What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in weight

    The difference in mean percent body weight loss between the ADF sibutramine IR/topiramate XR group and the placebo-treated group is ≥5% in favor of ADF.

    Measured: 58 weeks

  2. The mean percentage loss of body weight

    The mean percentage loss of body weight in the ADF sibutramine IR/topiramate XR group was greater than that observed in the group treated with sibutramine IR

    Measured: 58 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Proportion of participants with weight reduction ≥ 5%

    Proportion of participants with weight reduction ≥ 5% at the end of treatment in relation to baseline weight;

    Measured: 58 weeks

  2. Proportion of participants with weight reduction ≥ 10%

    Proportion of participants with weight reduction ≥ 10% at the end of treatment in relation to baseline weight

    Measured: 58 weeks

  3. Proportion of participants with weight reduction ≥ 15%

    Proportion of participants with weight reduction ≥ 15% at the end of treatment in relation to baseline weight;

    Measured: 58 weeks

  4. Abdominal circumference

    The measurement of abdominal circumference

    Measured: 58 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ADF1 Group Eurofarma drug association of Sibutramine IR 15mg / Topiramate XR 75mg, ADF2 Group Eurofarma drug association of Sibutramine IR 15mg / Topiramate XR 100mg and SIB Group Sibus (Sibutramine) 15mg in people with Overweight and Obesity, run by Eurofarma Laboratorios S.A. at 2 sites in Brazil.

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 5 inclusion and 24 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Brazil. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Change in weight (time frame: 58 weeks). 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 18 Dec 2025.
