Purpose
The purpose of the study was to determine the long-term effect of sibutramine treatment on cardiovascular outcomes in overweight and obese patients at risk of a cardiovascular event.

| Official Title: | Sibutramine Cardiovascular Morbidity/Mortality Outcomes Study in Overweight or Obese Subjects at Risk of a Cardiovascular Event |
- Risk of Experiencing a Primary Outcome Event (POE) (i.e., Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction [MI], Nonfatal Stroke, Resuscitated Cardiac Arrest, Cardiovascular [CV] Death) [ Time Frame: From randomization up to 6 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]For each subject, POE status (with/without an event) and time to first occurrence of a POE using time-to-event analysis were evaluated. All POE confirmed by an independent adjudication committee were included in the analysis.
- Risk of Death From Any Cause (All-cause Mortality) [ Time Frame: From randomization up to 6 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]For each subject who died, the time to death was evaluated using time-to-event analysis.
- Risk of Experiencing a POE or a Revascularization Procedure [ Time Frame: From randomization up to 6 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]This outcome includes nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, resuscitated cardiac arrest, CV death (including events such as fatal MI and fatal stroke), and any of the following revascularization procedures: percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, coronary artery bypass graft, coronary artery stent placement, cardiac transplant, peripheral vascular bypass or angioplasty, and carotid endarterectomy. For each subject, the POE or revascularization status (yes/no) and time to first occurrence of an event using time-to-event analysis were evaluated.
- Risk of Experiencing a Nonfatal MI Included in the POE [ Time Frame: From randomization up to 6 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]For each subject, the first occurrence of a nonfatal MI included in the POE was evaluated using time-to-event analysis.
- Risk of Experiencing a Nonfatal Stroke Included in the POE [ Time Frame: From randomization up to 6 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]For each subject, the time to first occurrence of a nonfatal stroke included in the POE was evaluated using time-to-event analysis.
- Risk of Experiencing a Resuscitated Cardiac Arrest Included in the POE [ Time Frame: From randomization up to 6 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]For each subject, the time to first occurrence of a resuscitated cardiac arrest included in the POE was evaluated using time-to-event analysis.
- Risk of Experiencing Cardiovascular Death Included in the POE [ Time Frame: From randomization up to 6 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]For each subject, the time to cardiovascular death included in the POE was evaluated using time-to-event analysis.

Experimental: Sibutramine
Subjects were randomized to receive sibutramine 10 mg once daily (QD) during the Treatment Period after a 6-week Lead-in Period
|
Drug: Sibutramine hydrochloride
One 10 mg tablet QD plus country-specific standard care for weight management. (During the Treatment Period, the dose could have been titrated up to 15 mg at the investigator's discretion.)

Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Subjects were randomized to receive placebo QD during the Treatment Period after a 6-week Lead-in Period
|
Drug: Placebo
1 tablet QD plus country-specific standard care for weight management (During the Treatment Period, the dose could have been titrated up to 15 mg at the investigator's discretion.)
Other Name: Placebo

Experimental: Lead-in sibutramine
All subjects received 10 mg sibutramine QD during a 6-week Lead-in Period
|
Drug: Sibutramine hydrochloride
10 mg tablet QD during the 6-week Lead-in Period plus country-specific standard care for weight management

Detailed Description:
The study consisted of 4 periods: 1) a Screening Period of approximately 2 weeks; 2) a 6-week Lead-in Period, during which subjects received single-blind sibutramine and country-specific standard of care for weight management. Subjects who discontinued study drug treatment during the Lead-in Period were not randomized and did not participate in the double-blind Treatment Period or the Follow-up Period; 3) a double-blind Treatment Period in which subjects were randomized to 1 of the 2 treatment groups and were followed until the study ended; and 4) a double-blind Follow-up Period, during which randomized subjects who discontinued study drug were followed until the study ended. The Randomization Phase consisted of the double-blind Treatment Period and the double-blind Follow-up Period. Subjects received country-specific standard of care for weight management during the Randomization Phase.
An independent events adjudication committee evaluated all potential cardiovascular outcome events and confirmed the outcome events and time of onset to be included in the statistical analyses.
