结局指标

主要结局

Average Daily Caloric Intake Over the Course of the 8-week Double-blind Phase

时间窗: 8 weeks

The Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR) was used to determine nutrient and caloric value for foods and beverages consumed and recorded by subjects over a 3-day assessment period prior to each visit. Total number of calories consumed during each 3-day assessment was averaged over available values to determine the week's daily caloric intake value.

次要结局

  • Change in Appetite Over the 8-week Double-blind Phase as Measured by a VAS Appetite Scale(Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8)
  • Change in Weight Over the Course of the 8-week Double-blind Phase(Baseline, Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8)
  • Changes in Body Composition as Measured by Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) at Week 4 and Week 8 Relative to Baseline(Baseline, Week 4 and Week 8)
