Participant Flow

100 participants consented to enroll in the study and entered the screening phase. During the screening phase participants entered and 8-week meal replacement therapy phase to help them meet a goal of achieving reducing their body mass by 5% or more. Only those participants who met this weight loss goal passed the study screening and were allowed to be randomized to receive placebo or GLP-1 RA. 66 participants met the BMI weight loss goal, 34 participants did not pass the screening phase.

Only individuals who achieve the \>/= 5% BMI reduction will be considered to have passed screening and will be allowed to be randomized to treatment with GLP-1 RA or placebo.

Baseline Characteristics

Enhancing Weight Loss Maintenance With GLP-1RA (BYDUREON™) in Adolescents With Severe Obesity

Baseline characteristics by cohort

Baseline characteristics by cohort
Measure
Weight Loss Maintenance Without Pharmacotherapy
n=33 Participants
A short-term (1-3 month) meal replacement induction period design to achieve ≥5% BMI reduction. If participants achieve ≥5% BMI they will be randomized to drug or placebo in phase 2 of the trail. Meal Replacement Therapy: A short-term meal replacement induction period designed to achieve \>5% BMI reduction in 1, 2, or 3 months.
Weight Loss Maintenance With Pharmacotherapy
n=33 Participants
We hypothesize that adolescents with severe obesity receiving GLP-1RA treatment following a short-term meal replacement induction period will demonstrate superior maintenance of initial BMI reduction 52 weeks following randomization compared to those assigned to placebo (primary endpoint) and that a higher proportion of those assigned to GLP-1RA treatment vs. placebo will maintain ≥5% BMI reduction from baseline to the 52-week time point (secondary endpoint) Exenatide extended-release for injectable suspension (BYDUREON™)
