First seen May 20, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a practical approach for teens with severe obesity: combining lifestyle counseling with medication. About 120 teens aged 12-17 will receive counseling and a weight-loss drug to see if this combo helps them lose weight more effectively than counseling alone. The goal is to find a treatment that is easier to stick with and more scalable than intensive programs.
