Arms & Interventions
Double-Blind: JNJ-64565111 Dose Level 1
Participants will receive a JNJ-64565111 Dose Level 1 subcutaneously (SC) once-weekly for 26-week treatment phase.
Intervention: JNJ-64565111 Dose Level 1
Double-Blind: JNJ-64565111 Dose Level 2
Participants will receive a JNJ-64565111 Dose Level 2 SC once-weekly for 26-week treatment phase.
Intervention: JNJ-64565111 Dose Level 2
Double-Blind: JNJ-64565111 Dose Level 3
Participants will receive a JNJ-64565111 Dose Level 3 SC once-weekly for 26-week treatment phase.
Intervention: JNJ-64565111 Dose Level 3
Double-Blind: Placebo
Participants will receive placebo matching to JNJ-64565111 SC once-weekly for 26-week treatment phase.
Intervention: Placebo
Open-Label: 3.0 milligram (mg) Liraglutide
Participant will receive once-daily doses of 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4, or 3.0 mg. The participants will receive liraglutide at a starting dose of 0.6 mg SC once-daily on Day 1. Participants will be instructed to increase the dose of liraglutide by 0.6 mg dose increment every 7 days, up to the full dosage of 3.0 mg by Week 5. Participants will then continue on the 3.0 mg once-daily dosage until Week 26.
Intervention: Liraglutide
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percent Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 26
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26
Percent change in body weight in kilograms (kg) from baseline to Week 26 was reported.
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Time Frame: Up to Week 30
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product, whether or not related to that medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. A TEAE was defined as an AE with an onset after the initiation study drug and before the last study drug date of the double-blind (26-week) treatment phase for plus 28 days for liraglutide participants, and plus 35 days for JNJ-64565111 and placebo participants.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 26(Baseline, Week 26)
- Number of Participants With Greater Than or Equal to (>=) 5 Percent (%) Body Weight Loss at Week 26(Week 26)
- Number of Participants With Greater Than or Equal to 10 % Body Weight Loss at Week 26(Week 26)
