The two main aims of this clinical study is;
1. To investigate if the results from a series of physiological tests and questionnaires prior to treatment, can be used to predict the treatment response to obesity medication
2. To investigate the effect of combining semaglutide and pramlintide on various aspects of appetite, food preference and eating habits.
The study is planed as a 26 week, double blinded, randomized, placebo controlled trial. The goal is to include N=40. They will all receive weekly semaglutide injections. After 24 weeks they will be randomized to receive either an amylin analog (pramlintide) or placebo as a continuous infusion for two weeks, in addition to weekly semaglutide.
The results from this study will contribute to identifying possible predictors of treatment response, enabling optimal individualized medical weight loss treatment. As well as providing knowledge on the complex interplay between incretin hormones and their effects on appetite and eating habits.
