BACKGROUND: Antiobesity medication may be useful for the treatment of pediatric obesity, yet few safe and effective options exist. We evaluated phentermine/topiramate (PHEN/TPM) for weight management in adolescents with obesity.METHODS: This 56-week, randomized, double-blind trial enrolled adolescents 12 to less than 17 years of age with obesity. Participants were randomly assigned 1:1:2 to receive either placebo (n=56), mid-dose PHEN/TPM (7.5 mg/46 mg; n=54), or top-dose PHEN/TPM (15 mg/92 mg; n=113), respectively. All participants received lifestyle therapy. The primary end point was mean percent change in body-mass index (BMI) from randomization to week 56.RESULTS: Participants had a mean (±SD) age of 14.0±1.4 years and a mean (±SD) BMI of 37.8±7.1 kg/m2; 54.3% were female. The primary end point of percent change in BMI at week 56 showed differences from placebo of -10.44 percentage points (95% CI, -13.89 to -6.99; P
