Summary

This study looks at whether adding a weekly medicine (exenatide) to family-based behavioral treatment helps 10-12-year-old children with obesity lose more weight than behavioral treatment alone. The study involves 63 children and their parents. The goal is to find better ways to treat childhood obesity and its long-term health effects.
