Filter by:This is a multiple dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of K-757 and K-833 when co-administered in overweight/obese patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)
The primary objectives of the present study are to estimate the sarcopenic proportion in a cohort of obese older subjects who have been hospitalized. The secondary objective is to individuate several clinical variables that differ between the sarcopenic obese patient and the not sarcopenic obese patient.
This study is researching experimental drugs called trevogrumab and garetosmab (called "study drugs") in combination with another drug, semaglutide (Wegovy®). Part A of the study, the sponsor is only researching trevogrumab. Part B of the study the sponsor is researching trevogrumab, garetosmab, and Wegovy either alone or in different combinations with each other. Part A of the study is focused on healthy participants. Part B 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 of the study is to see how safe and effective the study drug is when combined with Wegovy. Parts A and B 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)
The goal of this observational cross-sectional study is to test the sensory attenuation effect with auditory stimuli comparing women with obesity and healthy-weight women. Specifically, the study aims to test whether the sensory attenuation effect (i.e., the perceived loudness of a self-generated sound is weaker than when another person produces the same sound): i) is observed in obesity ii) it can be modulated in interactive action contexts, as was previously observed in healthy participants. Participants will compare the loudness of target sound with a comparison tone, which can be prompt by the participant by pressing a button on their own will (i.e., individual context) or upon the experimenter's signal (i.e., interactive context); externally-generated sounds are produced in the opposite way.
This is a single-center, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled phase II study to explore the effectiveness, safety and energy balance mechanism of low-frequency continuous subcutaneous injection of HRS9531 to inhibit weight regain in obese non-diabetic and obese diabetic patients
The aim of the study is to evaluate simultaneously the immunological and clinical efficacy and tolerability of an influenza vaccine, inactivated, quadrivalent, with cleaved virus, in patients at risk for severe and complicated influenza routinely vaccinated against influenza in family medicine clinics or specialty clinics (pediatric, internal medicine, cardiology, gynecological diabetes, pregnant women, transplant).
It has been suggested that individuals with the condition known as metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) may not have the same increased risk of developing metabolic abnormalities as their non-metabolically healthy counterparts. In addition, to date, the identification of metabolic biomarkers and microbiota underlying the MHO state is limited. In this study, our goal is to provide insight into the underlying metabolic pathways affected by obesity. To achieve this, we will compare the metabolic profile, inflammatory parameters and mitochondrial function, as well as metabolomic analysis and differential expression of microbiota in obese patients categorized as metabolically healthy vs. non healthy. In parallel, the effect of a hypocaloric diet on obese subjects' metabolism and microbiota will be assessed to approve their use in the treatment of said disorder. Specifically, we propose an observational, clinical-basic, comparative and interventional study in a population of 80 obese (BMI>35 kg/m2) patients clustered in two groups according to the presence or absence of altered metabolism (altered fasting glycemia, hypertension, atherogenic dyslipidemia). Anthropometric and clinical variables and biological samples (serum, plasma, peripheral blood cells and feces) will be collected for the determination of biochemical parameters (glucose, lipid and hormonal profile by enzymatic techniques) and protein-based peripheral biomarkers of mitochondrial function [total and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, mitochondrial membrane potential, glutathione levels by static cytometry], markers of mitochondrial dynamics [Mitofusin 1 (MFN1), Mitofusin 2 (MFN2), Mitochondrial fision protein 1 (FIS1) and Dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) by RT-PCR and Western Blot], markers of inflammation [Interleukin 6 (IL6), Tumoral necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), IL1b, adiponectin, resistin, plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), caspase 1 and NLRP3 by Western Blot and technology XMAP), metabolomic assay (NMR spectroscopy and PLS-DA), as well as gut microbiota content and diversity (16S rRNA, MiSeq sequencing). Finally, we will evaluate the effect of a dietary weight loss intervention on these biomarkers.
This study is being conducted to evaluate RGT001-075 to help people who are above a healthy weight range to lose weight. In this study participants will either get RGT001-075 or a "dummy" medicine (placebo). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants need to take RGT001-075 or placebo once every day for 12 weeks.
The goal of this this intervention is to test the degree to which a portion size labeling intervention influences consumer selection of smaller portions at two large cafés. The main question it aims to answer is: Do consumers order fewer calories when the portion size label for the smaller entree is called "standard" instead of "small"? Participants will order lunch as usual in the two cafes (one intervention, one control) for 5.5 months, and all order items will be recorded in the check-out system. One cafe will receive the labeling intervention, while the other will not. Researchers will compare the average calories per order between the two cafes to see if there are differences.
Parents as primary caregivers play an important role in shaping children's mealtime and eating behaviors; and in preventing weight gain. Conventionally, in-person, parent-implemented treatments have worked well for children with autism, however, post-COVID-19 pandemic there is a need for virtual, evidence-based training for parents to improve nutrition in children with autism and weight issues. This study aims to: a) increase self-efficacy among parents of children with autism and overweight or obesity to feed their children a healthy diet, b) improve parental nutrition knowledge and skills on how to feed their child with autism and overweight or obesity a healthier diet, c) improve their child's mealtime behaviors, and d) increase the child's dietary variety.
