Active clinical trials for "Overweight"

This is a study of tirzepatide in participants with obesity or overweight. The main purpose is to learn more about how tirzepatide maintains body weight loss. The study has two phases: a lead-in phase in which all participants take tirzepatide and a treatment phase in which participants will either continue tirzepatide or switch to placebo. The study will last about 2 years (25 visits).

This study is open to adults, aged 18 to 75 years, with overweight or obesity. People with body mass index (BMI) of 27 or higher to join the study. People who have diabetes cannot participate. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 456906 helps people lose weight. Participants are put into 5 groups by chance. 4 groups get different doses of BI 456906. The fifth group gets placebo. Participants get BI 456906 or placebo as injections under the skin once a week. Placebo injections look like BI 456906 injections but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for about a year. During this time, there are about 20 in-person visits to the study site. At the study site visits, doctors measure participants' body weight. Results are compared between the BI 456906 groups and the placebo group. The doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.

The study looks at how the study medicine (NNC9204-1177) affects other medicines in the body. Participants will get the study medicine and 5 other medicines which have all been approved by the authorities. Participants will get 1 injection of the study medicine each week for 11 weeks. The study medicine is injected under the skin in the stomach area. All injections will be given by study staff. Participants will get 5 medicines as tablets, capsules or syrup to be taken with water at the beginning of the study and after 10 weeks of treatment with the study medicine. The study will last for about 4 months. Participants will have 14 visits to the clinic with the study staff and study doctor. Participants will have blood draws and 2 different kinds of electrocardiograms taken during the study. They will be asked about your mental health. People who use any medication, including herbal products, cannot take part in the study. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period or if they use birth control pills or other hormonal birth control products.

The study looks at how the study medicine affects the level in the blood of a birth control pill. The study also looks at how the study medicine affects the duration of emptying of the stomach. Participants will get 1 injection of study medicine once a week for 12 weeks by a study nurse at the clinic. The study medicine is injected with a thin needle in a skin fold in the stomach. In addition, participants will get 1 birth control pill per day for 8 days before the first dose of the study medicine and again after 10 weeks of dosing with the study medicine. Participants will also get a dose of acetaminophen before the first dose of the study medicine and again after 10 weeks of dosing with the study medicine. Acetaminophen is a mild painkiller but used here to assess the emptying of the stomach. The study will last for about 9 months, but participants will only be in the study for about 6 months. Participants will have 17 clinic visits with the study staff and some will be overnight visits. There will also be 3 phone calls with the study staff. At all visits, participants will have blood drawn along with other clinical assessments. Participants will be asked about their health, diseases and habits including mental health questionnaires. Participants must not be able to become pregnant if they want to participate in the study.

The goal of this study is to develop and pilot test a telehealth behavioral weight control intervention for adolescents from a low-income background that combines facets of mindfulness training with behavioral weight control. We aim to examine biological (e.g., weight) and behavioral (e.g., emotional eating, mindfulness) changes as a result of a 12-session mindfulness-based weight control intervention compared to a 12-session standard behavioral weight control intervention.

This pilot randomized controlled trial will compare a remotely delivered behavioral weight loss program with a balanced calorie deficit diet (the current gold-standard) to a behavioral weight loss program with an ad libitum whole food plant-based diet (WFPBD) amongst adults with overweight/obesity (N = 52). The 6-month intervention will consist of 3 months of moderate-intensity intervention (weekly online modules and brief coaching calls), then a low-intensity period (3 calls over 3-months). Assessments will occur at baseline, 6-weeks, 12-weeks, and post-treatment (6-months). Acceptability, dietary adherence, weight, quality of life, depressive symptoms, and subjective appetite will be assessed.

The aims of this study was to compare two isoenergetic HIIT (High-intensity Interval training) programs (cycling vs. running) on body composition, substrate oxidation at rest and during a moderate exercise, muscle functionality, glycaemic control, lipid profile, inflammation, maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) and gut microbiota composition in men with overweight or obesity. The investigators hypothesized that both programs could decrease total, abdominal and visceral fat mass but due to differences in muscle solicitation, metabolism adaptation and blood flow, and that running could favors greater fat mass losses.

46 eligible overweight women with hypovitaminosis D are assigned to either vitamin D or control group using block randomization method. Vitamin D3 pearl (Zahravi Pharma Co, Tabriz, Iran) containing 50000 IU cholecalciferol or placebo are administered weekly for 12 weeks. Participants in both groups are structured to hold their sun exposure and physical activity habits and not take any vitamin supplements during the study.

Symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and high body mass index (BMI) overlap. The investigators are trying to find out if a program proven to help people lose a modest amount of weight and increase their physical activity will improve COPD symptoms for those with a high BMI. The program uses a series of video sessions and self-study handouts focused on healthy eating and increasing physical activity, and encourages participants to monitor their weight, diet, and physical activity for one year. For those who want to, they will be able to work with a health coach to help meet weight and activity goals. We hope that the program will lead to improved exercise tolerance, body weight, dyspnea, generic health-related quality of life, and major cardiovascular risk factors (central obesity by waist circumference, Framingham Risk Score, and blood pressure) through 12 months of follow-up. To be in the study, participants will need to have COPD, high BMI, history of smoking, shortness of breath, and be at least 40 years old.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether introducing almonds into the diet of overweight and obese Blacks and Hispanics improves body composition, decreases liver fat, and lowers cardiovascular disease profile.
