What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Body Mass Index (BMI) Standard Deviation Score (SDS) From Baseline to 16 Weeks

    Change in BMI SDS from baseline to week 16 is presented. BMI SDS also called Z-scores, was calculated using the following formula: Z=[(y / M)^L - 1] / S*L; where L, M and S are median (M), Box-cox power (L) and variation coefficient (S) of children/adolescents', y= individual BMI. BMI provided for each sex and age. For each participant, a standard deviation score Z (SDS) was calculated based on age and sex referring to the values L, M and S. Possible values range from -3 to +3, a negative score being beneficial.

    Measured: Week 0, Week 16

  2. Change in Body Mass Index (BMI) Standard Deviation Score (SDS) From Baseline to 52 Weeks

BMI provided for each sex and age. For each participant, a standard deviation score Z (SDS) was calculated based on age and sex referring to the values L, M and S.

  95. Number of Participants With Change in Pubertal Status From Baseline at Week 16

    This outcome measure presents "pubertal status results" which is based on Tanner staging recorded at baseline (week 0), week 16. Tanner Stages is a scale that defines physical measurements of development based on external primary and secondary sex characteristics. It was used in this study to assess pubertal development with values ranging from Stage 1 (pre-pubertal characteristics) to Stage 5 (adult or mature characteristics). Results are presented for the following categories: 1) For female: breast development and pubic hair development, 2) For male: penis development and pubic hair development. Each category shows number of participants in stages 1 to 5, where stage 1 represents "early pubertal development" and stage 5 represents "pubertal development equivalent to that of an adult".

  101. Part A: Number of Participants With Change in Columbia Suicidality Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) at Week 16

    C-SSRS (mapped to Columbia Classification Algorithm of Suicide Assessment [C-CASA]) is an interview-based rating scale to systematically assess suicidality, suicidal behaviour, suicidal ideation. Suicidality: emergence of any suicidal ideation or suicidal behaviour. Suicidal behaviour: when response is "yes" for any of the questions- actual attempt to suicide, engaged in non-suicidal self-injurious behaviour, interrupted attempt, aborted attempt, preparatory acts. Suicidal ideation: when response is "yes" for any of the questions- wish to be dead, non-specific active suicidal thoughts, active suicidal ideation with methods without intent to act or some intent to act, without specific plan or with specific plan and intent to suicide. This outcome measure presents number of participants with "suicidal ideation or suicidal behaviour on C-SSRS" assessed at baseline (week 0), week 16. The questionnaire was not used in Part B due to the young age of the participants in Part B.

  103. Part A: Change in Patient Reported Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) From Baseline at Week 16

    Change in Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) was evaluated from baseline (week 0) to weeks 16. The PHQ-9 questionnaire is a 9-item depression module included in the patient health questionnaire, a self-administered diagnostic tool used for assessment of mental disorders. The PHQ-9 total score ranges from 0-27; total scores of 1-4 represent no depression, total scores of 5-9 represent mild depression, total scores of 10-14 represent moderate depression, total scores of 15-19 represent moderately severe depression and total scores of 20-27 represent severe depression. The questionnaire was not used in Part B due to the young age of the participants in Part B.

    Measured: Week 0, week 16

  104. Part A: Change in Patient Reported Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) From Baseline at Week 52

    Change in Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) was evaluated from baseline (week 0) to weeks 52. The PHQ-9 questionnaire is a 9-item depression module included in the patient health questionnaire, a self-administered diagnostic tool used for assessment of mental disorders. The PHQ-9 total score ranges from 0-27; total scores of 1-4 represent no depression, total scores of 5-9 represent mild depression, total scores of 10-14 represent moderate depression, total scores of 15-19 represent moderately severe depression and total scores of 20-27 represent severe depression. The questionnaire was not used in Part B due to the young age of the participants in Part B.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing liraglutide in people with Metabolism and Nutrition Disorder and Obesity, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 32 sites in 8 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 32 sites in France, United States, Turkey (Türkiye), Italy, Australia and 3 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Feb 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Body Mass Index (BMI) Standard Deviation Score (SDS) From Baseline to 16 Weeks (time frame: Week 0, Week 16). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02527200, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Jul 2023.
