Conditions

Registration Number
NCT05567796
Lead Sponsor
Novo Nordisk A/S
Brief Summary

This study has 2 parts: First part is the main study and second part is the extension study. During the main study participants will receive 1 of 4 study medicines. If participants continue in the extension study, they will not receive any study medicine during the extension. The main study will look at how well CagriSema helps participants with excess body weight lose weight compared to a "dummy" medicine and 2 other medicines, cagrilintide and semaglutide. Participants will either get CagriSema, cagrilintide,semaglutide or "dummy" medicine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. They will take one injection once a week. The study medicine is injected briefly with a thin needle, typically in the stomach, thighs or upper arms.

Extension study: After the main study, not all participants will continue in the extension study. The study staff will tell the participant if they will continue or not into the extension study. In the extension study we will look at what happens to the participant's body weight and diseases related to excess body weight after the participant stops taking the study medicine. The main study will last for about 1½ years and the extension study will last for another 2 years.

Change in Control of Eating (COEQ): Craving Control ScoreFrom baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 68)

Measured as score points. CoEQ is a 19-item multidimensional patient-reported outcome (PRO) that assesses the experience of hunger, satiety, and severity and type of food cravings. CoEQ consists of 4 subscales that measure craving control (5 items), positive mood (4 items), craving for sweet (4 items), and craving for savoury food (4 items), and 2 single items that address hunger and satiety. Each item is evaluated on a 0-10 (i.e., 11-point) numeric rating scale. The total score for each subscale is calculated as the sum of the item scores divided by the number of items in the subscale. Scores ranges are thus: Craving Control 0-50/5 = 0-10); Positive Mood (0-40/4 = 0-10); Craving Sweet (0-40/4 = 0-10); Craving Savoury food (0-40/4 = 0-10); single items that address hunger and satiety (0-10).
