SAT-099 Liraglutide 3.0 mg as an Adjunct to Intensive Behavior Therapy in Individuals with Obesity: SCALE IBT 56-Week Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

ABSTRACT: Abstract In this 56-week, randomized, double-blind, US-based multicenter trial (NCT02963935) we investigated the effects of liraglutide 3.0 mg vs placebo, as adjunct to intensive behavior therapy (IBT) (i.e. reduced calorie intake, increased physical activity [max target: 250 min/week], and 23 counseling sessions). Here we report the effects of treatment on weight change (co-primary endpoints: mean change in body weight [%] and proportion of individuals losing ≥5%), glycemic variables, cardiometabolic risk factors, safety and tolerability. Individuals aged ≥18 years with a body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2 and without diabetes were randomized 1:1 to liraglutide 3.0 mg or placebo along with IBT. Continuous and categorical variables were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and log
