Active clinical trials for "Overweight"

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of a high protein, high fiber dietary supplement on weight and fat loss in healthy overweight adults. Half of participants will receive a high protein, high fiber supplement twice a day for 12 weeks, and half of the subjects will receive a placebo (that contains the same amount of calories as the supplement) twice a day for 12 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a combined vitamin D and magnesium supplementation on parathyroid hormone and cardiometabolic health in persons living with obesity.

African American men are at risk of developing chronic disease partly due to low levels of regular physical activity. Studies have been effective in increasing physical activity levels in African American men; however for the health benefits of exercise to be maintained continued physical activity is necessary. The purpose of the current study is to develop a mobile phone application for African American men that will help them maintain their physical activity levels.

The objectives of this trial are to assess the effects of interactions between genetic factors and diet with various macronutrient intake on the metabolic disorders, obesity and type 2 diabetes risk, prevention, development and progress.

An investigation on the effects of roasted pulse snacks on post-prandial glycemic and satiety response in healthy young adults.

This will be an investigator- and subject-blinded (sponsor open), randomized, placebo controlled, sequential, ascending, multiple oral dose study, with 5 planned cohorts (optional sixth and seventh cohorts). A total of approximately 50 (if 5 cohorts), 60 (if 6 cohorts), and up to 70 (if 7 cohorts) subjects will be randomized in this study. Subjects in each cohort will be randomized to receive PF-06865571 or matching placebo with approximately 10 subjects dosed in each cohort. For a given subject in any cohort, the total study duration from screening to follow-up phone call will be between approximately 7 to 11 weeks.

This research seeks to examine psychological factors that may impact relationship between incentives and health behavior engagement, specifically physical activity. Additionally, it will compare the impact of two different incentive schedules on behavior engagement, one providing immediate rewards (i.e. rewards received on a daily basis) and another providing delayed rewards (i.e. rewards received at the end of the study period), with an active self-monitoring intervention condition in which no rewards are offered. Study participants will provide reports of their physical activity each day for three weeks, and in the two incentive conditions, they will receive small monetary rewards for their physical activity. Following the three week reporting and reward period, participants will complete two additional assessments, measuring psychological constructs and behavior engagement following the cessation of rewards. The study will also examine how cognitive and anthropomorphic factors may contribute to intervention response and the effects on psychological constructs.

PF-06427878 is a new compound proposed for the treatment of hyperlipidemia. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics after 2 weeks of dosing of PF-06427878 in overweight-obese, otherwise healthy adult subjects.

The main purpose of this study is to measure the effect of tirzepatide on food intake in participants who are overweight or very overweight. The study will also use imaging to learn more about how tirzepatide affects specific parts of the brain. The effect of tirzepatide on appetite will also be studied. The study will last up to about four months and will include up to 14 visits to the study center.

Overweight and obesity are public health concerns and there is a forecast rise in the consumption of ready meals that are generally high in saturated fat and low in fibre. Slimming World, a commercial weight management organisation has designed a range of ready meals in line with their weight management programme, which advocates an unrestricted intake of low energy dense food in order to aid in weight loss. Hence, it is valuable to understand the satiating properties of ready meals in order to establish if specific ready meals can enhance satiety and contribute to reducing subsequent energy intake. This study aims to explore the effect of ready meals on short-term satiety and food intake among females with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2.
