Table 6.

Twenty-four-week change in outcomes in the modified intention-to-treat population of a randomized clinical trial of Tesomet for hypopituitary patients with hypothalamic obesity. Data presented as least squares mean (95% CI) change from baseline to week 24 in the mITT population. Last observation carried forward imputation was used for missing data. Pair-wise comparisons were performed using a baseline adjusted ANCOVA model with treatment as factor and change from baseline as dependent variable.
