Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Obesity
Interventions
Drug: Phentermine/Topiramate
Drug: Naltrexone/Bupropion
Registration Number
NCT05579249
Lead Sponsor
Novo Nordisk A/S
Brief Summary

The purpose of this post approval pragmatic clinical study is to see how well semaglutide lowers body weight compared to other medication on the market used to treat obesity, across three US-based employers. These employers represent employees of diverse demography and job functions including hospitality, clerical, administrative, housekeeping, maintenance, and specialised employees across a range of socioeconomic and educational backgrounds. The study will also look at how weight loss affects physical functioning, quality of life and ability to work. It will also gather information on how satisfied participants are with the medication they take. Participants will either receive semaglutide or one of 4 approved anti-obesity medication (Xenical/Qsymia/Contrave/Saxenda).

Change in Work Limitations Questionnaire 25-item Version (WLQ-25), Total ScoreWeek 0 to week 52

The Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ-25), version 2.1, is a 25-item questionnaire that measures the degree to which health problems interfere with specific aspects of job performance and the productivity impact of these work limitations during the past 2 weeks using a 5-point Likert scale response option. It is a self-administrated questionnaire consisting of 4 domains of work limitation: Time Management (5), Physical Demands (6), Mental/Interpersonal (9), Output Demands (5). The responses are used to calculate a total WLQ index score. Lower scores indicate less work limitation. Measured as score.

Change in Body WeightWeek 0 to week 52

Measured in percentage.

Change in Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite For Clinical Trials (IWQOL-Lite-CT) Physical Function DomainWeek 0 to week 52

IWQOL-Lite-CT is a 20-item patient reported outcome instrument used to assess the impact of body weight changes on patients' physical and psychosocial functioning in three composite scores (physical function, physical and psychosocial) and a total score. The possible score range for physical function score is 0 to 100. Higher values on physical function score of the IWQOL-Lite-CT indicate improved patient functioning. Measured as score.
