Filter by:The main purpose of this phase 3b study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide compared with semaglutide in adult participants who have obesity or overweight with weight related comorbidities without Type 2 Diabetes. The study will last around 74 weeks.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of XW003 versus placebo in adults with overweight or obesity
Hypertension and obesity are both major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), a leading cause of death for Black women in the United States. The investigators propose examining the feasibility and acceptability of the 12-week RN-CHeFRx (Real Nourishment and Cooking Healthy Food is Rx) intervention - grocery delivery, cooking classes, and nutrition education - for Black women with hypertension and obesity to improve nutritious eating habits and blood pressure control.
This study is an investigator-initiated, proof-of-concept, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, single-centre clinical trial investigating the body weight loss potential of dapiglutide, a dual GLP-1R/GLP-2R agonist, administered subcutaneously once weekly. The study will investigate the efficacy of once-weekly subcutaneously administered of 4 mg and 6 mg dapiglutide versus placebo in 54 obese individuals (BMI >30 kg/m2) during a 12-week treatment period.
Adults Regulating Their weight Everyday with Mobile Internet Support (ARTEMIS) is a randomised controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of a mobile app based weight loss intervention designed to increase self-regulation in adults living with obesity.
An observational study ancillary to the randomized clinical trial (RCT) TEENS+ (R01HD095910), a family-based lifestyle intervention, for adolescents with obesity, to determine: 1) if family-wide changes to the shared home environment are implemented, 2) if ripple effects to untreated family members are observed, and 3) whether these changes are predictive of adolescents' weight management success. Funding support from NIH via R21HD105906.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Aprepitant + standard antiemetic regimen in reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic gastric sleeve versus placebo + standard antiemetic regimen
The proposed discordant identical and fraternal twin study of incident type 2 diabetes and incident obesity is pivotal to public health because this study design compares diseased twins with their non-diseased co-twins for a better understanding of environment-induced hydroxymethylation independent of genetic influences as the novel biological mechanism underlying the diseases. By engaging students in the proposed co-twin control study, we will prepare our next generation of public health researchers to sustain our impact on public health across generations. The discovery of new environmentally and epigenetically therapeutic and preventive regimens will pave the way to fight against incident type 2 diabetes and incident obesity.
Obesity and glucose intolerance or overt diabetes are increasing at an alarming rate in the population, and are bound to become a public health issue and a major cause of disability, loss of independence and high social costs in the near future. A large body of evidence has in recent years highlighted, among the negative effects of overnutrition and glucose dysmetabolism, also an acceleration of cognitive decline and of brain senescence, through cellular (vascular, neuronal, or both) and molecular mechanisms still incompletely clarified. Understanding how overweight and impaired glucose homeostasis negatively affect brain function represents both a major scientific challenge and an avenue to early detection and possibly prevention of this invalidating complication. The aim of this project is to obtain neuronal progenitor-like cells from skin fibroblasts in order to correlate patient-specific metabolism to adult neural stem cell (NSC) and neuronal function in vitro.
This study is open to adults between 18 and 55 years of age who are living with overweight or obesity. People with a body mass index (BMI) from 27 to 40 kg/m2 can join the study. The main purpose of this study is to find out how a medicine called BI 1820237 is tolerated by people with overweight or obesity when taken alone or in combination with a medicine called semaglutide or with a medicine called BI 456906. Participants are divided into different groups. All participants in the study either take different doses of BI 1820237 or placebo. Some of the groups take either semaglutide or BI 456906 in addition. Each participant has an equal chance of being in each group. All participants receive the study medicines as injections under the skin once a week for almost 5 months. Placebo injections look like BI 1820237 injections, but do not contain any medicine. Semaglutide is medicine that is already used for overweight or obesity. BI 456906 is another medicine that is being developed for the treatment of overweight and obesity. Participants are in the study for about 7 months. During this time, they visit the study site regularly. For some of the visits, the participants remain at the study site for 1 or 2 nights. At the study visits, the doctors check the health of the participants and note any health problems that could have been caused by BI 1820237, semaglutide, or BI 456906.
