A randomized, double-blinded, placebo controlled study intended to capture cardiovascular outcomes during real-world use of naltrexone/bupropion (NB).
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.

A total daily dosage of two NB 8 mg/90 mg tablets twice daily (32 mg/360 mg) is reached at the start of Week 4.
A total daily dosage of two placebo tablets twice daily (in an identical, non-medicine containing tablet) is reached at the start of Week 4.
Occurrence of Cardiovascular Death
Occurrence of cardiovascular death in number of study patients receiving NB compared with number of study patients receiving placebo.
Time frame: Treatment initiation through 1 year following treatment termination.
Occurrence of Non-fatal Myocardial Infarction (MI)
Occurrence of MI in number of study patients receiving NB compared with number of study patients receiving placebo. MI will be identified using current standard diagnostic criteria, such as the 2017 Cardiovascular and Stroke Endpoints Definitions for Clinical Trials.
Time frame: Treatment initiation through 1 year following treatment termination.
Occurrence of Non-fatal Stroke
Occurrence of non-fatal stroke in number of study patients receiving NB compared with number of study patients receiving placebo. Stroke will be identified using current standard diagnostic criteria, such as the 2017 Cardiovascular and Stroke Endpoints Definitions for Clinical Trials.
Time frame: Treatment initiation through 1 year following treatment termination.
Comparative Rates of Cardiovascular Death
Comparative rates of cardiovascular death between number of study patients receiving NB compared to number of study patients receiving placebo.
Time frame: Treatment initiation through 1 year following treatment termination.
Comparative Rates of Non-fatal Myocardial Infarction (MI)
Comparative rates of non-fatal MI between number of study patients receiving NB compared to number of study patients receiving placebo.
Time frame: Treatment initiation through 1 year following treatment termination.
Comparative Rates of Non-fatal Stroke
