Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • 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.

    Week 0, week 56

  • Proportion of Subjects Losing at Least 5% of Baseline Body Weight at Week 56

    The 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.

    Week 56

Secondary Outcomes (49)

  • Proportion of Subjects Losing More Than 10% of Baseline Body Weight at Week 56

    Week 56

  • Proportion of Subjects Losing More Than 15% of Baseline Body Weight at Week 56

    Week 56

  • Proportion of Subjects Losing 4% or More of Baseline Body Weight

    Week 16

  • Change in Waist Circumference (cm)

    Week 0, week 56

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