Effects of Behavioral Interventions on Weight Loss & Weight Maintenance

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of the study is to examine the extent to which diet/lifestyle change programs with a multidisciplinary team (consisting of a dietician, physician and behaviorist/health coach) that develop healthy behaviors before creating a calorie deficit for weight loss will result in greater weight loss and a longer duration of weight maintenance. It intends to compare the extent of weight loss and weight maintenance in participants who will undergo calorie restriction without prior behavioral interventions to participants that will undergo behavioral interventions prior to starting calorie restriction.

Clinical Trial Description

OPTIFAST is a medically supervised weight loss and weight management program that involves a complete meal replacement followed by a gradual introduction of foods after dietary education. The resources offered through this program are through a physician, registered dietitian and behaviorist, including a psychologist.

UPMC Prescription for Wellness is an innovative physician/provider prescribed coaching and feedback program that improves patient engagement and outcomes in healthy behaviors; self-care of chronic disease and condition management; and shared decision-making. The resources available through this program are offered via a telephonic health coach, online or through a digital intervention based on the participant's convenience.

It intends to compare the extent of weight loss and weight maintenance in participants who will undergo calorie restriction without prior behavioral interventions to participants that will undergo behavioral interventions prior to starting calorie restriction.

Behavioral interventions will first be provided by UPMC Prescription for Wellness prior to starting OPTIFAST. Calorie restriction will be during the OPTIFAST Program. The participants will be actively recruited by the study team at the Center for Diabetes and Metabolism (CDE) at the Falk Clinic in Oakland, Pittsburgh. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
