Measured at baseline, week 14 and week 26.Absolute change from baseline in waist circumference after 14 and 26 weeks of treatment with EMP16-02 (120 mg O/40 mg A and 150 mg O/50 mg A) as compared to placebo.

SecondaryPercentage body fat, relative (%) and absolute change from baseline for EMP16-02 (120 mg O/40 mg A and 150 mg O/50 mg A)From first dose to last dose (week 26). Measured at baseline, week 14 and week 26.Relative (%) and absolute change from baseline in percentage body fat after 14 and 26 weeks of treatment with EMP16-02 (120 mg O/40 mg A and 150 mg O/50 mg A) as compared to placebo.
SecondaryQuestionnaire Satiety and craving, after 14 and 26 weeks for EMP16 02 (120 mg O/40 mg A and 150 mg O/50 mg A)From first dose to last dose (week 26). Measured at baseline, week 7, week 14, and week 26.
Questionnaire Satiety and craving (generated by Empros Pharma AB) after 14 and 26 weeks of treatment with EMP16 02 (120 mg O/40 mg A and 150 mg O/50 mg A) as compared to placebo, corrected for satiety and craving after standardised breakfast at baseline.
