Conditions Metabolism and Nutrition Disorder
Obesity
Interventions Drug: Liraglutide
Drug: Placebo
Enrollment 251
Recruitment Details This trial was conducted at 32 sites in 5 countries: Belgium (6 sites), Sweden (4 sites), Russia (8 sites), Mexico (2 sites) and the United States of America (USA - 12 sites). Additionally, 1 site in the USA was approved by the independent review board, but did not randomise any participant.
Pre-assignment Details This trial consisted of a 12-week run-in period, during which participants received counselling on healthy nutrition and physical activity. Completed numbers include participants who completed the trial without prematurely discontinuing the trial product and participants who discontinued the trial product but came for the week 82 follow-up visit.
Arm/Group Title Liraglutide 3.0 mg Placebo
Hide Arm/Group Description Participants received liraglutide in a dose escalation manner for 56 weeks: 0.6 mg during week 1, 1.2 mg during week 2, 1.8 mg during week 3, 2.4 mg during week 4 and 3.0 mg from week 5 to week 56. There was a 26-week off-study-drug follow-up period (week 57-82). Liraglutide was administered once daily by subcutaneous (s.c.; under the skin) injection in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm irrespective of the timing of meals. Subjects received liraglutide matching placebo for 56 weeks. There was a 26-week off-study-drug follow-up period (week 57-82). Placebo for liraglutide was administered once daily by s.c. injection in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm irrespective of the timing of meals.

1.Primary Outcome
Title Change in BMI SDS (Week 0, Week 56)
Hide Description Change from baseline (week 0) in BMI SDS was evaluated at week 56. BMI SDS was calculated using the following formula: Z=[(value /M)^L - 1] / S*L; where L, M and S are median (M), skewness (L) and variation coefficient (S) of children/adolescents' BMI provided for each sex and age. For each subject, a standard deviation score Z (SDS) was calculated based on age and sex referring to the values L, M and S. The method is described in the world health organisation (WHO) Multicentre Growth Reference, which also contains the values for L, M and S by age and sex. For Z (SDS) scores below -3 and above 3, the score was adjusted as described in the WHO instruction. All available data were used for the analysis including data collected after treatment discontinuation. Results are based on both participants who completed the week 0-56 trial period and participants who prematurely discontinued the trial product but attended the follow-up visit at 56.

Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Liraglutide 3.0 mg, Placebo
Comments Analysis of in-trial data with missing observations was imputed from the placebo arm based on a jump to reference multiple (x100) imputation approach. Responses at week 56 were analysed using an analysis of covariance model with treatment, sex, region, baseline glycaemic category, stratification factor for Tanner stage and interaction between baseline glycaemic category and stratification factor for Tanner stage as fixed effects, baseline BMI SDS, age as covariates.

Hide Description Change in Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Kids (IWQOL-Kids) was evaluated from baseline (week 0) to weeks 30 and 56, and from week 56 to week 82. The IWQOL-Kids is a 27-item measure of weight-related quality of life. There are four domain scores (Physical Comfort, Body Esteem, Social Life and Family Life) and a total score. Scores for all domains and total score range from 0-100, with higher scores representing better health-related quality of life. IWQOL-kids data at week 82 was not collected, thus could not be evaluated. Results are based on the participants who completed the corresponding trial period, week 0-30, week 0-56 or week 0-82.

Week 30 and 56 results are based on the participants who completed the corresponding trial period, week 0-30 or week 0-56.
Time Frame Week -14, week 30, week 56 and week 82

Arm/Group Title Liraglutide 3.0 mg Placebo
Hide Arm/Group Description:
Participants received liraglutide in a dose escalation manner for 56 weeks: 0.6 mg during week 1, 1.2 mg during week 2, 1.8 mg during week 3, 2.4 mg during week 4 and 3.0 mg from week 5 to week 56. There was a 26-week off-study-drug follow-up period (week 57-82). Liraglutide was administered once daily by s.c. injection in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm irrespective of the timing of meals.

Title Change in Pubertal Status
Hide Description This outcome measure presents "pubertal status results" which is based on Tanner staging (Tanner stage 2-5), recorded at baseline (week 0), week 30, week 56 and week 82. Results are presented for the following categories: 1) For female: breast development and pubic hair development (by Tanner staging). 2) For male: penis development and pubic hair development (by Tanner staging). Each category shows number of participants in stages 2 to 5, where stage 2 represents "early pubertal development" and stage 5 represents "pubertal development equivalent to that of an adult". Week 30, 56 and 82 results are based on the participants who completed the corresponding trial period, week 0-30, week 0-56 or week 0-82.

Arm/Group Title Liraglutide 3.0 mg Placebo
Hide Arm/Group Description:
Participants received liraglutide in a dose escalation manner for 56 weeks: 0.6 mg during week 1, 1.2 mg during week 2, 1.8 mg during week 3, 2.4 mg during week 4 and 3.0 mg from week 5 to week 56. There was a 26-week off-study-drug follow-up period (week 57-82). Liraglutide was administered once daily by s.c. injection in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm irrespective of the timing of meals.

Title Change in Physical Examination
Hide Description This outcome measure presents number of subjects with physical examination findings, "normal; abnormal, not clinically significant (NCS) or abnormal, clinically significant (CS)" at baseline (week 0), week 30, week 56 and week 82. These findings were categorised by the investigator. Results include examination of: "general appearance"; "head, ears, eyes, nose, throat, neck"; "respiratory system"; "cardiovascular system (CVS)"; "gastrointestinal (GI) system including mouth"; "musculoskeletal system"; "central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS)"; "skin"; "thyroid gland" and "lymph node palpation". Week 30, 56 and 82 results are based on the participants who completed the corresponding trial period, week 0-30, week 0-56 or week 0-82.

59.Secondary Outcome
Title Change in Height SDS
Hide Description Change in height standard deviation score (SDS) was evaluated from baseline (week 0) to weeks 30 and 56, and from week 56 to week 82. Height SDS was calculated using the following formula: Z=[(value /M)^L - 1] / S*L; where L, M and S are median (M), skewness (L) and variation coefficient (S) of children/adolescents' height provided for each sex and age. For each subject, a standard deviation score Z (SDS) was calculated based on age and sex referring to the values L, M and S. The method is described in the WHO Multicentre Growth Reference, which also contains the values for L, M and S by age and sex. For Z (SDS) scores below -3 and above 3, the score was adjusted as described in the WHO instruction. Results are based on both participants who completed the trial period, week 0-30, week 0-56 or week 0-82, and participants who could not complete the corresponding trial period, but attended the follow-up visit at week 30, 56 or 82, respectively.

Hide Analysis Population Description
Results are based on the SAS which included all randomised participants exposed to at least one dose of trial product. "Overall Number of Participants Analyzed" = SAS. "Number Analyzed" = number of participants with available data.
Arm/Group Title Liraglutide 3.0 mg Placebo
Hide Arm/Group Description:
Participants received liraglutide in a dose escalation manner for 56 weeks: 0.6 mg during week 1, 1.2 mg during week 2, 1.8 mg during week 3, 2.4 mg during week 4 and 3.0 mg from week 5 to week 56. There was a 26-week off-study-drug follow-up period (week 57-82). Liraglutide was administered once daily by s.c. injection in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm irrespective of the timing of meals.
Subjects received liraglutide matching placebo for 56 weeks. There was a 26-week off-study-drug follow-up period (week 57-82). Placebo for liraglutide was administered once daily by s.c. injection in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm irrespective of the timing of meals.

Title Change in C-SSRS
Hide Description This outcome measure presents number of subjects with "suicidal ideation or suicidal behaviour on the Columbia Suicidality Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)" assessed at baseline (week 0), week 30, week 56 and week 82. Week 30, 56 and 82 results are based on the participants who completed the corresponding trial period, week 0-30, week 0-56 or week 0-82.
