NCT00391196
The purpose of this study is to determine if CP-945,598 is effective in the treatment of obesity in type 2 diabetic patients.
NCT00029848
To assess the effect on weight loss and weight maintenance over a period of one year when prescribed with a hypocaloric diet in obese patients with Type 2 Diabetes
NCT01224548
The purpose of this study is to study the potential benefits of low fat vegan diet in a randomized, controlled and multi-centered workplace setting, the investigators will enroll participants from 10 worksites of Government Employee Insurance Company (GEICO). After randomization, 5 will be the vegan sites and 5 will be the control sites for 10 month study. The vegan sites will receive low fat vegan diet instructions and weekly group sessions starting from year 1. no intervention is done to the control sites until the week 18 when the identical program will be given. At various time points, health measurements will be give to all participants.
NCT00375401
The purpose of this study is to examine the long-term weight loss and safety of CP-945,598 in obese adults
NCT00779519
Multiple pathways including peripheral and central hormones and neurotransmitters are involved in the regulation of food intake and body weight. One of the most studied pathways involves the melanocortin receptor. Agouti-related protein (AgRP) and alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alphaMSH)have been shown to play an integral role in food intake and body weight. It is reasonable to speculate that if there is an imbalance of alphaMSH and AgRP exist in obese individuals and inhibiting the activity of AgRP may be of therapeutic benefit in treating obesity.
NCT00483171
The purpose of this study is to determine if CP-945,598 is effective in the prevention of weight regain in obese subjects.
NCT00200018
The purpose of this study is to test the effect of an implanted device that stimulates the stomach on weight loss in patients suffering from obesity and type 2 diabetes.
NCT00547482
The main purpose of this research study is to investigate whether the TANTALUS II System is effective in improving glycemic (blood sugar) control in subjects who have type 2 diabetes (high blood sugar) and are overweight. The research will also evaluate the impact on weight loss and will study other health conditions related to obesity. This research study involves an experimental system. The experimental system is the TANTALUS System, which consists of the implantable portion that includes the implantable pulse generator (IPG) and three pairs of implantable leads. There are also three external parts (items that are used outside your body): the programmer, the charger, and the Patient Wand.
NCT00661245
The TOGA® trial is a prospective, multi-center, randomized sham-controlled trial designed to determine the safety and effectiveness of the TOGA System for the treatment of morbid obesity. The study will also determine the effect of the treatment on co-morbidities and quality of life. Subjects will be blinded to treatment or sham. Sham arm may crossover to TOGA treatment at 12 months.
NCT00209482
This study will determine if the drug metformin, coupled with diet and exercise counseling, will help obese adolescents lose weight.
NCT00932516
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the South Beach Diet™ and South Beach Diet™ products compared to a traditional calorie restricted diet.
NCT00449202
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of two 14-day cycles of escalating oral doses of MP 101 in 100 obese adult subjects.
NCT00134199
To evaluate the effect of 6-month administration of CP-945,598 on: * weight loss and waist circumference, * blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose * other biochemical variables like insulin, leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, PAI 1, TNF-α and hsCRP * the relationship between the concentration of the drug on the blood and the above parameters * physical and psychosocial functioning, weight related symptoms, treatment satisfaction, appetite/hunger/satiety/craving and mood, anxiety, anhedonia and depression
NCT01545492
INTRODUCTION: CHIPS-Child is a parallel, ancillary study to the CHIPS randomized controlled trial (RCT). CHIPS is designed to determine whether 'less tight' control \[target diastolic BP (dBP) 100mmHg\] or 'tight' control \[target dBP 85mmHg\] of non-proteinuric hypertension in pregnancy is better for the baby without increasing maternal risk. CHIPS-Child is a follow up study at 12 m corrected post-gestational age (± 2 m) limited to non-invasive examination \[anthropometry, hair cortisol, buccal swabs for epigenetic testing and a maternal questionnaire about infant feeding practices and background\]. Annual contact will be maintained in years 2-5 and contact will include annual parental measurement of the child's height, weight and waist circumference. OBJECTIVE: To directly test, for the first time in humans, whether differential blood pressure (BP) control in pregnancy has developmental programming effects, independent of birthweight. We predict that, like famine or protein malnutrition, 'tight' (vs. 'less tight') control of maternal BP will be associated with fetal under-nutrition and effects will be consistent with developmental programming.
