Registry summary

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

A two year, parallel, two group, open-label, real-world randomised controlled trial (RCT) design for subjects with severe and complex obesity who are referred to a Tier 3 or equivalent specialist weight management/obesity service. Participants will be randomised to receive 1) standard care (obesity-specialist care), or 2) targeted prescribing pathway (obesity-specialist care plus targeted use of Liraglutide 3.0mg \[LIRA 3mg\] with pre-specified stopping rules for the medication). The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness, budget impact, and cost-effectiveness between the two groups in a real-world setting among otherwise largely unselected patients.

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Weight Loss of ≥15% From Baseline (Complete Cases)

    Time frame · 52 weeks

    Registry description

    Proportion of participants with severe and complicated obesity achieving weight loss of ≥15% at 52 weeks with the use of a targeted prescribing pathway (i.e. use of LIRA 3mg according to a pre-specified protocol in combination with standard care provided in Tier 3 services) versus standard care alone in a Tier 3 service.

  2. Weight Loss of ≥15% From Baseline (Intention to Treat)

    Time frame · 52 weeks

    Registry description

    Proportion of participants with severe and complicated obesity achieving weight loss of ≥15% at 52 weeks with the use of a targeted prescribing pathway (i.e. use of LIRA 3mg according to a pre-specified protocol in combination with standard care provided in Tier 3 services) versus standard care alone in a Tier 3 service.

  3. Weight Loss of ≥15% From Baseline (Per Protocol)

    Time frame · 52 weeks

    Registry description

    Proportion of participants with severe and complicated obesity achieving weight loss of ≥15% at 52 weeks with the use of a targeted prescribing pathway (i.e. use of LIRA 3mg according to a pre-specified protocol in combination with standard care provided in Tier 3 services) versus standard care alone in a Tier 3 service.

  4. Weight Loss of ≥15% From Baseline (Per Protocol Without Excluded Concomitant Medications)

    Time frame · 52 weeks

    Registry description

    Proportion of participants with severe and complicated obesity achieving weight loss of ≥15% at 52 weeks with the use of a targeted prescribing pathway (i.e. use of LIRA 3mg according to a pre-specified protocol in combination with standard care provided in Tier 3 services) versus standard care alone in a Tier 3 service.

Secondary outcomes(20)
  1. Participant Attendance at Appointments (Intention to Treat)

    Time frame · 52 weeks

    Registry description

    Attended at least 70% of scheduled Tier 3 appointments by 52 weeks

  2. Participant Attendance at Appointments (Intention to Treat)

    Time frame · 104 weeks

    Registry description

    Attended at least 70% of scheduled Tier 3 appointments by 104 weeks

  3. Cessation of Treatment Due to Adverse Effects (Intention to Treat)

    Time frame · 52 weeks

    Registry description

    Derived binary indicator showing whether participant stopped treatment with liraglutide 3mg by 52 weeks because of adverse effects (i.e., the main reason for stopping was listed as 'adverse event' or 'unable to tolerate drug'). This number does not include people who stopped treatment due to a stopping rule or reason other than an adverse effect. Only defined for participants who were currently eligible for liraglutide 3mg treatment. Participants may have stopped treatment due to adverse effects at an earlier timepoint and so the total number of 'yes' and 'no' responses is higher than the number eligible for liraglutide 3mg at the analysis time-point, i.e. if a participant stopped at week 16 due to adverse events then they would still be included in the 'yes' response.

  4. Cessation of Treatment Due to Adverse Effects (Intention to Treat)

    Time frame · 104 weeks

    Registry description

    Derived binary indicator showing whether participant stopped treatment with liraglutide 3mg by 104 weeks because of adverse effects (i.e., the main reason for stopping was listed as 'adverse event' or 'unable to tolerate drug'). This number does not include people who stopped treatment due to a stopping rule or reason other than an adverse effect. Only defined for participants who were currently eligible for liraglutide 3mg treatment. Participants may have stopped treatment due to adverse effects at an earlier timepoint and so the total number of 'yes' and 'no' responses is higher than the number eligible for liraglutide 3mg at the analysis time-point, i.e. if a participant stopped at week 16 due to adverse events then they would still be included in the 'yes' response.

  5. Participant Compliance With Treatment (Intention to Treat)

    Time frame · 52 weeks

    Registry description

    Derived binary indicator showing whether participant was compliant with liraglutide 3mg treatment up to 52 weeks. This was defined using the questionnaire answers as detailed in Appendix 7 of the SAP, and so includes all participants (i.e., not only those who attended the visit) up to the point when they stopped treatment or withdrew from the study.

  10. Completion of Tier 3 Despite Liraglutide Cessation by 16 Weeks (Intention to Treat)

    Time frame · 52 weeks

    Registry description

    Derived binary indicator showing whether participant completed 52 weeks of the Tier 3 service programme despite stopping liraglutide 3mg at 16 weeks (due to stopping rules or other reason). Only defined for participants who stopped liraglutide 3mg treatment at 16 weeks.
