However, clinical trials have not been performed to evaluate whether their combination improves metabolic parameters and cardiovascular risk factors other than weight loss. Therefore, we aimed to compare the efficacy of concomitant administration of orlistat and phentermine versus phentermine alone on the endothelial cell function in overweight and obese adults with back pain.Methods: We conducted a 12-week, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 114 patients with a body mass index of ≥ 30 (obese) or ≥ 27 (overweight) with weight-related comorbidities. We randomly assigned patients in a 1:1 ratio to receive orlistat (120mg) three times daily and phentermine (37.5mg) once daily, or a placebo three times daily and phentermine (37.5mg) once daily. Primary endpoint was changes in endothelium-dependent vasodilatation measured using ultrasound assessment of flow-mediated dilatation (FMD). Differences within groups after intervention were compared using the paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Differences in changes between the groups were calculated using an analysis of covariance after adjusting for each baseline value.Results: Mean weight loss during the 12-week study period was 6.1kg in the orlistat/phentermine group and in the placebo/phentermine group. Adjusted mean changes in total and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly greater in the orlistat/phentermine group than in the placebo/phentermine group. Adjusted mean changes in endothelium-dependent FMD were significantly greater in the orlistat/phentermine group than in the placebo/phentermine group (4.97± 0.98% vs 2.05± 0.99%, respectively; p=0.038). Changes in endothelium-independent nitroglycerin-mediated dilatation were not significantly different between the groups.Conclusion: Orlistat/phentermine significantly improved the vascular endothelial cell function compared with phentermine alone. Orlistat might have beneficial effects on the decrease of the risk of cardiovascular disease, especially in overweight and obese patients with comorbidities.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrails.gov number, NCT03675191.Keywords: obesity, orlistat, phentermine, endothelial cell function |
