Weight loss is diffi cult to achieve and sustain by lifestyle therapy alone.<br />

Liraglutide, a once-daily human glucagon-like peptide-1 analog approved<br />

for the treatment of T2DM, induced dose-dependent wt loss in obese<br />

subjects without diabetes in a phase 2 study, with highest effi cacy shown<br />

by a 3mg/d dose. The present randomized, placebo-controlled trial tested<br />

the ability of liraglutide (3mg/d) to maintain diet-induced wt loss. Subjects<br />

who lost >5% body wt after a 4–12 week run-in (RI) with a low-calorie diet<br />

(1200–1400kcal/d) and exercise counseling were randomized to receive<br />

liraglutide or placebo plus a 500kcal/d defi cit diet and exercise regimen for<br />

56 weeks. Of 511 subjects entering RI, 422 were randomized 1:1 to the 2<br />

arms. The mean RI wt loss for all randomized subjects was 6.0% (6.3kg).<br />

Over the next 56 weeks, additional wt loss occurred post-randomization (PR)<br />

(6.1% vs 0.05%, liraglutide vs placebo, p
