Cardiovascular Outcomes Study of Naltrexone SR/Bupropion SR in Overweight and Obese Subjects With Cardiovascular Risk Factors (The Light Study)

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of NB relative to placebo on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) such as cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke in overweight and obese subjects who are at a higher risk of having these events because they have diabetes and/or other cardiovascular risk factors.

Official Title
A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Assessing the Occurrence of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) in Overweight and Obese Subjects With Cardiovascular Risk Factors Receiving Naltrexone SR/Bupropion SR
Primary Outcomes
Outcome Description
The primary endpoint is the time from randomization to the first confirmed occurrence of any event within the primary MACE composite (defined as cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke). Due to early termination of the study, pre-planned 50% interim analysis is considered the primary analysis for outcome measures. The pre-planned 50% interim analysis was conducted when 50% of the total planned MACE were observed.
Outcome Measure
Percentage of Participants With a Confirmed Occurrence of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event (MACE)
Outcome Time Frame
Confirmed occurrence of event between Day 1 (randomization) and up to a maximum of 4 years of follow-up

Outcome Measure
Percentage of Participants With a Confirmed Occurrence of Cardiovascular Death, Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction, Nonfatal Stroke, or Nonfatal Unstable Angina Requiring Hospitalization
