About this study

Official title: Weight Loss and Treatment Patterns in a Real World Population of Adults Receiving Saxenda® for Weight Management in Routine Clinical Practice in Switzerland

The study is investigating weight loss and treatment patterns associated with the use of Saxenda® in adult patients.

The aim of the study is to assess the weight loss associated with Saxenda® in patients with obesity or overweight. Saxenda® was prescribed to participants by study doctor independently of this study.

The study will last for about 4 months, where the data will be collected from the available medical records.

There will be no additional activities expected from participants in the scope of study because it is a chart-review study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity or Overweight, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Relative change in body weight greater than or equal to 5% (lower BMI with weight related comorbidities) or greater than or equal to 7% (higher BMI) in reimbursed setting (yes/no) (time frame: From Baseline (Week 0) to Week 16). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Nov 2022.
