Cumulative Percent Adherence of Medication Events Monitoring (MEMs) Cap

To evaluate the adherence of lorcaserin vs. placebo, the investigators measured adherence as the frequency of taking the study drug as measured by the number of MEMS cap openings (wireless medication monitoring devices that record each opening as a real-time medication event). Cumulative percent adherence was calculated by dividing the frequency of openings at a given time point divided by the number of days since baseline. (NCT03192995)
Timeframe: 12 weeks

Mean Percentage of Weekly Follow-up Visits of Randomized Study Participants

To determine the feasibility of retaining individuals on lorcaserin vs. placebo, the investigators have calculated the mean weekly percentage of follow-up visits of those randomized in the study (NCT03192995)
Timeframe: 12 weeks
