149 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This cohort study aims to assess the comparative effectiveness of tirzepatide versus semaglutide with respect to cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
This is a Phase 3a, randomized, parallel-controlled trial designed to compare the early re-initiation of semaglutide, starting two weeks after sleeve gastrectomy, to standard care (no pharmacotherapy following surgery). The trial will involve 150 youth with severe obesity who have been on semaglutide 2.4 mg weekly for at least 3 months prior to surgery. Participants will be randomized to either (1) semaglutide 2.4 mg weekly or (2) standard care for 24 months. Primary, secondary, and tertiary outcomes will be assessed at multiple time points: 1-month, day of surgery, and 1-, 3-, 6-, 9-, 12-, 18-, and 24-months postoperatively. We hypothesize that early re-initiation of semaglutide will be safe, well-tolerated, and lead to greater improvements in obesity, cardiometabolic risk, and eating behaviors.
The recent introduction of the new generation of anti-obesity medications (AOMs) will change the future of obesity treatment. These highly effective medications, such as high-dose semaglutide and tirzepatide, are hormone analogues that augment the incretin function and exert multiple physiological effects by activating glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and/or glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) distributed in various organs. These medications provide an average of 15-22% weight reduction in one-year trials, which had not been seen in the past with medical therapy. While the literature suggests that bariatric surgery is superior to these new highly effective medications, there is no head-to-head comparison between the most common bariatric operations (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass \[RYGB\] and sleeve gastrectomy \[SG\]) with semaglutide (once weekly) and tirzepatide (once weekly). The goal of this Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) is to compare these effective therapies in patients with severe obesity to provide the best evidence to inform clinical decisions in treating patients with obesity.
The is a pilot, 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial of individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) newly initiating buprenorphine to receive either weekly injections of semaglutide (n=23) or matching placebo (n=23). The primary aim is to determine the effects of semaglutide on cue-reactivity among individuals with OUD. The secondary aim is to assess the preliminary efficacy, safety, and tolerability of semaglutide for OUD.
The study plans to learn more about what happens to the body after bariatric surgery in people 12 to 24 years old. The study aims to understand why people respond differently to bariatric surgery and how to define success beyond weight loss alone. The study also plans to learn more about whether a medication (semaglutide) can help people 12 to 24 years old who, between 1 and 2 years after bariatric surgery, have not lost as much weight as expected.
This trial will examine the effect of semaglutide 2.4mg on changes in body weight, body composition, and peripheral and central mechanisms that control appetite, satiety, and food intake in the context of smoking cessation.
Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a problematic pattern of alcohol use accompanied by clinically significant medical consequences. Medications can help most people reduce their drinking, but the number is limited, and additional treatment options are needed. Objective: To test if a medication named Semaglutide is safe and may reduce alcohol drinking in people with AUD. Who can participate? All Adults aged 18 or older with AUD might be eligible to participate in the study. What will happen during the study? Participants will visit the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) in Baltimore once a week for about 20 weeks (5 months). Each visit will last between 2 and 6 hours depending on the tasks scheduled for that visit. Participants will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to receive either Semaglutide or placebo. A placebo looks just like a real drug but contains no medicine. The study medication is given as a shot under the skin each week. Participants will undergo different tests throughout the study: They will give blood, urine, and saliva samples. They will engage in self-paced behavioral therapy on a computer. They will answer questions about their mood, diet, alcohol drinking and craving, tobacco use, etc. They will taste several sweet liquids and tell their preferences. They will sit in a bar-like room and be exposed to cues that might make them feel the urge to eat food or drink alcohol. They will wear a virtual reality headset that creates a cafeteria setting. They will walk the virtual cafeteria and choose food and drinks from a buffet. They will have a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scan to take pictures of their brain. During the scans, participants will be shown pictures of alcohol-containing drinks, food, and other items.They will perform tasks on a computer screen. Participants will have a follow-up visit about 7 weeks after their last shot.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if semaglutide, when compared to placebo, is safe and may reduce alcohol drinking in individuals who endorse symptoms consistent with alcohol use disorder.
Girls and women 12-35 years old with obesity and polycystic ovarian syndrome who are on or off metformin, will receive a glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonist intervention for 10 months to induce metabolic changes, weight loss and improve reproductive abnormalities.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether semaglutide, an FDA-approved treatment for diabetes and obesity, is feasible and tolerable in patients with advanced lung disease. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: 1. Are patients with advanced lung disease able to tolerate semaglutide therapy? 2. Are we able to titrate semaglutide therapy to a target weight? Participants will be asked to perform pulmonary function, physical function and body composition testing, as well as a blood draw before and after 12-weeks of semaglutide therapy. While on therapy, subjects will be surveyed regarding any adverse events or side effects.

This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial designed to assess the effect of the GLP-1 receptor agonist, semaglutide, on visceral and ectopic fat, insulin resistance, inflammation markers, and the downstream effect of cardiovascular risk in people with HIV. The primary endpoints will be visceral and ectopic fat changes over the study period. The secondary endpoints will include changes in markers of inflammation, immune activation, gut integrity, and cardiovascular disease risk assessment.
This pilot randomized trial will assess the impact of 12 weeks of semaglutide administration (vs placebo) on changes in: (i) tobacco use and related factors (nicotine craving, withdrawal, motivation to quit, etc.) and (ii) biological biomarkers of health (e.g., epigenetics, glucose variability via continuous glucose monitoring \[CGM\], etc.) in adult smokers with obesity (n = 40). We will integrate molecular biology procedures (e.g., epigenetics) to maximize internal validity with real-world smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) surveys to maximize external validity
This will be a phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled. This study will be conducted in three periods: the screening period, the treatment period, and the follow-up period.
Investigators are building an empirical evidence base for real-world data through large-scale emulation of randomized controlled trials. The investigators' goal is to understand for what types of clinical questions real world data analyses can be conducted with confidence and how to implement such studies.
The purpose of this study is to measure the change in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) with LY3457263 compared with placebo in participants with type 2 diabetes who are not at HbA1c goal when treated with a stable dose of semaglutide or tirzepatide. Participation in the study will last about 9 months.

This is a study to understand if taking VTX3232 alone or in combination with semaglutide is safe in participants diagnosed with Obesity. Approximately 160 patients will take VTX3232 Dose A, Placebo, VTX3232 Dose A in combination with semaglutide, or Placebo in combination with semaglutide. This study consists of a 30-day Screening Period (to see if a participant qualifies for a study), a 12-week double-blind treatment period (a participant receives VTX3232 Dose A, Placebo, VTX3232 Dose A in combination with semaglutide, or Placebo in combination with semaglutide), and a 30-day Follow-Up Period. The maximum duration of treatment will be approximately 12 weeks.
This study will compare the blood levels of cagrilintide and semaglutide when the same dose is given in two different versions of CagriSema. CagriSema is a medicine that combines two medicines called cagrilintide and semaglutide. It is still being tested in studies and is not yet available for doctors to prescribe. Participants will get an injection with each of the two versions of CagriSema at two different times at the clinic. Like all medicines, the study medicine may have side effects. The study will last for about 18 weeks.
The goal of this study is to learn what happens in a person's body over time when they take enlicitide decanoate and semaglutide alone or at the same time. Enlicitide decanoate is a new medicine that lowers the amount of cholesterol in a person's blood. Semaglutide is a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes. Researchers want to learn what happens to the amount of semaglutide and enlicitide decanoate in a person's blood when each drug is taken alone and when they are taken together.
The study compares the effectiveness of treatment options for weight management after discontinuing semaglutide and tirzepatide. The primary outcome is absolute and percentage weight change at 12-weeks.
This is a proof-of-concept study to assess the safety and efficacy of Nimacimab Injection compared to an active and placebo injection control.
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.
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, primarily used for treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus. GLP-1 receptors are present on pancreatic islet β-cells, δ-cells and α-cells. Their stimulation increases insulin and somatostatin secretion, and decreases glucagon secretion. In addition, GLP-1 receptor agonists appear to have multiple extrapancreatic actions, which remain poorly defined. In large clinical trials, semaglutide improved the outcomes in obese patients, patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and decreased the heart failure hospitalizations in patients with type 2 diabetes. The aim of the present study is to investigate the underlying mechanisms of the beneficial clinical effects of semaglutide in the setting of chronic heart failure.
The goal of the study is to learn how a weight loss medication called semaglutide, which is used to treat obesity, in addition to standard AF treatment might affect AF, atrial fibrillation severity, and whether it changes the risk of atrial fibrillation recurring after standard AF treatments.
