The primary aim of this study is to assess long-term weight loss efficacy of zonisamide relative to placebo in obese patients prescribed a dietary intervention.
This RCT compares two doses of zonisamide and placebo for one year. A total of 225 subjects are randomly assigned to one of the three treatment interventions at Duke University Medical Centre. The primary outcome measure is change in body weight in kilograms. Secondary outcomes include changes in waist circumference, glycaemic and inflammatory markers, lipids, food craving, hunger and satiety, quality of life, blood pressure and heart rate.

Participants are considered to have completed the study if they returned for final study visit. The number completed represents participants who stayed on study drug during the trial plus participants who discontinued study drug during the trial but continued to be followed by study team and completed the final visit assessments.
The study was conducted at Duke University Medical Center between 2006 and 2011.

| FG000 | Placebo | Zonisamide 100 mg and placebo capsules were prepared in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines in Duke Compounding Facility with active pharmaceutical ingredient (Sochinaz SA, Switzerland, distributed by Bachem Americas, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania) plus dextrose as an inactive ingredient. Identical-looking placebo capsules contained dextrose. Each capsule contained zonisamide 100 mg or placebo, with patients and study staff blinded to contents. Dose was gradually titrated upward as follows: 1 capsule for 15 days, 2 during days 16-30, 3 capsules during days 31-45, and 4 from day 46 onward. The entire dose was taken at night. Blinded dose reduction was allowed and dose increase could be withheld. Patients had the option to discontinue the drug and remain in the study receiving only diet and lifestyle counseling. |
| FG001 | Zonisamide 200 mg | Dosing of matching placebo was identical. |

This outcomes measure followed the same principles at measurement of proportions of patients with 5% weight loss described elsewhere. |
| 1 year |
| Waist Circumference | Analyses was based on intent-to-treat ANCOVA. Difference scores from baseline to endpoint (Month-12) for each measure were regressed on the three-level proxy denoting group while controlling for the baseline value of the same measure. Contrasts were subsequently estimated in models, which had a significant overall treatment effect. | 1 year |
| Inflammatory Markers (CRP) | C reactive Protein (CRP) | 1 year |
| Change in Lipids | baseline, 1 year |
| Quality of Life as Measured by HADS_D | Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - Depression (HADS-D) The HADS is a 14-item self-administered questionnaire that consists of 2 scales, one measuring anxiety (HADS-A), and the other measuring depression (HADS-D). Each subscale consists of 7 statements and the participant responds as to how each item applies to him/her over the past week on 4-point response scale. Separate scores are calculated for anxiety and depression and a score (ranging from 0 to 21) is obtained for each subscale. The higher the score, the more severe the anxiety or depression. | 1 year |
