  Purpose

Roche and GSK will carry out a meta-analysis of liver function data from trials of orlistat to establish whether there is any indication of liver toxicity. The motivation is a cumulative assessment of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) conducted by the FDA following spontaneous reports of liver toxicity in people taking Xenical or Alli.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Odds ratio (Orlistat120:Placebo) for subjects experiencing alanine transaminase (ALT) greater than upper limit of normal (ULN) [ Time Frame: within one year of starting treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Odds ratio (Orlistat120:Placebo) for subjects experiencing total bilirubin (BIL) > ULN [ Time Frame: within one year of starting treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Odds ratio (Orlistat120:Placebo) for subjects experiencing ALT > ULN for successive measurements more than two weeks apart [ Time Frame: within one year of starting treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Odds ratio (Orlistat120:Placebo) for subjects experiencing BIL > ULN for successive measurements greater than two weeks apart [ Time Frame: within one year of starting treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Odds ratio (Orlistat60:Placebo) for subjects experiencing ALT > ULN [ Time Frame: within one year of starting treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Odds ratio (Orlistat60:Placebo) for subjects experiencing BIL > ULN [ Time Frame: within one year of starting treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Odds ratio (Orlistat60:Placebo) for subjects experiencing ALT > ULN for successive measurements more than two weeks apart [ Time Frame: within one year of starting treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Odds ratio (Orlistat60:Placebo) for subjects experiencing BIL > ULN for successive measurements greater than two weeks apart [ Time Frame: within one year of starting treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
