Filter by:1. Study Objective i) To evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of HSG4112 after single and multiple oral administration of high doses in healthy subjects. ii) To evaluate the food effect on the pharmacokinetic characteristics of HSG4112 after a single oral administration of 1200 mg (6 tablets of HSG4112 200 mg) in healthy subjects. 2. Background The previous phase 1 clinical trials investigating HSG4112 included dosage only up to 720 mg of HSG4112 in both healthy and obese subjects. Since obese patients have various comorbidities, unexpected drug interactions may occur due to concomitant drugs. Securing a 2- to 5-fold safety margin is needed to tolerate this issue. Therefore, this study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics and food effects of high-dose HSG4112 in healthy subjects. 3. Study Design and Plan <Part 1> This study is a randomized, open-label, single dosing, phase 1 clinical study. A unique randomization number will be assigned to each subject deemed eligible to participate in the study based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Each subject will be randomized to one of the two dose groups. 8 subjects will receive 800 mg of HSG4112 with a high-fat meal, and 12 subjects will be randomized to 2 different sequential groups. Each subject will receive a single dose of HSG4112 1200 mg via oral administration with a high-fat meal and in fasted condition, with a washout period of 21 days in between each dosing. When escalating the dose, the Investigator will review all of the available safety data from the preceding dose in a blinded manner to ensure if it is safe to escalate the dose. In order to evaluate safety and tolerability, assessments, such as vital signs, 12-lead ECG, laboratory test, pregnancy test, physical examination, and adverse event monitoring will be performed. Blood samples will be collected to evaluate the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of HSG4112. <Part 2> This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple dosing, phase 1 clinical study. A unique randomization number will be assigned to each subject deemed eligible to participate in the study based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Each subject will be randomized to one of the two dose groups (800 mg or 1200 mg of HSG4112). In each dose group, 6 subjects will be randomized to receive 800 mg of HSG4112, and 2 subjects will be randomized to receive placebo, both with a high-fat meal. The subjects will be studied in a double-blind manner and will receive the investigational product (i.e., HSG4112 or placebo) via once-daily oral administration for 14 days. When escalating the dose, the Investigator will review all of the available safety data from the preceding dose in a blinded manner to ensure if it is safe to escalate the dose. In order to evaluate safety and tolerability, assessments, such as vital signs, 12-lead ECG, laboratory test, pregnancy test, physical examination, and adverse event monitoring will be performed. Blood samples will be collected to evaluate the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of HSG4112.
The Snackability was a two-arm, 12-week randomized control trial among 272 overweight college students. Participants were equally randomized to the intervention group (access to the app) or control group (no access to the app). Diet and weight were assessed at baseline, at 4 weeks, at 8 weeks, and at 12 weeks.
This study is open to adults who have different levels of liver problems and adults who are healthy. People with or without overweight or obesity can take part. This study has 2 parts. The purpose of Part 1 is to find out whether having liver problems influences how BI 456906 is taken up in the body. The purpose of Part 2 is to find out whether having liver problems influences how people with overweight and obesity tolerate different doses of BI 456906. In Part 1, participants get a single injection of BI 456906 under their skin and stay at the study site for 2 nights afterwards. They are in the study for about a month. During this time, they visit the study site about 8 more times. The doctors compare the amount of BI 456906 in the blood of healthy people and people with liver problems. In Part 2, participants get 1 or 2 injections of BI 456906 once a week under their skin for 28 weeks. At the beginning, they get lower doses of BI 456906. Over time, they get higher doses until they reach a certain dose of BI 456906. This dose is then maintained until the end of the treatment. Participants in Part 2 are in the study for about 7 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 16 times and get about 15 phone calls from the site staff. The doctors record the number of people with health problems that could have been caused by treatment with BI 456906. They compare the results between participants with liver problems and those without liver problems. In both parts, doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY3841136 in healthy and overweight participants. Blood tests will be performed to check how much LY3841136 gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to eliminate it. This is a 2-part study and may last up to 14 and 28 weeks for each participant and may include 7 and 19 visits in parts A and B, respectively.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ALT-801 once-weekly versus placebo as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity in patients with obesity/overweight.
People with a body mass index above 28 kg/m² and an onset of type 2 diabetes within the last 4 years had a remission (HbA1c <6.5% without medication) of diabetes in over 80% upon weight loss of 15 kg. Longer duration of diabetes reduced the chance of remission. The investigators will test whether there is a difference in remission upon weight loss of 15 kg using formula low calorie diets between subjects with a diabetes duration of <4 years vs. >8 years and oral treatment as primary end points. The immune metabolic programming of circulating monocytes will be investigated in detail regarding trained innate immunity and the endocrine responses will be determined using meal challenge tests.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of 3 months supplementation of lyophilize dried cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) on women diagnosed with insulin resistance. The baseline and end biochemical parameters and anthropometric measurements will be compared with control subjects.
Pregnant patients with obesity are more likely to undergo induction of labor and have a higher risk of failed induction compared to patients with normal weight. The association between maternal obesity and labor dysfunction leading to cesarean delivery is poorly understood. Oxytocin is the mostly common medication used in induction of labor, yet optimal dosing of this medication is unknown. Studies have suggested that patients with obesity may be less responsive to oxytocin. This trial will compare a high and low dose oxytocin dosing regimen for the induction of labor in women with obesity.
The prevalence of sarcopenic obesity (SO) is increasing worldwide, posing important challenges to public health and national health care system, especially during the COVID pandemic. In subjects with SO, it is essential to reduce body weight preserving lean mass, in order to avoid a worsening of muscle function. Lifestyle modification with adequate nutrition and proper physical activity is essential to counteract SO progression. In accordance with the Position Statement of the Italian Society of Endocrinology, Very Low Calorie Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD), a well established nutritional intervention in the context of obesity, has been promoted also for the treatment of SO. Moreover, the source of protein, timing of intake, and specific amino-acid constitution also represent critical factors in increasing muscle mass and strength. Recent studies have shown how protein supplementation, especially with high leucine content, can be effective in degenerative and end-stage diseases. To date, the effects of physical training during VLCKD have not been studied. The aim is to determine the efficacy of VLCKD combined with interval training, compared to a VLCKD or a LCD alone, on weight-loss, body composition and physical performance in patient with SO.
Approximately 1 in 10 mid-life (age 35-64) Americans have mobility impairing disabilities. People with mobility impairing disabilities are defined using the World Health Organization criteria: community living adults with mobility impairment (e.g., amputation, spinal cord injury). Women with mobility impairing disabilities often struggle with stress, abdominal fat (measured as waist circumference), lack of muscle tissue (measured as handgrip strength) and high cardiometabolic risk. This study investigates the usefulness, acceptability, and effectiveness of two strategies to reduce stress, improve health habits, reduce abdominal fat and increase muscle tissue in mid-life women with mobility impairments. These strategies involve either gentle stretching and strengthening exercises or watching informative videos.
