Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
During the baseline visit, data such as body weight, body composition, physical function, physical activity level and health-related quality of life will be collected. Adverse events will be reviewed and a meal test will be repeated. Upon completion of all the baseline procedures, participants will be randomised to receive either subcutaneous injection of liraglutide 3.0 mg or identical placebo for 24 weeks. Participants will be counselled for a calorie-reduced diet and to increase their level of physical activity. Participants will also be taught how to self-administer the treatment (by subcutaneous injection). For safety purpose, subject visits will be carried out at weeks 2, 4, 8, 17 and 24 of the treatment initiation. At all these visits, targeted physical examination will be performed and adverse events will be assessed. End-of-study visit will be over the phone 4 weeks after the end of treatment (i.e. week 28).

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Treatment
Daily subcutaneous injection of liraglutide 3.0 mg
Study dosing of liraglutide:
Week 1: 0.6 mg once daily Week 2: 1.2 mg once daily Week 3: 1.8 mg once daily Week 4: 2.4 mg once daily Week 5-24: 3.0 mg once daily
In addition to the daily injection of liraglutide/placebo, participants in both groups will be advised to cut down approximately 500 calories from their usual food intake and to achieve a minimum of 150 minutes per week of physical activity.
Liraglutide Pen Injector [Saxenda]
Daily injection of GLP-1 agonist (liraglutide 3.0 mg) for obese patients presenting poor weight loss (\<20%) after bariatric surgery and suboptimal GLP-1 levels.
Control
Daily subcutaneous injection of placebo; the same dosage regimen as treatment to be followed.
In addition to the daily injection of liraglutide/placebo, participants in both groups will be advised to cut down approximately 500 calories from their usual food intake and to achieve a minimum of 150 minutes per week of physical activity.
Placebo

Inclusion Criteria
2. Adults, 18-64 years inclusive.

5. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to being registered for trial treatment. NOTE: Subjects are considered not of child bearing potential if they are surgically sterile (i.e. they have undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or they are postmenopausal.

6. Heart rate ≥ 100 beats/minute at screening on two separate measurements.
7. Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg).
8. Renal impairment (estimated glomerular infiltration rate (eGFR \<30 ml/min 1.73 m2)
9. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to liraglutide 3.0 mg and placebo or any of the excipients involved in their formulation.
10. Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2.
11. Personal history of pancreatitis.
12. Uncontrolled hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
13. History of stroke, unstable angina, acute coronary syndrome, congestive heart failure New York Heart Association class III-IV within the preceding 12 months.
14. History of arrhythmias.
