Participant Flow

Patients aged 10-25 years of age with a diagnosis of hypothalamic obesity following treatment for craniopharyngioma were recruited from pediatric endocrinology outpatient clinics at the three research sites (Seattle Children's Hospital, Seattle, WA, USA; Children's Minnesota, St. Paul, MN, USA; and Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA) and hypothalamic obesity internet support groups.

Qualified participants started with a 2-week placebo run-in to test adherence to the protocol prior to randomization.

Changes in fat and total calorie intake during free buffet meals assessed at baseline and after 36-weeks of study drug treatment. The buffet meal is an objective measure of satiety as it assesses food intake and choice after a caloric preload. A standardized test meal preload provided 20% of estimated daily caloric requirements,based on the Schofield-HW equation. The purpose of the test meal is to ensure that study participants are in an equally fed state. Ninety minutes later, an ad libitum buffet meal was served consisting of a wide variety of food items and more than the child's estimated daily calorie requirements will be offered (5,000 kcal). Children had access to the buffet for 30 min, after which calorie intake and composition of consumed foods was measured by weighing back uneaten food.

Total energy expenditure in the free-living environment was measured using doubly labeled water which estimates carbon dioxide production by measuring the elimination of the tracers deuterium (²H) and oxygen-18 (¹⁸O) from the body. These measures are used to determine the average daily rate of carbon dioxide production which is then used to calculate total energy expenditure using an equation from Weir and an assumed food quotient (0.85).
