129 Clinical Trials for Weight Loss
The objective of this study is to assess self-reported gastrointestinal (GI) responses to three snack bars containing fiber/fiber blends vs. a control snack bar for 7 days each in adults using GLP-1 agonists.
This study will look at how well CagriSema helps people living with obesity to lose weight and maintain the weight loss long-term. The study has 2 parts: The first part is called 'the main study' and the second part is called 'the extension study'. In the main study participants will either get CagriSema (a study medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine that looks like CagriSema but has no active ingredient). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants are two times more likely to get CagriSema than placebo. If participants get CagriSema in the main study, participants will continue on CagriSema in the extension study. Which dose of CagriSema participants will continue on is decided by chance. If participants get placebo in the main study, participants will get CagriSema in the extension study. Participants will take one injection of study medicine once a week. The study will last for about 3 years and 3 months.
The goal of this study is to see if adding hands-on cooking classes to a weight management program (called Chef-ID) helps young adults with intellectual disabilities lose more weight and keep it off compared to a standard weight loss program. The study will last 24 months and include three phases: 6 months of active support, 12 months of maintenance, and 6 months with no contact. The investigators will look at how much weight participants lose over the first 18 months. Changes in cooking skills, body fat, health markers (like blood pressure and cholesterol), daily living skills, and caregiver stress will be tracked. Finally, factors that might help or prevent weight loss, and how changes in weight and body fat are linked to overall health will be explored. This research will help inform on how to better support healthy lifestyles for people with intellectual disabilities.
The aging population is rapidly increasing, and it is important to identify dietary factors that can prevent disease and promote health in this group. Legumes, such as peanuts, are a plant-based food high in protein and unsaturated fat making this a healthy choice but are not consumed frequently enough in older adults. Studies have shown that regular nut consumption is associated with lower adiposity and reduced weight gain, and several dietary pattern studies indicate that nuts and legumes are associated with better bone health. In addition, our preliminary translational data indicates that a higher monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) intake is associated with improved bone mineral density (BMD) and quality. Given these findings, the proposed study aims to examine the impact of consuming peanut products on bone health, metabolic health (e.g., serum glucose, insulin, lipids and inflammation), markers of brain and sleep health, and physical function in overweight and obese older adults before and after a six-month weight loss intervention using a randomized controlled design. The results of this study have the potential to provide valuable insights into the role of peanuts as a sources of fatty acids in promoting health and preventing disease in at-risk adults.
This study is being done to understand how oncologists can engage a multidisciplinary team to help endometrial cancer survivors with obesity to engage in a weight management program and potentially start a weight loss medication. Obesity often impacts the future health and longevity of early-stage endometrial cancer survivors more than their cancer diagnosis. Patients will be referred to the KUMC OB/Gyn weight management clinic to discuss weight management options. * If patients decide to use medications for weight loss, then the study will collect data from their chart that is recorded as part of routine monitoring for patients on weight loss medications. * If patients decide not to use any medications, the study will monitor physical exam and lab data collected as part of their routine medical care. The study will also try to understand reasons why patients did or did not start using a weight loss medication.
The purpose of this trial is to compare two delivery formats for weight loss (automated online program vs. group-based videoconference program) and to examine the added effect of individual coaching (vs. no coaching) for individuals with overweight or obesity. All participants enrolled in this study will receive a 12-month behavioral weight loss program (varying in delivery format and individual support), and will be provided with weight loss, calorie intake, and exercise goals. Assessments will occur at baseline, 6 (mid-treatment), 12 (post-treatment), and 18 months (following 6 months of no intervention). We will also seek to determine which combination of intervention approaches works best for whom and develop algorithms which can be used to refer patients into remote programs in clinical settings or future trials.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with AZD9550 when given in combination with AZD6234 as once weekly subcutaneous (SC) injections is superior to placebo or either agent administered as monotherapy for weight loss in participants living with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related co-morbidity.
The purpose of study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Mayo Clinic Diet in clinically significant weight loss (\>5%) versus usual care. We also wish to evaluate the feasibility, barriers to completion, and sustainability of this intervention at the 24, and 52-week marks. Lastly, we aim to study the change in participants body composition and quality of life at the end of this intervention.
This is a prospective, pragmatic, 21 month, single-center, randomized, 2-phased, open-label, parallel-group trial comparing the use of enhanced lifestyle changes (ELC) in two different sequential anti obesity medication (AOM) therapies. The ELC consists of a medically-supervised and comprehensive weight loss program (Cleveland Clinic's Department of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism's Integrated Weight Management Program). In the first phase (9 months) of the study, all participants will receive tirzepatide 15 mg (option #1) or semaglutide 2.4 mg if tirzepatide is not tolerated. In the second phase, after completing 9 months of tirzpeatide or semaglutide, participants will continue ELC and will be randomly assigned to a different oral AOM therapy for another 12 months: group 1 (phentermine-topiramate or naltrexone-bupropion) or group 2 (orlistat). The primary endpoint will be the percentage weight loss at 21 months compared to weight loss at 9 months. The goal will be to show superiority of the arm receiving ELC plus AOM therapy (phentermine-topiramate or naltrexone-bupropion) when compared to the other AOM therapy group (orlistat). Secondary and exploratory endpoints will include percentage of fat mass loss, lean muscle mass, functional capacity, muscle strength and compliance to enhanced lifestyle changes. Informed consent will be obtained. IRB approval of the study will be obtained.
The goal of this observational study is to learn if surgical weight loss can improve chronic widespread pain in people living with higher BMI who self-identify as Hispanic/Latino ethnicity or non-Hispanic Black based on the United States census racial categories. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. Do pain at rest (primary outcome) and movement-evoked pain (secondary outcome) improve after bariatric surgery? 2. Do pain processing and joint function change after bariatric surgery? 3. Are pain processing and joint function associated with clinically significant pain change after surgical weight loss? Researchers will compare pain and function before and 6 months after bariatric surgery in a single cohort.
The purpose of this study is to find out what combination of components, if any, offers the best support for keeping weight off after someone loses weight. Long term weight loss maintenance is a challenge for many people who lose weight. There are many strategies, or components, people may use to avoid regain, but investigators do not know if there is a best, or optimal, combination of such components that can be done without adding a lot of cost or other burdens for people. * The primary goal of this clinical trial is to identify the optimal package that maximizes weight loss maintenance. * The study also wants to understand the reasons why these components may work and if certain components help specific sub-groups of people. Participants will engage in a 16-week Phase 1 Weight Loss Program. Participants who lose 5% or more of their weight during that program will continue to Phase 2 Extended Care and be randomly assigned to 0, 1, 2, 3, or all of four methods of weight loss maintenance. They will use their assigned package for 12 months. Researchers will compare 16 different possible combinations of components and learn which of the 16 packages offers the best support for keeping weight off. The four components participants could be assigned to in Phase 2 are: 1. Reduced Food Variety: Limiting the variety of foods participants eat by having them choose a few high-calorie, low nutrient foods to eat regularly 2. Home-based Resistance Training: Engaging in exercises that build strength from the comfort of the participant's own home 3. Buddy Training and Support: Having a friend or "buddy" get trained to support the participant 4. Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Workshops: Having participants learn skills to handle tough thoughts and feelings about weight control in a healthy way Participants will have their weight measured and complete surveys 4 times if they complete both Phase 1 and Phase 2. During Phase 1, participants will attend weekly group sessions and be in touch with a study staff member investigators call a Wellness Coach. During Phase 2, participants will stay in touch with their Wellness Coach, use their assigned package, and answer questions about their experience periodically.
This study will look at how well CagriSema helps people with obesity lose weight compared to a "dummy medicine". CagriSema is a new medicine developed by Novo Nordisk. CagriSema cannot yet be prescribed by doctors. The study has two parts: First part is called the main phase and will last for 2 years, and second part is called the extension phase and will last for 1 year. In the main phase participants will either get CagriSema or "dummy medicine". Which treatment participants get is decided by chance and is not known by participants or the study doctor. In the extension phase participants will get either CagriSema or slowly reduce participants dose of CagriSema if participants had CagriSema in the main phase. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance and is not known by participants or the study doctor in both phases. If participants had "dummy medicine" in the main phase, participants will get CagriSema in the extension phase. Like all medicines, the study medicine may have side effects.
Changes in adipose tissue biology are now recognized as a key factor underlying the increased risk of metabolic and cardiovascular disease with obesity. Clinical interest in adipocyte-derived extracellular vesicles (Ad-EVs) has intensified due to their potential as circulating biomarkers of adipose tissue health and systemic messengers, regulators and mediators of cardiometabolic health and disease with obesity. The investigators hypothesize that elevated Ad-EVs in adults with obesity will be negatively associated with endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Furthermore, the investigators hypothesize that in adults with obesity, intentional weight loss-induced reduction in circulating Ad-EVs is associated with greater endothelium-dependent vasodilation.
The researchers are doing this study is to find out whether tirzepatide and semaglutide are practical (feasible) for weight management and blood sugar control for endometrial cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The researchers will also look at participants' experience with the study drug, the safety of taking the study drug while receiving chemotherapy, and changes in weight, body fat composition, and blood pressure of participants.
This study examines whether adding tirzepatide-a medication that helps with weight loss-after sleeve gastrectomy surgery can help people lose more weight after the surgery; better improve conditions like Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and sleep apnea after surgery and; whether this causes more complications or side effects compared to surgery alone.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the best combination of family components that yields optimal weight loss among Black adults. The main question it aims to answer is: What combination of four family components in combination with a standard behavioral weight loss program yields optimal weight loss among Black adults? Researchers will compare different combinations of family skills components (communication content, cohesion content, number of sessions, and mode of delivery) to see the best weight loss. Participants will: * Participate in a 6-month behavioral weight loss intervention * Attend core weight loss in-person group sessions, and dyad based family sessions * Keep track of weight, dietary intake and physical activity
The researchers are doing this study to see if people with unexplained weight loss who have lung cancer screening are more likely to have or develop lung cancer than people without unexplained weight loss. The lung cancer screening will involve use of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), a CT scan that gives off very low doses of radiation and can make detailed pictures of the lungs to help find tumors. The study researchers will also analyze participants' blood samples to determine if blood testing can be used to help to diagnose lung cancer.
It is not known whether a new diabetes drug, semaglutide, is an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes for persons with spinal cord injury (SCI), a population at higher risk for this condition. Therefore, this study looks at the effect of semaglutide on glucose levels in the body and other information about type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Examine the association between variability in individual stress and related concepts with weight loss, physical activity, and sleep across a behavioral weight loss program
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether adding yoga exercise to a behavioral weight loss intervention improves weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity. It will also provide information about whether this approach to weight loss has additional benefits on other health and fitness measurements. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there a difference in weight loss between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in how much physical activity is completed between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in the change in body composition (fat mass, lean body mass) between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in the change in cardiorespiratory fitness the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in the change in muscle strength between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in the change in resting blood pressure between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in the change in food intake or eating behaviors between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in the change in feelings of stress or mood between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in the change in sleep between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in the change in mindfulness between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? Participants will: * Participate in a weight loss program for a period of 12 months that involves attending behavioral weight loss sessions. This involves coming to a session at the research center weekly for the initial 6 months and then every other week for the remaining 6 months. * Attempt to reduce the amount of food that they eat to reduce the calories they consume. * Participate in a combination of aerobic exercise plus yoga or just aerobic exercise. * Keep a record of the food they consume, use a digital scale provided to them, and wear an activity tracker provided to them for the period of 12 months. * Visit the clinical before starting the weight loss program, after 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months to complete measurements of their weight and other measurements to monitor their progress. * Complete exercise sessions in the clinic between weeks 2-6, at month 6, and at month 12 to provide information about how they response to a single session of exercise.
The study is testing how well semaglutide can help adolescents with excess body weight to lose weight and to maintain weight loss. All participants in the study will receive semaglutide as a weekly injection. The study medicine is injected with a thin needle in the stomach, thighs or upper arms. All participants will get semaglutide treatment for a minimum of 3 years.
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of tirzepatide in achieving a 5% or more body weight reduction in patients undergoing adjuvant treatment for hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative (HR+/Her2-) breast cancer. The study will also assess the safety and tolerability of tirzepatide, its feasibility based on discontinuation rates, and completion of treatment. Secondary objectives include evaluating 3-year invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) and distant relapse-free survival (DRFS), changes in BMI and body fat distribution, metabolic markers, and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).
This trial aims to asses if tirzepatide-induced weight loss will lead to metabolic and hormonal changes in hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor-negative (HER2-), node-positive (N+) high risk early breast cancer patients with obesity or overweight, inhibiting the growth and survival of micrometastatic disease and leading to clearance of tumor-informed circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and freedom from the development of metastatic disease.
This study is being done to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a time-restricted eating intervention among postpartum women with overweight/obesity.
Fractyl is evaluating Revita Duodenal Mucosal Resurfacing (DMR) in the REMAIN-1 pivotal study, which is designed to include two cohorts - an open label cohort referred to as REVEAL-1, and a randomized cohort, which includes both a midpoint analysis and a pivotal analysis. Patients who previously lost at least 15% of their body weight on a GLP-1 can qualify for the open label REVEAL-1 cohort. The data generated from the REVEAL-1 cohort will be used for open label reporting as the study progresses. The REMAIN-1 randomized cohort will enroll patients living with obesity and a body mass index ("BMI") between 30 and 45 kg/m2 who are not currently on a GLP-1 drug. Patients will be prescribed tirzepatide and titrated to achieve at least 15% total body weight loss, at which time tirzepatide will be discontinued and patients will be randomized to Revita versus sham at 2:1. Midpoint Analysis of Randomized Cohort: The midpoint analysis of the randomized cohort will be performed at three months of follow-up on approximately 45 patients, allowing us to assess and report on safety and efficacy signals that could be anticipated in the pivotal analysis. These patients are distinct from those included in the pivotal analysis. Pivotal Analysis of Randomized Cohort: The pivotal analysis of the randomized cohort will be performed on approximately 315 patients (distinct from those included in the midpoint analysis) and will evaluate safety and efficacy in the first co-primary endpoint, which is weight regain from the time of tirzepatide discontinuation in Revita DMR versus sham patients at six months, with a primary objective of demonstrating a benefit of Revita DMR versus sham for weight maintenance after GLP-1 discontinuation. The second co-primary endpoint evaluates a responder rate among the Revita DMR treated group at one year to demonstrate the durability of the Revita DMR procedure for weight maintenance after discontinuation of a GLP-1-based therapy. Secondary objectives will include evaluation of the effectiveness of the Revita DMR procedure on the change in blood glucose levels, cardiovascular disease ("CVD") risk factors, body composition and pre-diabetes status. All patients enrolled in the study will receive diet and lifestyle counseling.
The objective of the HELPLINE Weight Loss Program is to determine the comparative effectiveness of two active multi-component, augmented interventions for cancer survivors with overweight or obesity who do not achieve early weight loss goal in the initial intervention period (termed, early non-responders). The core study design is randomized controlled trial with adaptive intervention. 1. CORE Helpline in all participants (first 2 months) 2. Extended Helpline in early responders (additional 6 months) 3. Enhanced Helpline in early non-responders (additional 6 months) 4. Intensive Helpline in early non-responders (additional 6 months)
The purpose of this study is to construct a multi-site, prospective registry to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients who have undergone gastric fundus mucosal ablation at True You Weight Loss.
The purpose of this study is to construct a multi-site, prospective registry to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients who have undergone combined gastric mucosal ablation with endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty at True You Weight Loss.
Weight loss interventions for neurologically health individuals have established benefits for improving physical and psychosocial function. The investigators believe that Veterans who have had a stroke would realize similar benefits and that the effects would be enhanced with concurrent exercise training. The investigators will study the effects of a 15-week lifestyle management program to determine if it can effectively improve some of the physical and psychosocial problems common in Veterans who have had a stroke.
This study is researching experimental drugs called trevogrumab and garetosmab (called "study drugs") in combination with another drug, semaglutide (Wegovy®). This study will be done in 3 parts, Part A, Part B, and Part C where different study drugs will be tested. Part A of the study is focused on healthy participants. Part B and C of the study is focused on participants with obesity. The aim of Part A of the study is to see how safe and tolerable the study drug is in healthy participants. The aim of Part B and Part C of the study is to see how safe and effective the study drug is when combined with Wegovy. Parts A, B, and C of the study are looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking the study drug * How much study drug is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects)
