Registry summary

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

This study is open to adults who are at least 18 years old and have * a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or more, or * a BMI of 27 kg/m² or more and at least one health problem related to their weight. People with type 2 diabetes cannot take part in this study. Only people who have previously not managed to lose weight by changing their diet can participate. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called survodutide (BI 456906) helps people living with overweight or obesity to lose weight. Participants are divided into 3 groups by chance, like drawing names from a hat. 2 groups get different doses of survodutide and 1 group gets placebo. Placebo looks like survodutide but does not contain any medicine. Every participant has a 2 in 3 chance of getting survodutide. Participants inject survodutide or placebo under their skin once a week for about one and a half years. In addition to the study medicine, all participants receive counselling to make changes to their diet and to exercise regularly. Participants are in the study for about 1 year and 7 months. During this time, it is planned that participants visit the study site up to 14 times and receive 6 phone calls by the site staff. The doctors check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. The participants' body weight is regularly measured. The results are compared between the groups to see whether the treatment works.

    Time frame · Baseline and at Week 76

  3. Achievement of body weight reduction ≥20% (yes/no) from baseline to Week 76

    Time frame · Baseline and at Week 76

  4. Absolute change from baseline to Week 76 in body weight (kg)

    Time frame · Baseline and Week 76

  5. Absolute change from baseline to Week 76 in waist circumference (cm)

  6. Absolute change from baseline to Week 76 in systolic blood pressure (SBP) (mmHg)

    Time frame · Baseline and at Week 76

  7. Absolute change from baseline to Week 76 in "Capacity to Resist" domain score of the Eating Behaviour patient reported outcome (PRO)

    Time frame · Baseline and at Week 76

    Registry description

    "Capacity to Resist" domain score of the Eating Behaviour PRO is ranging between 0 and 24 and a higher score indicates a lower capacity to resist.

  8. Absolute change from baseline to Week 76 in Eating Behaviour PRO total score

    Time frame · Baseline and at Week 76

    Registry description

    Eating Behaviour PRO total score is ranging between 0 and 48 and a higher score indicates a worse eating behaviour (greater desire to eat and/or lower capacity to resist).

  9. Absolute change from baseline to Week 76 in body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2)

    Time frame · Baseline and at Week 76

  10. Absolute change from baseline to Week 76 in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (mmHg)

  16. Absolute change from baseline to Week 76 in high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (mg/dL)

    Time frame · Baseline and at Week 76

  17. Absolute change from baseline to Week 76 in low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (mg/dL)

    Time frame · Baseline and at Week 76

  18. Absolute change from baseline to Week 76 in very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol (mg/dL)

    Time frame · Baseline and at Week 76

  19. Absolute change from baseline to Week 76 in triglycerides (mg/dL)

    Time frame · Baseline and at Week 76
