NCT07452757
This is an open-label, four-arm, randomized, controlled clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a structured Weight Management Program (WMP) in overweight and obese adults with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 23 kg/m² (Asian Indian ethnicity cut-off). A total of 140 subjects will be enrolled and randomized equally into four arms: one control arm and three intervention arms with varying levels of nutritional intervention. The Weight Management Program comprises three sequential phases: a pre-engagement gut-reset phase (10 days), an intensive intervention phase (30 days), and a maintenance phase (60 days). The intervention arms will receive combinations of meal replacements, protein supplements, fiber supplements, probiotics, and multivitamin-multimineral supplements, along with nutritional and behavioral counseling, calorie-deficit diet plans, and prescribed physical activity. The control arm will follow a free-living lifestyle without intervention. The primary efficacy outcome is the proportion of subjects demonstrating a reduction in body weight and/or BMI from baseline to the end of the intensive phase. Secondary outcomes include changes in body weight and BMI at the end of the maintenance phase, maintenance of weight loss, changes in body composition, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, lipid profile, metabolic parameters, physical activity, quality of life, and safety outcomes including adverse events. The study aims to generate evidence on the effectiveness and safety of a holistic, lifestyle-based weight management program incorporating nutritional supplementation, dietary modification, physical activity, and behavioral support in overweight and obese individuals.
NCT07467447
Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating once-weekly subcutaneous retatrutide (LY3437943) at multiple maintenance dose levels versus placebo in adults with obesity or overweight with weight-related comorbidities (without type 2 diabetes), alongside standardized diet and physical activity counseling.
NCT05326477
Socioceconomically disadvantaged individuals typically have poor outcomes in behavioral weight loss interventions, but the reasons for this are unknown. This project will characterize the mechanisms through which adverse daily experiences and present bias -- a cognitive adaptation to harsh and unpredictable environments -- account for disparities in weight loss outcomes.
NCT07464691
This study will explore how a natural food ingredient called oligofructose affects blood glucose levels, lipid profiles, inflammation biomarkers, and gut bacteria in Saudi adults with type 2 diabetes. Oligofructose is a type of dietary fiber found in foods such as onions, garlic, and bananas. It is known to help the growth of "good" bacteria in the intestine, which may improve digestion and metabolism. A total of 100 adults (50 with type 2 diabetes and 50 without diabetes) will take part in this research. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either oligofructose or a placebo twice daily for 12 weeks. Blood tests will be done at the beginning and at weeks 4, 8, and 12 to check changes in blood glucose, lipid profiles, and inflammation. The goal of this study is to find out whether adding oligofructose to the diet can help people with diabetes improve their blood glucose control, reduce inflammation, and support a healthier balance of gut bacteria.
NCT07465341
The main purpose of this study is to determine whether people who participate in MiWeigh lose more weight than people who receive information about weight loss strategies and programs. The researchers also want to learn what parts of the program do and do not work and why. If the program is effective, the researchers want to learn how other health care systems could offer this program. The overarching aim of the MiWeigh Study is to better help patients prevent, manage, or reverse obesity-related chronic conditions.
NCT07213466
The goal of this clinical trial is to identify the specific characteristics (phenotypes) that may be useful to help select the right medication for weight loss, and to study the effect of individualized guided medication in patients with bipolar disorder ages 18-65. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can the investigators compare the distribution of obesity characteristics (hungry brain, hungry gut, emotional hunger) between bipolar patients and non-bipolar participants (comparing from IRB #24-002375)? * Can the investigators evaluate the feasibility of anti-obesity medication (AOM) in patients with bipolar disorder? Participation will last for about 20 weeks and includes 8 in-person study visits, up to 11 phone call visits, and 13 virtual group therapy sessions. The first visit lasts about 2 hours and includes going over the informed consent form, a diagnostic interview to confirm diagnosis, gathering vital signs, mood questionnaires, an ECG, a blood draw, and urine drug and pregnancy tests (if applicable). The second visit lasts about 6-7 hours and involves multiple procedures and completing questionnaires to determine which study drug would allow participants to lose weight most effectively. At the third visit, participants will be assigned to take one of three FDA approved medications for weight loss: Semaglutide (Wegovy®), Naltrexone/Bupropion (Contrave®), or Phentermine/Topiramate (Qsymia®). It is possible that participants could be assigned to a group that receives no study medication. All participants will be enrolled in a 12-week virtual group therapy program targeted for weight loss. On this third visit the investigators will also gather vital signs, and participants will give a sample of blood. After the third visit, participants will come in for study visits every 4 weeks for 20 weeks (5 visits) to assess medication adherence, vitals, and answer questions about mood and eating (participants will also give a sample of blood at the 8-week and 20-week visits). For participants assigned to a study medication, the study team will call every week for the first 2 months (excluding in-person visit weeks) to assess mood and safety. After the first 2 months, the study team will call the participant every two weeks in between in-person visits. Participants will be compensated for time spent in this study. Participants assigned to a study medication will also be given the option to participate in the open-label phase of the study, which involves 3 follow-up visits (weeks 24, 36, and 48) over 7 months after the 20-week trial. During this phase, participants can continue to take the medication through their clinical care provider.
NCT06578091
This study was planned to examine the effect of executive function problems on physical performance and general well-being in obese individuals.
NCT07460856
The consumption of plant-based foods, particularly berries, has been associated with improved health due to their high content of bioactive compounds. Among these, polyphenols-especially proanthocyanidins (PACs)-may offer protective effects against chronic diseases related to overweight and obesity. Cranberries are naturally rich in PACs and may positively influence metabolic health by modulating the gut microbiota. However, their specific effects on intestinal integrity and broader metabolic outcomes remain underexplored. The primary aim of this study is to assess the effects of cranberry supplementation on glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, blood lipid levels, and the composition and function of the gut microbiota in overweight and obese individuals. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial will include two 12-week intervention periods-one with a cranberry beverage and one with a placebo-separated by a 4-week washout period and preceded by a 2-week lifestyle stabilization phase. Participants will undergo comprehensive metabolic assessments (glucose control, insulin sensitivity, lipid profile), body composition analysis, gut microbiota profiling, and liver fat imaging (MRI in a subsample of female participants). Additional evaluations will include markers of inflammation, appetite regulation, intestinal health, and lifestyle factors.
NCT07461740
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of mindful eating training on mindful eating behaviors and hedonic hunger levels in adults with obesity. The primary research questions are as follows: * Does mindful eating training combined with a weight loss diet improve mindful eating behaviors? * Does mindful eating training combined with a weight loss diet reduce hedonic hunger levels? * Does mindful eating training combined with a weight loss diet lead to changes in anthropometric measurements? Researchers compared participants receiving a weight loss diet alone (control group) with those receiving mindful eating training in addition to a weight loss diet (intervention group) to determine differences in mindful eating behaviors, hedonic hunger scores, and anthropometric measurements. Participants who are already enrolled in a weight loss diet program was invited to participate in a mindful eating training program.
NCT07460544
This study is testing whether improving health in girls during the prepubertal period may slow the onset of puberty. This study will focus on prepubertal girls who have a high weight status (at or above the 85th percentile for body mass index). Half of the girls who join the study will participate in a treatment program to reduce weight and improve lifestyle behaviors, and half of the girls will participate in a control condition. The frequency of pubertal onset will be compared across the groups. This research is important because girls who experience puberty at an earlier age are at risk for poor psychological and physical health. Girls in the treatment condition will participate in the Family Based Treatment (FBT) program, an established treatment for children who are overweight or obese. Families attend 20 weekly sessions (30 minutes each) over a 5-month period. Sessions are led by a trained interventionist and focus on healthy eating and physical activity behaviors. Girls in the control condition will receive their usual medical care through their pediatric care doctor or other care provider. Families will also receive educational handouts about 1 time per month, addressing topics related to healthy eating and physical activity behaviors. Families in both the treatment and control conditions will participate in assessments conducted at baseline and approximately 6-, 12-, 18-, 24-, 30-, and 36 months follow-up. These assessments are led by a data collector and include the measurement of height and weight, pubertal status, and health behaviors.
NCT07461610
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether routine stool tests can detect changes in gut function 6 months after two common types of weight loss surgery: sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass (including mini gastric bypass and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass). The main questions it aims to answer are: Do stool tests show more signs of undigested food or carbohydrate malabsorption after gastric bypass compared to sleeve gastrectomy? Do signs of gut inflammation in stool (like fecal calprotectin) decrease after surgery, and does this relate to improvements in blood sugar and weight loss? Can simple stool test results at 6 months predict how much weight a person loses or how well their diabetes improves? Researchers will compare stool test results between the two surgery groups (sleeve gastrectomy vs. gastric bypass) to see if the type of surgery leads to different changes in gut health. Participants will: Provide a stool sample before surgery and again 6 months after surgery Provide a blood sample at the same time points to measure weight, blood sugar, and cholesterol Undergo their planned weight loss surgery as part of their regular medical care
NCT07220772
This study is researching an experimental drug called mibavademab. The study is focused on patients with a condition called monogenic obesity. Monogenic obesity is caused by a change in the leptin gene that keeps it from working properly. This causes the body to not be able to feel full or control feelings of hunger. The aim of the study is to see how well mibavademab controls the body weight and how safe it is. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * How much mibavademab is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes proteins called antibodies against mibavademab (which could stop mibavademab from working as well or could lead to side effects) * What side effects may happen from taking mibavademab
NCT02194387
This pilot clinical trial studies different types of energy balance interventions to see how well they work in increasing the physical activity levels of breast cancer gene-positive patients, Lynch syndrome-positive patients, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) survivors or family members of cancer survivors who are at high risk for cancer. Increasing exercise and eating healthy foods may help reduce the risk of cancer. Studying how well different types of interventions work in motivating cancer survivors or high-risk family members to increase exercise and healthy food choices may help doctors plan the most effective motivational program for cancer prevention.
NCT04907565
This research aims at describing the relationship between white adipose tissue inflammation and post-operative cognitive dysfunctions.The possible link between inflammatory cytokines secretions of the white adipose tissue of a surgical wound and the arising of patient's cognitive dysfunction in the post-operative course will be investigated. The hypothesis is that obese patient's inflammation of the white adipose tissue leads to cognitive dysfunction.
NCT07205913
In recent years, the global rise in obesity and type 2 diabetes has become a major public health issue. In New Caledonia, 38% of the adult population has a body mass index ≥30. At the same time, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes continues to rise steadily. The burden of these diseases does not affect communities uniformly. While known factors such as diet, physical activity, and socioeconomic conditions play a role, studies have demonstrated the involvement of the gut microbiota in the development of metabolic disorders, particularly obesity and insulin resistance. However, this area remains largely unexplored in New Caledonia and the Pacific.
NCT07225426
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of providing personalized incentives for dietary self-monitoring and/or interim weight loss to people enrolled in a weight-loss program
NCT07225686
This Phase 3 clinical trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of maridebart cafraglutide compared to placebo over a 52-week period in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are receiving positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy and are living with overweight or obesity.
NCT05371496
The purpose of this research is to find out if an aggressive intervention to lose weight, will improve symptoms in patients with obesity-related cardiomyopathy, which is also known as the obese phenotype of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
NCT07455630
Obesity is a major public health problem worldwide and an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In individuals with obesity or overweight, systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction contribute to myocardial hypertrophy, ventricular remodeling, and alterations in cardiac morphology and function. Weight loss has been shown to improve metabolic and hemodynamic parameters; however, evidence regarding structural and functional cardiac reversibility remains limited. This prospective single-center cohort study aims to evaluate changes in cardiac morphology and function (assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography), as well as changes in inflammatory and cardiac biomarkers, in patients with obesity or overweight and cardiovascular risk factors who achieve at least a 10% reduction in body weight through pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions.
NCT07153172
The study looks at the safety and blood levels of the study drug INV-347 in participants who were previously dosed with INV-347 in study INV-CL-108. Participants will not get any study drug in this study as it looks into the safety of a drug previously dosed. The study will last until visit 21.
