Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Belviq XR® in Conjunction With Lifestyle Modification for Weight Loss in Obese Adolescents, Age 12 to 17 Years (NCT NCT03338296)

NCT ID: NCT03338296

Last Updated: 2021-07-19

Results Overview

BMI is a participant's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. Change from baseline was calculated as the post-baseline value minus the baseline value.

DEXA is used to assess changes in body composition, including total fat and lean body mass and appendicular skeletal fat and muscle mass. DEXA instruments has a source that generates x-rays split into two energies which measures bone mineral mass and soft tissue from which fat and fat-free mass (or lean body mass) are estimated.

Total Cholesterol is a measure of the total amount of cholesterol in blood. It includes both LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is often called the "bad" cholesterol because it collects in the walls of blood vessels, raising chances of health problems like a heart attack or stroke. HDL cholesterol is known as the "good" cholesterol because it helps remove other forms of cholesterol from bloodstream. Triglycerides are the most common type of fat in the body.
