Brief summary

This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, North America and South America. The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the potential of liraglutide to induce and maintain weight loss over 56 weeks in obese subjects or overweight subjects with co-morbidities. Furthermore, the aim is to investigate the long term potential of liraglutide to delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in subjects diagnosed with pre-diabetes at baseline. Based on body mass index (BMI) and pre-diabetes status, subjects will be randomised to either 68 weeks (56 weeks of randomised treatment followed by a 12 week re-randomised treatment period) or 160 weeks of treatment (160 week treatment will only be applicable to subjects with pre-diabetes status at baseline).

Interventions

DRUGliraglutide

Subject with no pre-diabetes at screening, receiving liraglutide 3.0 mg subcutaneous (under the skin) injection once daily for 56 weeks. Subjects completing 56 weeks are re-randomised to receive liraglutide 3.0 mg for 12 weeks (until week 68).

DRUGplacebo

Subject with no pre-diabetes at screening, receiving liraglutide 3.0 mg subcutaneous (under the skin) injection once daily for 56 weeks. Subjects completing 56 weeks are re-randomised to receive liraglutide placebo for 12 weeks (until week 68).

Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in Fasting Body Weight

The observed mean change from baseline in fasting body weight (%) after 56-weeks of treatment (main treatment period).

Time frame: Week 0, Week 56

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) included all randomised subjects who were exposed to at least one dose of trial product (liraglutide 3.0 mg or liraglutide placebo) and who provided at least one post-baseline efficacy value. Missing data were imputed using last observation carried forward (LOCF).

ArmMeasureValue (MEAN)Dispersion

Liraglutide Placebo (56-Week)Change From Baseline in Fasting Body Weight-2.62 percent changeStandard Deviation 5.74
Comparison: Null-hypothesis: no treatment difference between treatment arms, i.e. liraglutide 3.0 mg and liraglutide placebo. Liraglutide 3.0 mg was considered superior to placebo in inducing and maintaining weight loss, if the estimated treatment effect (liraglutide 3.0 mg - liraglutide placebo) was statistically significantly smaller than zero.p-value: <0.000195% CI: [-5.82, -4.95]ANCOVA

Subjects included in FAS, who were stratified to 160-weeks of treatment (i.e., excluding 37 subjects with pre-diabetes who entered the re-randomised period and including 6 subjects without pre-diabetes incorrectly stratified to the 160-week treatment period).

Time frame: At 160 weeks

Population: Subjects included in the FAS, who were stratified to 160-weeks of treatment; all randomised subjects who were exposed to at least one dose of trial product (liraglutide 3.0 mg or liraglutide placebo) and with at least one post-baseline efficacy measurement, who were stratified to 160-weeks of treatment. Missing data were imputed using LOCF.
