    NCT02860923

    11 Jan 2017 to 30 Sept 2018

Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

This hypothalamic obesity is associated with serious metabolic and psychosocial consequences. The purpose of the study is to compare the change of body weight after 6 months treatment with a lifestyle intervention + exenatide compare to the one after the same lifestyle intervention+ placebo in adults patients suffering from a hypothalamic obesity due to treatment of craniopharyngioma.

Interventions

  • ExenatideDrug
  • PlaceboDrug

Arms2

  • Experimental

    Exenatide

    Treatment with exenatide at the initial dose of 5 µg x 2/day (subcutaneously administered) during 4 weeks, and treatment with 10 µg x 2/day during 5 months.

  • Placebo comparator

    Placebo

    Patients will be maintained on placebo (injected subcutaneously, twice a day) with the same dose and frequency than exenatide arm.

Primary outcomes1
