Clinical Studies 14.1 Cardiovascular Outcomes Trial in Adult Patients with Cardiovascular Disease and Either Obesity or Overweight Overview of Clinical Trial Study 1 (NCT03574597) was a multi-national, multi-center, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial to determine the effect of WEGOVY injection relative to placebo on major adverse CV events (MACE) when added to current standard of care, which included management of CV risk factors and individualized healthy lifestyle counseling (including diet and physical activity) in adults with established CV disease and either obesity or overweight
The speed of weight loss depends on dose escalation, adherence, nutrition habits, physical activity, and individual response

The complete protocol involves protein, resistance training, and creatine working together
35 Underlying Conditions: Certain conditions, notably type 2 diabetes, are associated with slightly less weight loss on these medications compared to individuals without diabetes
