The change in weight between randomization and COVID-19 infection in participants who died of their infections was 6.4 kg (14.1 pounds) in the semaglutide group, compared with 0.9 kg (2 pounds) in the placebo group and 8.4 kg (18.5 pounds) vs 1.25 kg (2.8 pounds), respectively, in participants who survived
