GroupTitleDescriptionWith the outcomeAnalysedClinicalTrials.gov code
Group 1Active Drug
Significantly more placebo recipients (n=11) than liraglutide recipients (n=3) stopped study medication for a side effect (p=0.02). Those who discontinued liraglutide stopped because of gastrointestinal issues (n=1), mood dysregulation (n=1), and suicidal ideation (n=1). No adverse event was judged to reflect an interaction between liraglutide and participants' BD medications. There were no changes in psychopathology safety scales or vital signs. No participants experienced psychosis, displayed suicidal behaviour, or had ECG changes during the study.

Group 2Placebo
Significantly more placebo recipients (n=11) than liraglutide recipients (n=3) stopped study medication for a side effect (p=0.02). Those who discontinued placebo did so for mood dysregulation (n=5), gastrointestinal issues (n=4), and suicidal ideation (n=2). Two participants receiving placebo had a serious adverse event- one was medically hospitalized for a bowel obstruction presumed due to past bariatric surgery while the other was psychiatrically hospitalized for mood dysregulation-neither adverse event was attributed to study medication. There were no changes in psychopathology safety scales or vital signs . No participants experienced psychosis, displayed suicidal behaviour, or had ECG changes during the study.
