Filter by:The rationale for the selection of Outcome Measures is the compliance with FDA regulations as pertain to medical devices with a moderate level of risk of hazard leading to harm of the patient; firstly, the safety of the device in achieving the desired effect of its intended use when operated in the intended manner; and secondly, the effectiveness of the device in achieving its desired effect of its intended use in accordance with its proposed label and labeling. The rationale for the selection of the primary outcome measure is to satisfy the question of safety and effectiveness of the use of red-light exposure to reduce the circumference of overweight patients with a statistically significant Routine Use population size. Given that the Routine Use Data Analysis is open label and therefore not blinded, there is no need for a control group nor additional cohorts for varying levels of exposure and corresponding safety and/or effectiveness.
This trial is conducted in China. The aim of this trial is to investigate Safety, Tolerability, PK and PD for Multiple Doses of IBI362 in Overweight or Obese Male and Female Subjects.
The proposed study looks at the effect of long-term diet modification with or without full-fat dairy products or restrictive eating on body weight, body composition and cardiometabolic markers in healthy overweight/obese men and women.
The main purpose of the clinical trial is to determine the health impact of a dietary intervention known as time-restricted eating (TRE) in patients with metabolic syndrome (defined as the presence of elevated fasting plasma glucose and two or more of the following criteria: increased waist circumference, elevated fasting plasma triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, elevated blood pressure) and self-reported dietary intake of ≥14 hours per day. Participants will reduce the amount of time they eat to 10 hours per day over a 12-week monitored intervention followed by a 12-week self-directed intervention and will log their dietary intake using a smartphone application (myCircadianClock (mCC) app). Glucose homeostasis (blood glucose levels will be monitored continuously for 2 weeks at the baseline, at the end of the monitored intervention, and at the end of the self-directed intervention using a continuous glucose monitor), and other metabolic, neuroendocrine, inflammatory and oxidative stress/antioxidant defense biomarkers, body weight and composition, blood pressure, heart rate, sleep and activity (using mCC app), personal sense of wellness and dietary timing (using health questionnaires) will be evaluated at the baseline, at the end of the monitored intervention, and at the end of the self-directed intervention.
To determine the effectiveness of a 7-day course of an oral, prophylactic antibiotic on the incidence of periprosthetic joint infection and wound complications following primary total hip and knee arthroplasty in a high-risk patient population.
The primary objective of the current proposal is to determine the effectiveness of long-term consumption of Fibersym® RW for improving blood lipids (including cholesterol) and body composition. The overall goal of this clinical research is to determine the potential effects that RS4 consumption may have on the prevention of obesity and obesity-related diseases. Fiber in the form of RS4 will be used for the proposed study, given that fiber has been shown to have many beneficial effects on modifiable risk factors associated with obesity-related diseases. Using a long-term randomized-controlled intervention design, blood lipids (total cholesterol, LDL-c, HDL-c, triglycerides) and body composition will be assessed. The investigators anticipate reductions in cholesterol and body fat percentage following 8-weeks of Fibersym® RW consumption.
Objective 1: Characterize indices of systemic inflammation and gut microbiota composition and function after chronic (12 weeks) intake of pulses compared to control diet in human OW/OB-IR participants. Objective 2: Characterize dietary- and microbial-derived metabolite pools after regular intake of pulses (12 weeks) in human participants with OW/OB-IR compared to control diet. Objective 3: Characterize cognitive functioning after chronic (12 weeks) intake of pulses compared to control diet in human OW/OB-IR participants.
The PROVE Trial is a randomized clinical trial that will determine whether a weight loss intervention combined with walking exercise achieves greater improvement or less decline in six-minute walk distance at 12 month follow-up than walking exercise alone in people with PAD and BMI>25 kg/m2. The intervention uses a Group Mediated Cognitive Behavioral framework, connective mobile technology, remote monitoring by a coach, and a calorie restricted Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)-derived Optimal Macronutrient Intake Trial for Heart Health (OMNIHeart) diet. 212 participants with PAD and BMI > 25 kg/m2 will be randomized to one of two groups: weight loss + exercise (WL+EX) vs. exercise alone (EX). Participants will be randomized at Northwestern, Tulane University, and University of Minnesota. Our primary outcome is change in six-minute walk distance at 12-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes are change in 6-minute walk distance at 6-month follow-up and change in exercise adherence, physical activity, patient-reported walking ability (measured by the Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) distance score), and mobility (measured by the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System [PROMIS] mobility questionnaire) at 12-month follow-up. Tertiary outcomes are perceived exertional effort (measured by the Borg scale at the end of the 6-minute walk at 12-month follow-up), and diet quality. Exploratory outcomes consist of change in the short physical performance battery (SPPB), the WIQ stair climbing and walking speed scores, and calf muscle biopsy measures at 12-month follow-up. Study investigators will perform calf muscle biopsies in 50 participants to compare changes in mitochondrial biogenesis and activity, capillary density, and inflammation between WL+EX vs. EX.
Despite the efficacy of intensive lifestyle interventions in prediabetes, the incidence of diabetes is rising, and thus there is a critical need for additional strategies to prevent diabetes and to reduce its cardiovascular complications in this high-risk population. Sleep apnea is a highly common condition in prediabetes, but it has been mostly ignored and undertreated in current practice. The proposed study will be the first to assess whether adding CPAP (continuous positive air pressure) treatment to a lifestyle intervention improves cardiometabolic outcomes beyond that achieved with lifestyle alone (i.e. current standard of care) in high-risk individuals with prediabetes.
The aim of the study is to investigate dynamic changes in biochemical metabolism, gut microbiome and its metabolites among overweight and obese participants while they are on a modified Atkins Diets.
