| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of pharmacological treatment with liraglutide 3 mg (Saxenda®) for bodyweight management in patients with diagnosed with severe mental illness and excess weight (BMI =27 kg/m2) who also have bodyweight related medical problems or with severe mental illness and obesity (BMI =30 kg/m2), admitted to a forensic psychiatry department. The primary endpoint is the number of patients completing the study defined as “completers”. ;Secondary Objective: Secondary endpoints include reason(s) for drop out, changes in body weight, glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), blood pressure, heart rate, fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) score and lipid profile. ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the number of “completers”. A “completer” is defined as a patient maintaining a present level of compliance with the clinical trial medication and completing full study duration (26 weeks).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 26 weeks | — |
