Rapid response was more common in behavioral therapy than not and in naltrexone/bupropion than placebo. Rapid response was associated with binge-eating remission. Mixed models revealed that rapid response was associated with greater reductions in binge-eating frequency, eating-disorder psychopathology, percent weight loss, and metabolic variables (total cholesterol, glycated hemoglobin A1c) at posttreatment. Rapid response effects on outcomes did not vary by treatment.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>In a randomized clinical trial testing behavioral and pharmacological obesity treatments for BED with co-occurring obesity, rapid response was a robust prognostic indicator of binge-eating remission and significantly better behavioral, psychological, and metabolic outcomes.
