Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Compare the change of body weight at month 6 after a lifestyle intervention + exenatide compare to the one after the same lifestyle intervention+ placebo in adults patients suffering from a hypothalamic obesity due to treatment of craniopharyngioma.; Secondary Objective: - Compare treatment tolerance in booth groups - Assess exenatid efficacy compare to placebo on: * metabolic and cardiovascular risks factors * glycemia control * eating behaviour * quality of life * energy expenditure ;Primary end point(s): Weight variation.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At 6 months after inclusion.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Tolerance assessment, - Evolution of : *metabolic and cardiovascular risks factors * glycemia control * eating behaviour * quality of life * energy expenditure ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - after each visit and at the end of the trial, - at the inclusion visit and at the last visit
