Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group, active-drug- and placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the safety, efficacy and superiority of the new fixed-dose combination sibutramine IR/topyramat XR in weight reduction in overweight adults with comorbidity(ies) or obesity

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A phase 3, multicenter, national, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group, active-drug and placebo-controlled, superiority clinical trial. Individuals of both sexes aged ≥18 years and ≤60 years, overweight (BMI ≥ 27kg/m2) in the presence of comorbidities (dyslipidemia, systemic arterial hypertension \[SAH\], pre-diabetes and/or sleep apnea) or obese (BMI ≥ 30kg/m2 and \< 45kg/m2).
