Predictors of BMI reduction with phentermine/topiramate in adolescents with obesity
摘要
Obesity treatment can produce variable outcomes for different individuals. The aim of this analysis in adolescents with obesity was to investigate if baseline participant characteristics associated with BMI reduction from baseline to 56 weeks when treated with mid- or top-dose phentermine/topiramate (PHEN/TPM) compared to placebo.
MethodsA secondary analysis of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial evaluating PHEN/TPM in adolescents with obesity was conducted. Participants, aged 12 to <17 years with a BMI
Two-hundred twenty-two participants were included in the final analysis. None of the baseline characteristics were statistically significantly associated with BMI reduction with mid- or top-dose PHEN/TPM compared to placebo.
ConclusionsBaseline characteristics were not predictive of BMI reduction with either dose of PHEN/TPM compared to placebo in adolescents with obesity.
