Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Relative Change in Body Weight (%)
Time Frame: Week 0, Week 52
Relative change from baseline (week 0) in body weight was evaluated at week 52. Analysis of in-trial data with missing observations imputed from the pooled placebo arms based on a jump to reference multiple (x1000) imputation (J2R-MI) approach. Week 52 responses were analysed using an analysis of covariance model with treatment, region and sex as factors and baseline body weight as covariate. In-trial observation period was defined as the period from randomisation to last contact with trial site.
