Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Body Weight (%)Week 0, week 56Observed mean change in body weight from baseline (week 0) to week 56 was evaluated for two different observation periods. In-trial observation period: the uninterrupted time interval from the date of randomisation until and including the date of the follow-up visit or date of last contact. On-drug observation period: includes all time intervals in which subjects are considered to be on treatment from the date of first trial product administration to 7 days (or 14 days for AEs) after the final trial product administration, excluding potential off-treatment time intervals triggered by at least 7 consecutive missed doses (or 14 consecutive missed doses for AEs). The test of superiority of liraglutide to placebo for the treatment policy estimand was tested in a hierarchical manner for the two primary and the consequent 7 confirmatory secondary endpoints presented.
Proportion of Subjects Losing at Least 5% of Baseline Body Weight at Week 56Week 56The estimated mean percentage of subjects losing at least 5% of baseline body weight at week 56 is presented. The endpoint was evaluated based on in-trial data and on-drug data.

SF-36v2™ questionnaire measured the HRQoL on 8 domains on individual scale ranges. The scores 0-100 (where higher scores indicated a better HRQoL) from the SF-36 were converted to norm-based scores to enable a direct interpretation in relation to the distribution of the scores in the 2009 U.S. general population. A norm-based score of 50 corresponds to the mean score and 10 corresponds to the standard deviation of the 2009 U.S. general population. Change from baseline in SF-36 physical functioning score is presented. A positive change score indicates an improvement since baseline. The endpoint was evaluated based on in-trial data and on-drug data.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Liraglutide 3.0 mg
Subjects received liraglutide 3.0 mg once daily by subcutaneous injection (in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm) irrespective of the timing of meals. Subjects received 0.6 mg liraglutide during the first week. The dose was escalated in weekly increments of 0.6 mg until they reached a maintenance dose of 3.0 mg after 4 weeks. The treatment period was 56 weeks. Subjects were also on CMS-IBT during the trial.
142
Placebo
Subjects received matching placebo once daily by subcutaneous injection (in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm) irrespective of the timing of meals. Dose escalation for placebo matched that of liraglutide. Subjects remained on a stable dose of placebo for 56 weeks. Subjects were also on CMS-IBT during the trial.

Change in Body Weight (%)

Observed mean change in body weight from baseline (week 0) to week 56 was evaluated for two different observation periods. In-trial observation period: the uninterrupted time interval from the date of randomisation until and including the date of the follow-up visit or date of last contact. On-drug observation period: includes all time intervals in which subjects are considered to be on treatment from the date of first trial product administration to 7 days (or 14 days for AEs) after the final trial product administration, excluding potential off-treatment time intervals triggered by at least 7 consecutive missed doses (or 14 consecutive missed doses for AEs). The test of superiority of liraglutide to placebo for the treatment policy estimand was tested in a hierarchical manner for the two primary and the consequent 7 confirmatory secondary endpoints presented.

Change in Short Form-36 (SF-36) v2.0 Acute, Physical Functioning Score

SF-36 is a 36-item patient-reported survey of patient health that measures the subject's overall health-related quality of life (HRQoL). SF-36v2™ questionnaire measured the HRQoL on 8 domains on individual scale ranges. The scores 0-100 (where higher scores indicated a better HRQoL) from the SF-36 were converted to norm-based scores to enable a direct interpretation in relation to the distribution of the scores in the 2009 U.S. general population. A norm-based score of 50 corresponds to the mean score and 10 corresponds to the standard deviation of the 2009 U.S. general population. Change from baseline in SF-36 physical functioning score is presented. A positive change score indicates an improvement since baseline. The endpoint was evaluated based on in-trial data and on-drug data.
