Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a common disease in children. Lifestyle modification is the primary treatment but difficult to achieve and maintain. Topiramate is a component of an approved weight loss medication (topiramate-phentermine) in children aged 12 years and older but is more commonly used as a single agent, off-label, for pediatric obesity.

Aims: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a combination of phentermine and delayed-release topiramate (PHEN/TPM CR) versus placebo as an adjunct to standard lifestyle recommendations in Korean adults.
Materials And Methods: This 56-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 4 trial enrolled adults (age 19-70 years) with obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m) at eight sites in South Korea. After a 12-week lifestyle programme, participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive PHEN/TPM CR or placebo.

Background And Aims: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and resultant steatohepatitis (MASH) have been linked to psychiatric comorbidities. The treatment of MASLD/MASH primarily relies upon weight loss, where achieving a 7% total body weight loss is recommended to improve steatohepatitis. We aimed to determine whether achieving a 7% total body weight loss (TBWL) in MASLD/MASH patients was significantly different in the presence of a mood and/or anxiety disorder in an interdisciplinary clinic that integrates weight management and hepatology care.
