description | The weight loss response to anti-obesity drugs is highly variable and poorly understood, which does not allow us to know, in advance, in which subjects the drug will be effective and in which it will not. The objective of this study was to explore the body weight reduction in kilograms in the first month (1mo-BWRkg) and the development of tolerance as predictors of 6-month efficacy for treatment with 1 mg mazindol twice a day. One hundred ninety-six obese subjects were individually or jointly analyzed. Approximately 60% of subjects developed tolerance to mazindol and achieved increasing proportional levels of 6-month efficacy according to 1mo-BWRkg intervals (<1 kg, 1 to <2 kg, 2 to <4 kg and ≥4 kg). Both moT and 1mo-BWRkg were significantly correlated with the mean percentage body weight reduction (BWR%) after 6-months of treatment. The qualitative analysis of both predictors on the progressive efficacy of mazindol was used to classify patients according to expected efficacy (inefficient, slightly effective, partially effective, or fully effective), based on the mean percentage efficacy and the number of subjects reaching a BWR% of <5%, 5 to <10%, 10 to <15% or ≥15%. In conclusion, combined 1mo-BWRkg and moT were early predictors for the progressive efficacy of 6-month mazindol anti-obesity therapy. This finding represents progress in predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine which could serve for estimating the expectations of individual efficacy with the use of the drug. and highlights the basic principle of personalized medicine, “one size does not fit all”. |
