Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Males and females 18 to 65 years of age, extremes included
* Patients continuously receiving diet therapy as well as instructions on exercise at least for 2 weeks run-in, who during the run-in before randomization do not gain weight (\< 2 kg)
* Females of childbearing potential must be non-pregnant and use safe contraceptive methods (the pill, IUD or surgically sterilized)
* Patients should be able to comply with study procedures
* Smoking habits should have been stable for at least 2 months
* Patients giving written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria
* Positive serum pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential
* Pregnant or lactating women, or women who are planning to become pregnant within the next 8 months
* Patients with specific diseases interfering with their metabolism e.g. untreated myxoedema, Cushing's syndrome, Type 1 diabetes mellitus, significant neurological or psychiatric illness such as epilepsy, schizophrenia, depression, eating disorders such as bulimia.
* Patients currently (within the past 2 months) known to abuse or to be dependent on any drug, including alcohol (weekly consumption \> 21 units of alcohol (men) or \>14 units of alcohol (women))
* Hepatic or renal dysfunction (ASAT and/or ALAT \> 2 x ULN and creatinine clearance \< 30 mL/min estimated by central laboratory using Cockcroft and Gault formula, respectively)
* Known untreated hypercholesterolaemia (\> 7 mmol/l). Patients with well regulated cholesterol using drugs for hypercholesterolaemia are allowed inclusion
* Known untreated hypertriglyceridaemia (\> 3 mmol/l). Patients with well regulated triglyceride levels using drugs for hypertriglyceridaemia are allowed inclusion
* Drug treated thyroid diseases (well substituted hypothyroidism is allowed)
* Patients who suffer from hyperthyroid disease are not allowed in the study, even though they may be well treated by drugs
* Patients, who have recently diagnosed, not yet stable hypothyroid disease are not allowed in the study
* Patients who suffer from longstanding stable hypothyroid disease, well treated substitution are allowed to be included including hypothyroidism as a sequelae to definitive treatment of hyperthyroidism by surgery or radioactive iodine
* Malabsorptive intestinal disorders that can be assumed to affect the absorption of tesofensine
* Special diets (e.g., vegetarian, Atkins)
* Patients planning major changes in physical activity during the study to an extent that may interfere with the study outcome, as judged by the investigator
* Weight change of \> 3 kg within 2 months prior to screening
* Mental or psychiatric disorder based on medical history only
* Surgically treated obesity
* Patients with systemic infections or inflammatory diseases
* History or presence of significant cardiovascular disease such as heart failure, ischemic heart disease, stroke, transient ischemic attacks
* Significant abnormalities on the ECG. according to the investigators opinion. Additional exclusionary ECG values: QTcB \> 480 milliseconds (ms), PR interval \> 240 ms, QRS interval \> 120 ms
* Hypotension (i.e. supine systolic BP \< 90 mm Hg) and/or symptomatic orthostatic hypotension (clinical symptoms of orthostatic hypotension associated with a decline ≥ 20 mm Hg in systolic BP at one minute after standing compared with the previous supine systolic BP obtained after 5 minutes of quiet rest) at screening visit
* Uncontrolled hypertension (i.e. sitting diastolic BP ≥ 95 mm Hg and sitting systolic BP ≥ 155 mm Hg) despite treatment for \> 4 weeks prior to the screening visit as well as HR\>90 bpm
* Known HIV infection (no tests required)
* Serologic evidence of active hepatitis B and/or C
* History of cancer within the past 5 years, excluding treated basal cell carcinoma
* Clinically significant or potentially disabling eye disorder, including uncontrolled glaucoma
* Current treatment with medication with known ocular toxicity such as chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine is prohibited
* Patients previously treated with tesofensine
* Patients treated with an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) preceding the first dose of study drug
