Overview
This observational study will explore how Wegovy® (Semaglutide) is used in everyday situations, how it might affect things like weight, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference, and what kind of impact it could have on overall quality of life. The overall purpose of this study is to understand how Wegovy impacts weight when used as part of regular medical care. Participants will be treated with Wegovy as prescribed to the participant by their doctor, in accordance with normal clinical practice. The study will last for about two years.
Interventions
- Drug Semaglutide
Participants will be treated with commercially available Wegovy according to routine clinical practice and is purely at the discretion of the treating physician. Only individuals receiving Wegovy reimbursed by the healthcare system in their respective countries are included in the study.
Primary outcome measures
- Absolute change in body weight (kilograms [kg]) [Time frame: From baseline (0 months) to the end of observation (24 months)]
- Percentage change in body weight (percentage [%]) [Time frame: From baseline (0 months) to the end of observation (24 months)]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Absolute change in waist circumference (centimeters [cm]) [Time frame: From baseline (0 months) to the end of observation (24 months)]
- Absolute change in waist-to-height ratio [Time frame: From baseline (0 months) to the end of observation (24 months)]
- Percentage change in waist circumference (%) [Time frame: From baseline (0 months) to the end of observation (24 months)]
- Number of participants who achieve greater than or equal to (>=) 5 percent body weight reduction (Yes/No) [Time frame: From baseline (0 months) to the end of observation (24 months)]
- For Switzerland: Number of participants who achieve >=7 percent body weight reduction (Yes/No) [Time frame: From baseline (0 months) to the end of observation (22 months)]
- Number of participants who achieve >=10 percent body weight reduction (Yes/No) [Time frame: From baseline (0 months) to the end of observation (24 months)]
- For Switzerland: Number of participants who achieve >=12 percent body weight reduction (Yes/No) [Time frame: From baseline (0 months) to the end of observation (22 months)]
- Number of participants who achieve >=15 percent body weight reduction (Yes/No) [Time frame: From baseline (0 months) to the end of observation (24 months)]
- Number of participants who achieve >=20 percent body weight reduction (Yes/No) [Time frame: From baseline (0 months) to the end of observation (24 months)]
- Change in percentage of participant in each Body Mass Index (BMI) category [Time frame: From baseline (0 months) to the end of observation (24 months)]
- Change in High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol (milligrams per decilitre [mg/dL]) [Time frame: From baseline (0 months) to the end of observation (24 months)]
- Change in HDL Cholesterol (millimoles per litre [mmol/L]) [Time frame: From baseline (0 months) to the end of observation (24 months)]
