Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Response rate of weight loss at week 24 after enrollment24 weeks

Calculation formula:Weight loss response rate = Number of subjects with ≥5% weight loss percentage from baseline/total number of subjects ×100%.

Weight loss percentage from baseline at Week 2424 weeks

Calculation formula:Weight loss percentage from baseline = (weight at Week 24 after enrollment of subject - baseline weight) / baseline weight×100%
