- Conditions
- Obesity
- Interventions
- Drug: Phentermine/TopiramateDrug: 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).

Group Intervention Description Other anti-obesity medication Phentermine/Topiramate Participants will receive one of 4 commercially available anti-obesity medication chosen by the study doctor for 52 weeks as adjuncts to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management. The 4 anti-obesity medications are orlistat per os \[by mouth\] (p.o.), phentermine/topiramate extended release p.o., naltrexone/bupropion extended release p.o. or liraglutide 3.0 mg s.c injection. Other anti-obesity medication Naltrexone/Bupropion Participants will receive one of 4 commercially available anti-obesity medication chosen by the study doctor for 52 weeks as adjuncts to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management. The 4 anti-obesity medications are orlistat per os \[by mouth\] (p.o.), phentermine/topiramate extended release p.o., naltrexone/bupropion extended release p.o. or liraglutide 3.0 mg s.c injection. Semaglutide Semaglutide Participants will receive semaglutide 2.4 milligrams (mg) subcutaneous (s.c.) injection once weekly for 52 weeks as adjuncts to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management. Other anti-obesity medication Orlistat Participants will receive one of 4 commercially available anti-obesity medication chosen by the study doctor for 52 weeks as adjuncts to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management. The 4 anti-obesity medications are orlistat per os \[by mouth\] (p.o.), phentermine/topiramate extended release p.o., naltrexone/bupropion extended release p.o. or liraglutide 3.0 mg s.c injection. Other anti-obesity medication Liraglutide Participants will receive one of 4 commercially available anti-obesity medication chosen by the study doctor for 52 weeks as adjuncts to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management. The 4 anti-obesity medications are orlistat per os \[by mouth\] (p.o.), phentermine/topiramate extended release p.o., naltrexone/bupropion extended release p.o. or liraglutide 3.0 mg s.c injection.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants Who Achieve Body Weight Reduction Greater Than Equal To (≥) 10.0 Percentage (%) (Yes/No) At week 52 Measured as count of participants.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants Who Achieve Body Weight Reduction ≥ 15.0% (Yes/No) At week 52 Measured as count of participants.
Change in Work Limitations Questionnaire 25-item Version (WLQ-25), Total Score Week 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 Weight Week 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 Domain Week 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.
Number of Participants Who Achieve Body Weight Reduction ≥ 20.0% (Yes/No) At week 52 Measured as count of participants.
Number of Participants Who Achieve Change in IWQOL-Lite For CT Physical Function Domain Score Greater Than (>) 14.6 (Yes/No) At week 52 Measured as count of participants.
Proportion of Days Covered (PDC) by Study Product Week 0 to week 52 Measured in percentage.
Number of Participants Who Are Covered by Study Product ≥ 80% of Days (Yes/No) At week 52 Measured as count of participants.
