Filter by:This study will investigate the safety and efficacy of once daily oral treatment with orforglipron compared with placebo on body weight in adult participants with obesity or overweight and type 2 diabetes. The study will last about 77 weeks and may include up to 22 visits.
This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of once daily oral orforglipron in adult participants with obesity or overweight with weight-related comorbidities.
In recent years, the planetary health diet proposed by the EAT-Lancet Commission has underscored the importance of massive changes to healthy eating on a global scale to prevent environmental degradation. Diet management helps individuals control their food consumption, and this can be supported by the availability of technology through mobile applications. The use of mobile applications considers several aspects such as convenience, comfort, and self-management efficiency in maintaining food consumption. By using an application with the latest features related to diet management, which is equipped with dietary education features, gas emissions, and calculating environmental impacts, it allows users to increase self-awareness to reduce gas emissions from food consumption. Therefore, developing recommendations for a balanced nutritional diet, healthy lifestyle, calculating diet quality, and greenhouse gas emission in one application that is presented in one easy step is an important point in providing comprehensive information for a wider range of potential users. The main objective of this study is to assess the differences in changes in body weight, BMI, waist circumference, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure between the group that was given education on a planetary health diet with calorie restriction and a healthy lifestyle and the group that received education on a balanced diet with calorie restriction and a healthy lifestyle in adults using the 3rd generation of EatsUp mobile application. We will conduct a 24-week intervention for overweight and obese adults.
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
Semaglutide is a medication approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an antihyperglycemic (a drug that reduces glucoses in those with diabetes) and for weight management. This new study will help find out what effects, semaglutide has on people who take the drug and the drug's effect on physical function, body composition, and aging.
Native Americans (NAs) have limited access to healthy food and a high prevalence of diet-related diseases. This study will implement an agricultural and health education program in which NA residents of Osage Nation will receive a weekly share of healthy fresh produce coupled with healthy recipes and cooking materials. The program's effect on diet and health outcomes and it's cost-effectiveness will be evaluated, and study processes and findings will be broadly disseminated to support tribes in improving diet and health.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects nearly 1% of the general population worldwide leading to joint inflammation, disability and increate mortality. Several factors are associated with disease activity and treatment outcomes. Among them, overweight/obesity status was demonstrated to be associated with higher risk of RA development and most importantly to different treatment response to biological DMARDs. Moreover, overweight/obese RA patients do show higher degree of synovial inflammation compared to lean RA patients. In this context, adipose tissue accumulation is associated with higher inflammatory burden through the secretion by activated mature adipocytes of adipokines with pro-inflammatory properties on innate and adaptive immune cells. Among them, Leptin is an important adipokine, released by mature adipocytes with multiple activating properties on immune cells as monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, T and B lymphocytes acting through the activation of its receptor LEPR via JAK/STAT pathway. In particular, leptin exerts its effects on macrophages populations through the promotion of M1 differentiation with pro-inflammatory phenotype. In our research hypothesis we expect that leptin levels does correlate with immunohistochemical scores of synovial inflammatory cells (CD68+, CD21+, CD20+ and CD3+) and CD31+ synovial vessels. Moreover, we expect that the inhibition of JAK/STAT signal using Tofacitinib may interfere with leptin activation action on resident synovial inflammatory cells expressing LEPR (as CD68+, CD20+ and CD3+) in particular restoring the M1/M2 phenotype ratio within resident macrophages populations. Finally, we expect that the inhibition of JAK/STAT signaling pathway by Tofacitinib will result in a significant reduction of synovitis degree in patients with higher leptin expression due to adipose tissue activation.
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.
In a randomized controlled trial we will research the effect of calorie restriction with early and mid-day time-restricted eating (TRE) and daily calorie restriction on weight loss and human health parameters. Participants will be divided into three groups: early time-restriction group (8:00 AM to 4:00 PM), mid-day restriction group (1:00 PM to 9:00 PM) and daily calorie restriction group (8:00 AM to 9:00 PM). Participants will follow dietary strategy with three planned meals and calorie restriction. Anthropometrical and biochemical parameters will be measured at baseline, after one month, two months and at after three months of intervention. Resting metabolic rate, ultrasound scan of abdomen and ultrasound scan of carotid arteries will be measured at baseline and after three months of intervention. In addition, stool samples will be also taken at baseline and after three months of intervention.
