Binge days defined as days during which at least 1 binge episode occurred. As assessed by clinical interview based on participant binge diary.

CGI-I consists of a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Improvement is defined as a score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) on the scale.

4-week cessation from binge eating is defined as no binge eating episodes for 28 consecutive days prior to the last study visit.

The Y-BOCS-BE measures the obsession of binge-eating thoughts and compulsiveness of binge-eating behaviors. The scale is a clinician-rated, 10-item scale, each item rated from 0 (no symptoms) to 4 (extreme symptoms). Total scores range from 0 to 40. Reduction in total score indicates improvement.

Response is based on the reduction in the number of binge eating episodes. Percentage of participants with response was reported. Responses were categorized as follows: 1-week Cessation = 100% reduction in binge episodes during the preceding 7 days. Marked Reduction = 99% to 75% reduction during the time since the previous visit. Moderate Reduction = 74% to 50% reduction during the time since the previous visit. Negative to Minimal Reduction = <50% reduction during the time since the previous visit.

The Eating Inventory also known as the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire is a 51-item self-reported questionnaire intended to assess 3 dimensions of eating behavior. There are 36 true/false items, 14 items on a 4-point Likert scale (1=eat rarely to 4=always), and 1 item on a 6-point Likert scale (1=eat whatever you want to 6=constantly limiting food intake). Cognitive Restraint score ranges from 0-21. Hunger score ranges from 0-14. Disinhibition score ranges from 0-16. Higher scores denote higher levels of restrained eating, disinhibited eating and predisposition to hunger.

The BES is a self-reported questionnaire containing 16 items designed to assess behavioral, affective, and attitudinal components of the subjective experience of binge eating. Each item is assessed based on 1 of 4 responses, with 1 denoting that a participant has greater control over eating behavior and 4 denoting that a participant had less control over eating behavior. A total score (sum of the 16 items) may range from 16-64. A lower score indicates greater control over eating behavior.

The FrSBe is a 46-item self-rating scale designed to measure the neurobehavioral traits associated with the 3 primary regions of the prefrontal cortex. Participants were asked to indicate the frequency with which they have engaged in certain behaviors using a rating scale from "1" (almost never) to "5" (almost always). Summary scores were calculated and converted to t-score. A decrease from baseline in FrSBe total score represents improvement.

It consists of a 5-item descriptive system that measures 5 dimensions of health, including mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression.
