Project Summary Although bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for severe obesity, a large proportion of patients experience significant weight regain with longer follow-up. Because weight regain is associated with re- emergence of weight-related comorbidities, increased health care costs, and impaired quality of life, it is imperative to effectively manage this problem. Diet, exercise, and behavior therapy have demonstrated minimal efficacy in reversing weight regain. Pharmacotherapy could be useful to manage this clinical problem. However, there are no published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of pharmacotherapy for reversal of weight regain. This is a major therapeutic gap, which the proposed project will aim to fill. In this well-powered meticulously designed double-blind RCT employing a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) design, a total of 120 subjects with weight regain after bariatric surgery, will be initially randomized in a 3:3:2 ratio to daily treatment with topiramate (TPM) 50 mg or phentermine (PHEN) 7.5 mg or placebo. After 4 months, responders (those with ≥5% weight loss) will continue the same treatment, while nonresponders will be re-randomized to a higher dose of the same drug or phentermine/topiramate 7.5/50 mg combination (PHEN/TPM) during Months 5-12. The placebo group will receive placebo for the full 12 months. All subjects will receive diet and lifestyle counseling throughout the study. Aim 1. To determine whether pharmacotherapy can reverse post-bariatric surgery weight regain. We hypothesize that, compared to placebo, all three active drug therapies – TPM, PHEN, and PHEN/TPM will lead to greater percent weight loss at Month 12. Aim 2. To examine change in energy intake objectively assessed with the Intake-Balance Method using doubly labeled water and DXA. We hypothesize that active drug therapy will lead to greater reduction in energy intake at Month 12. Aim 3. To examine changes in the most common maladaptive eating behaviors in the post-bariatric surgery patients - grazing, loss-of-control eating, and binge eating. We hypothesize that, compared to placebo, all three drug therapies will lead to decreased maladaptive eating behaviors. A battery of carefully chosen exploratory outcomes including other likely modulators of changes in energy balance (appetite, night eating behavior, dietary restraint, thyroid hormones, leptin, and physical activity), additional efficacy (ALT, AST, glycemia, lipid levels, inflammatory markers, quality of life, and psychological wellbeing), and safety (heart rate, BP, anxiety, depressive symptoms) will be investigated. Additional efficacy questions including the best initial treatment, dose escalation vs combination strategy, and each adaptive intervention will be examined. The findings of this highly rigorous study will provide high-quality evidence for the efficacy and safety of pharmacotherapy in reversing weight regain after bariatric surgery. Study results could lead to a change in clinical practice paradigms and enhance long-term outcomes for patients after bariatric surgery. Because the SMART design mimics clinical practice, the findings of this RCT are directly translatable to clinical practice.

项目概要 虽然减肥手术是治疗严重肥胖最有效的方法，但很大一部分患者 随着更长的随访时间，体重会显着反弹。因为体重反弹与体重恢复有关 与体重相关的合并症的出现、医疗费用的增加以及生活质量的下降， 有效解决这一问题势在必行。饮食、运动和行为疗法已证明 逆转体重反弹的效果甚微。药物疗法可能有助于解决这一临床问题。 然而，尚无已发表的逆转药物治疗的随机对照试验（RCT）。 体重反弹。这是一个重大的治疗空白，拟议项目旨在填补这一空白。在这个实力雄厚的 采用序贯多重分配随机试验精心设计的双盲随机对照试验 (SMART) 设计，共有 120 名减肥手术后体重恢复的受试者，最初将被随机分组 以 3:3:2 的比例每日使用托吡酯 (TPM) 50 mg 或芬特明 (PHEN) 7.5 mg 或安慰剂进行治疗。 4后 几个月后，有反应者（体重减轻 ≥5% 的人）将继续相同的治疗，而无反应者将 重新随机分配至更高剂量的相同药物或芬特明/托吡酯 7.5/50 mg 组合 (PHEN/TPM) 第 5-12 个月。安慰剂组将在整个 12 个月内接受安慰剂。所有科目 在整个研究过程中将接受饮食和生活方式咨询。目的 1. 确定药物治疗是否有效 可以逆转减肥手术后的体重反弹。我们假设，与安慰剂相比，所有三种活性药物 药物治疗 – TPM、PHEN 和 PHEN/TPM 将在第 12 个月时实现更大百分比的体重减轻。目标 2. 检查能量摄入的变化，使用双标记的摄入平衡法客观评估 水和 DXA。我们假设积极的药物治疗将导致能量摄入的更大减少 第 12 个月。目标 3：检查减肥后最常见的适应不良饮食行为的变化 手术患者 - 放牧、饮食失控和暴饮暴食。我们假设，与安慰剂相比， 所有三种药物疗法都会减少适应不良的饮食行为。精心挑选的电池 探索性结果，包括能量平衡变化的其他可能调节因素（食欲、夜间进食 行为、饮食限制、甲状腺激素、瘦素和体力活动）、额外功效（ALT、AST、 血糖、血脂水平、炎症标志物、生活质量和心理健康）和安全性（心率、 血压、焦虑、抑郁症状）将被调查。其他功效问题，包括最佳初始效果 将检查治疗、剂量递增与联合策略以及每种适应性干预措施。这 这项高度严谨的研究结果将为以下药物的有效性和安全性提供高质量的证据： 药物治疗可逆转减肥手术后的体重反弹。研究结果可能会导致改变 临床实践范例并提高减肥手术后患者的长期结果。因为 SMART 设计模仿临床实践，该随机对照试验的结果可直接转化为临床实践。
