| NCT00001723 ↗ | Safety and Efficacy of Xenical in Children and Adolescents With Obesity-Related Diseases | Completed | Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) | Phase 2 | 1998-05-01 | Obesity is a condition affecting one-third off the U.S. population and is a major risk actor for the development of Type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia (increased levels of fat in the blood), hypertension (high blood pressure), and other disorders of the heart and lungs. Individuals with the onset of obesity during childhood or adolescence are at an increased risk of obesity-related, diseases, both during adolescence and later in adult life. African American girls and women are at an increased risk for obesity, and have substantial rates of obesity-related diseases and causes of death. Further, many African American adult women fail to respond to many of the therapeutic approaches used to treat obesity. At present there are no medical therapies proven effective for the correction of severe obesity in children or adolescents. One medication that may have a favorable risk-benefit ratio in pediatric populations is Orlistat (Xenical, Hoffmann LaRoche). Orlistat works by preventing the action of enzymes in the digestive process, interfering with the absorption of approximately 1/3 of the fat eaten in the diet. Xenical appears to be effective for reducing weight and obesity-associated diseases in obese adults. Researchers propose to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Xenical in 12-17 year old severely obese African American and Caucasian children and adolescents who have one or more obesity-related disease (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, sleep apnea, hepatic steatosis, insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, or Type 2 diabetes). |

| NCT00108524 ↗ | A Low-Carbohydrate, Ketogenic Diet Versus Orlistat for Weight Loss | Completed | US Department of Veterans Affairs | N/A | 2004-07-01 | This study compares two types of diet interventions: a low carbohydrate ketogenic diet (Atkins) and a low-fat diet combined with a medication (Orlistat). |
| NCT00108524 ↗ | A Low-Carbohydrate, Ketogenic Diet Versus Orlistat for Weight Loss | Completed | VA Office of Research and Development | N/A | 2004-07-01 | This study compares two types of diet interventions: a low carbohydrate ketogenic diet (Atkins) and a low-fat diet combined with a medication (Orlistat). |
| NCT00152360 ↗ | The Effect of Xenical on Weight and Risk Factors | Completed | University of British Columbia | Phase 4 | 2005-06-01 | The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of using the weight loss medication Xenical (generic name - orlistat) on weight loss and change in heart disease risk factors in patients of the Healthy Heart Program Lipid Clinic at St. Paul's Hospital over a three month period. Xenical works by blocking the body's absorption of dietary fat in the gut, allowing it to pass through to be excreted, therefore reducing the intake of fat and calories. This is a pilot study supported by Hoffmann-La Roche Limited which produces Xenical. The aim is to investigate whether weight loss will also result in reductions in heart disease risk factors that may allow for less of a need for medications controlling lipid levels, hypertension and plasma glucose. |
| NCT00160407 ↗ | Orlistat (Xenical) in the Treatment of Overweight Patients With Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) | Completed | Hoffmann-La Roche | Phase 4 | 2003-10-01 | The purpose of this study is to determine if orlistat (Xenical) therapy in overweight patients with NASH leads to enhanced weight loss over time, with subsequent improvement in the underlying necroinflammatory and fibrotic changes that are typical of NASH. |
