Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test whether deposit contracts, wherein individuals invest their own money with the study to serve as the incentive, with or without daily feedback about progress help individuals to increase step counts and more often meet a step goal compared to self-monitoring only.
The findings of this study will establish the feasibility and efficacy of B'N Fit POWER and given the wide presence of MSHP, MMCC and other afterschool programs, there is significant potential for dissemination of B'N Fit POWER to many other clinic-community partnership sites enabling the development of a larger grant that will test the effectiveness and dissemination process to several schools in the Bronx. The translation of a traditional clinical-based weight-loss intervention to adapting and implementing such an intervention in a real-world school setting is more relevant and sustainable for advancing a culture of health and promoting diabetes risk reduction in Bronx youth.
The purpose of this project is to test, for the first time, a reverse diet in adults with current or prior overweight/obesity (Ow/Ob). Weight-reduced adults with current or prior Ow/Ob will be randomized to a reverse diet or "standard care" control (CON) intervention for 12 weeks. Eligible participants will have lost >10% body mass. The reverse diet group will receive personalized caloric intake goals, increasing 2-3%/week. The CON group will receive standard weight maintenance recommendations with matched contact. At baseline and week 12, resting energy expenditure (REE), body mass and composition, subjective appetite, and food intake behaviors will be evaluated. In addition to the pre- and post-intervention measures, body mass and adherence to reverse diet will be monitored weekly.
The purpose of this study is to collect information about the safety and effectiveness of Saxenda® in obese patients and overweight patients with obesity-related comorbidities. The participant will attend the clinic or hospital according to usual practice and receive medical care, as agreed with the study doctor. The participation is expected to be approximately for 26 weeks.
Excessive eating of energy-dense foods and obesity are risk factors for a range of cancers. There are programs to reduce intake of these foods and weight loss, but the effects of the programs rarely last. This project tests whether altering the value of cancer-risk foods can create lasting change, and uses neuroimaging to compare the efficacy of two programs to engage the valuation system on a neural level. Results will establish the pathways through which the programs work and suggest specific treatments for individuals based on a personalized profile.
The BEFORE study ((B) EFficacy Of REfigura) is designed to demonstrate the efficacy of REFIGURA®. It is a double-blind, randomized, monocentric study.
A phase 2 study in two parts (A & B) designed to evaluate the effect of MEDI0382 on Hepatic Glycogen Metabolism in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Approximately 20 subjects will be enrolled in Part A and approximately 30 subjects in Part B.
Effect of the dietary supplement (FAT-BINDER DAMM) on weight regain after 9 months of control weight program
This study will look at the change in the participant's body weight from the start to the end of the study. This is to compare the effect on body weight in people taking semaglutide (a new medicine) and people taking "dummy" medicine. In addition to taking the study medicine, the participant will have talks with study staff about healthy food choices, how to be more physically active and what else the participant can do to lose weight. Overweight and obesity is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, weight loss has shown to have a beneficial impact on the blood sugar levels. The participant will either get semaglutide or "dummy" medicine - which treatment the participant get is decided by chance. The participant will need to take 2 injections at the same time once a week. The study medicine is injected with a thin needle in a skin fold in the stomach, thigh or upper arm. The study will last for about 1.5 years
This is a retrospective, descriptive study that involves de-identified data consisting of weight changes, pertinent vital signs and laboratory values influenced by body weight, and healthcare utilization of patients prescribed lorcaserin at The Center for Weight Management at the Scripps Clinic in San Diego, CA.
