Patients who have completed a washout (2-weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer) of the prohibited concomitant medication(s) at screening 6. Subject willing to comply with daily completion of an eDiary using a mobile smartphone application

Exclusion Criteria

  1. Using prescription medications, other than Contrave/Mysimba, or surgical or medical device interventions for weight loss 2. History of MI or stroke within 90 days prior to screening 3. Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as systolic BP ≥160 mmHg and/or >100 mmHg diastolic BP on the average of 3 seated BP measurements after the patient has been at rest for at least 5 minutes 4. Meets any of the following criteria: - Confirmed end-stage renal disease (ie, a degree of kidney failure severe enough to require dialysis or kidney transplantation for survival characterized by a severe reduction in glomerular filtration rate [<15 mL/minute/1.73 m2] and other manifestations including increased serum creatinine), - Severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score 10 to 15 [Class C]), - Hemodynamic instability, including patients with severe heart failure (New York Heart Association Class IV) 5. Seizure disorders or history of seizures, not including subjects with a history of pediatric febrile seizures 6. Use of other bupropion-containing products (including but not limited to Wellbutrin, Wellbutrin SR, Wellbutrin XL, and Aplenzin) 7. Active anorexia nervosa or bulimia 8. Chronic opioid or opiate agonist (eg, methadone) or partial agonists (eg, buprenorphine) use, or acute opioid withdrawal or has a positive urine drug result for opioids at screening 9. Undergoing abrupt discontinuation of alcohol, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and antiepileptic drugs 10. Concomitant administration of MAOIs. This also includes use of reversible MAOIs, such as linezolid or intravenous methylene blue. At least 14 days should elapse between discontinuation of MAOIs and initiation of treatment with Contrave/Mysimba. 11. Subject has any disease or condition, or use of any pharmacological agent to treat the disease/condition, that, in the opinion of the investigator, would contraindicate study participation 12. Known allergy to bupropion, naltrexone, or any other component of Contrave/Mysimba 13. Pregnant or nursing 14. Known life-threatening arrythmias, including Brugada syndrome 15. Participation in any other concurrent investigational trial

Detailed Description

This multi-center, prospective, randomized, pragmatic, double-blinded study has been designed to capture cardiovascular (CV) outcomes during the real-world use of NB after initial randomization. The aim of the study is to assess whether patients receiving treatment with NB are at an elevated risk of experiencing MACE compared with patients receiving placebo. Both patient groups will also be counselled to lose weight via a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

Notice

Study information shown on this site is derived from ClinicalTrials.gov (a public registry operated by the National Institutes of Health). The listing of studies provided is not certain to be all studies for which you might be eligible. Furthermore, study eligibility requirements can be difficult to understand and may change over time, so it is wise to speak with your medical care provider and individual research study teams when making decisions related to participation.
