to any of the proposed study interventions or excipients of the product

• Symptoms of acutely decompensated blood glucose control (eg, thirst, polyuria, weight loss) or recent episodes of severe hypoglycaemia

• Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), history of diabetic ketoacidosis, or clinical suspicion of T1DM

• Participants with recent acute or subacute renal function deterioration

• Significant inflammatory bowel disease, gastroparesis, or other severe disease or surgery affecting the upper gastrointestinal tract (including weight-reducing surgery and procedures) which may affect gastric emptying or could affect the interpretation of safety and tolerability data

• History of acute or chronic pancreatitis

• Significant hepatic disease (except for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease without portal hypertension or cirrhosis) and/or participants with any of the following results:

1. Aspartate transaminase (AST) ≥ 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN)

2. Alanine transaminase (ALT) ≥ 3 × ULN

3. Total bilirubin ≥ 2 × ULN

• Poorly controlled hypertension defined as:

1. Systolic BP > 180 mm Hg

2. Diastolic BP ≥ 90 mm Hg after 10 minutes of seated rest and confirmed by repeated measurement at screening. Participants who fail BP screening criteria may be considered for 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring at the discretion of the investigator. Participants who maintain a mean 24-hour systolic BP ≤ 180 or diastolic BP < 90 mm Hg with a preserved nocturnal dip of > 15% will be considered eligible

• Unstable angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack or stroke within 3 months prior to screening, or participants who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention or a coronary artery bypass graft within the past 6 months or who are due to undergo these procedures at the time of screening

• Decompensated heart failure or hospitalisation for heart failure in the 3 months prior to screening or symptoms consistent with New York Heart Association heart failure Class III/IV

• Basal calcitonin level > 50 ng/L at screening or history/family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia

• History of neoplastic disease within 5 years prior to screening, except for adequately treated basal cell skin cancer, squamous cell skin cancer, or in situ cervical cancer
