Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test a physical activity program in patients with metastatic breast cancer and overweight receiving endocrine-based treatment. The aim of the study is to assess the feasibility and metabolic efficacy of a 12-week physical activity program in this patient group. The hypothesis is that improving metabolic health through physical activity can optimize cancer care. Participants will randomized 2:1 to either a physical activity program or care as usual.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) for the treatment of obesity. The ESG procedure is an U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved procedure for the treatment of obesity - patients with a body mass index (BMI) 30-50 kg/m2. This procedure is FDA approved; however, Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP)-Accredited centers (such as Houston Methodist Hospital) must receive approval from an Institutional Review Board (IRB) in order to perform primary procedures, such as ESG, that are not endorsed by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS).
Overweight and obesity are increasingly prevalent worldwide. Weight excess increases the risk of in developing the metabolic syndrome, which is composed by a set of cardiometabolic risk factors such as abdominal adiposity, dyslipidemia, high blood pressure and elevated fasting glucose levels. Obesity and the metabolic syndrome are known to be risk factors for the development of chronic kidney disease. It is not clear however, whether they can be considered independent risk factors for impaired renal function and renal damage. Whereas obesity may represent an independent risk factor for renal damage, it is not clear yet if the contemporaneous presence of obesity and metabolic alterations is associated with an additional increase in the risk. It may be important to understand the relationship between obesity, metabolic syndrome and renal health, as treatment strategies may be different for the two metabolic phenotypes of obesity, i.e., metabolically healthy obese (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) patients. The primary objective of this multicentre observational prospective study is to assess the relationship between metabolic phenotype and reduced renal function (glomerular filtration rate <90 ml/min/1.73m2 or microalbuminuria 30-300 mg/24h) in a population of 1000 patients with overweight or obesity. The secondary aim is to study the association between diet quality, consumption of ultra-processed foods and indicators of reduced renal function and renal damage.
This trial aims to test the feasibility and acceptability of addressing interpersonal barriers to weight-related behavior change. Specifically, the study will test if, by including up to two friends, family members, or co-workers in a lifestyle intervention for weight loss, the person enrolled in the study loses more weight than someone whose friends, family members, or co-workers were not invited to participate.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of dulaglutide adjuvant treatment in patients with bipolar disorder with obesity, in addition to exploring the effect of GLP-1RA on cognition of bipolar disorder.
Epidemiological studies have shown an inverse association between coffee consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes. However, the randomized controlled trials in prediabetes are limited to evaluate the effects of coffee. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of coffee on metabolic factors and inflammation in individuals with prediabetes and obesity. A double-blind, randomized controlled trial is designed to explore the effects of coffee consumption on participants with prediabetes and obesity. A total of 100 eligible participants with prediabetes and obesity will be recruited from the Health Management Center of Nanjing First Hospital. These participants are randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the coffee capsule group or the control group. The coffee capsule group will be instructed to consume 3.6 g of coffee capsules per day (0.3 g per capsule, 6 capsules per serving, twice a day, once in the morning and once in the middle of the day). The control group will be asked to consume 3.6 g of cornstarch capsules (0.3 g per capsule, 6 capsules per serving, twice a day, once in the morning and once in the middle of the day). 75 g oral glucose tolerance test, 2-week blinded continuous glucose measurement and others will be performed before and after the 3-month intervention. During the three months of intervention, the information on dietary intake, physical activity and sleep of participants will be systematically collected. To comprehensively assess the impact of coffee intake on prediabetes and obesity, we will analyze the effects of coffee capsules on various metabolic and inflammatory markers, including glucose metabolism, lipid profiles, blood pressure, adiponectin, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, body mass index, body composition, the degree of hepatic steatosis and so on. We will further adjust for potential confounding factors such as lifestyle factors to better understand the underlying biological mechanisms driving this association.
Weight loss is a cornerstone of diabetes (T2D) management, yet in clinical practice, its delivery is limited by its perceived burdensome nature and variability in response. Personalization of the interventions to increase their success rate is an unmet clinical need. The proposed project MEPHISTO (Whole body and gut microbiome metabolic flexibility to predict lifestyle intervention outcomes) would aim to identify predictive features related to successful weight loss upon sequential exercise and diet intervention in people living with obesity. To this end, the study aims to conduct a clinical trial where the investigators would implement state-of-the-art physiological phenotyping of metabolic flexibility at the whole-body level and at the level of the gut in persons with obesity before and after exercise and diet + exercise intervention to identify predictive signatures of successful weight loss
This study will look at how a new medicine called NNC0519-0130 helps people with excess body weight lose weight. The study will test up to 6 different doses of NNC0519-0130. Participants will take 1-2 injections once a week. The study medicine will be injected under skin with a thin needle in the stomach, thigh, or upper arm. The study will last for about 42 weeks.
In this trial, the aim is to assess the clinical benefits and harms, as well as cost-effectiveness of an intensive weight loss (IWL) intervention that includes total dietary replacements, behavioural support and weight-loss medication compared with existing weight management programmes within primary care for people with severe and complex obesity.
Ageing is characterised by a change in body composition with a parallel decrease in muscle mass and an increase and central redistribution of fat. When drastically exacerbated, these two processes culminate in a condition known as sarcopenic obesity (SO). SO is characterised by the coexistence of obesity and sarcopenia (i.e. reduced muscle mass and function) and is a growing public health problem in the elderly. The health risks of obesity and sarcopenia act synergistically, maximising the risk of disability of OS. The molecular mechanisms underlying OS are largely unknown. Increased fat mass induces chronic systemic inflammation and alters the profiles of adipokines and hormones, promoting the development of sarcopenia. On the other hand, the reduction in muscle tissue (SM) typical of sarcopenia is characterised by an alteration in the metabolic properties of skeletal muscle with an increase in insulin resistance and a reduction in energy expenditure that favours the accumulation and dysfunction of adipose tissue (AT). The cellular alterations that would seem to underlie OS are: altered autophagy, cellular senescence, epigenetic and mitochondrial alterations and maladaptive activation of intra- and intercellular inflammatory circuits (e.g. cytokines, extracellular vesicles, dysfunctional circulating leukocytes). However, the interconnections between these mechanisms are still unclear. The impact of OS can be dramatic on the health and quality of life of those affected. Therefore, the identification of early biomarkers that can recognise overweight and obese individuals at risk of developing SO is of paramount importance. This would shed light on the heterogeneity of an otherwise homogeneous clinical condition, opening new horizons towards the conscious design of more personalised therapeutic strategies, allowing a more rational use of the limited resources available for the growing elderly population. The study design designed to achieve this aim is a cross-sectional observational study with an additional multicentre procedure lasting two years.
