Clinical Trial Summary

The main objective of the FLAIR-i study is to study the causal role of inflammation in affecting effort-based decision making in brain and behaviour in overweight and obesity, by comparing the effect of the anti-inflammatory agent colchicine vs. placebo.


Clinical Trial Description

Obesity is a major health problem worldwide and is characterized by increases in low-grade, systemic inflammation. Outside the field of obesity, increases in inflammation have been related to loss of motivation and effortful behaviour, which can be objectively measured with effort-based decision making in brain and behaviour. Here, the investigators hypothesise that low-grade inflammation is causing altered striatal brain responses and effortless 'fast food' choices in overweight and obesity. The objective of this study is to study the causal role of inflammation in affecting effort-based decision making in brain and behaviour in overweight and obese participants, by comparing the effect of the anti-inflammatory agent colchicine vs. placebo. In addition, it will be investigated whether this primary objective translates to more ecologically valid measures/settings. ;
