Study Summary

Taken together these data support the hypothesis that liraglutide 3.0 mg sc injection will reduce body weight and improve metabolic variables in obese or overweight patients with BP without worsening psychiatric symptoms. The investigators predict that liraglutide 3.0 mg sc injection will display greater efficacy as compared to placebo in decreasing body weight in patients with BP who are obese or overweight. To prove this hypothesis, investigators will conduct a single-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, 2-arm clinical trial of liraglutide 3.0 mg sc injection in 60 obese or overweight outpatients with stable BP. The investigators have chosen BP rather than another SMI because it is the most common SMI (more common than schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder) and has a particularly strong association with obesity.
