Weight Change Trajectory clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

NCT ID: NCT01818674 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Microclinic Social Network Behavioral Health Trial in Jordan

Start date: January 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This 3-armed randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of The Microclinic Behavioral Health Program in improving obesity and diabetes risk factors through a behavioral intervention program structured to enhance and promote social-network interactions and social support. The full version of the Microclinic Behavioral Health Program (Full MCP) with program-activated social-network interactions-with shared access to diabetes education, technology, and group support to promote weight and metabolic control through diet, exercise, medication adherence, and blood pressure management. Participants play a role in the collective effort to combat diabetes and solidifying self-management behavioral skills through peer-monitoring and encouragement of lifestyle behaviors. The study may yield valuable information on the impact of social support and social network interactions for enhancing body weight and blood sugar control. We compare the full MCP intervention, to a basic MCP intervention with more limited classroom interaction, and to an parallel monitoring control arm. And we aim to understand how metabolic changes over time relate to the cross-propagation of health behaviors between persons in social networks. This Microclinic Behavioral Health Program was established in collaboration with the Royal Health Awareness Society (RHAS) and the Jordanian Ministry of Health (MoH).
