Active clinical trials for "Overweight"

This study is open to women with overweight or obesity who are otherwise healthy. Women with a body mass index (BMI) from 27 to 40 kg/m2 can participate. The purpose of this study is to find out whether taking multiple doses of BI 456906 influences the amount of ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel in the blood. Ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel are ingredients of the contraceptive Microgynon®. The study has 2 treatment periods. In Period 1, participants get 1 tablet of Microgynon®. In Period 2, participants get weekly injections of BI 456906 for 7 months. The doses of BI 456906 increase each month. At 8 specific timepoints during Period 2, participants also get 1 tablet of Microgynon®. Participants visit the study site up to 40 times. At 8 visits, participants take Microgynon® and stay overnight at the site. During the visits, the doctors collect information about participants' health and take blood samples from the participants. They compare the amount of ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel in the blood in Period 2 with the amounts in Period 1. Doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

Participants are being asked to participate in SELECT-LIFE study because participants take part in the SELECT trial. SELECT-LIFE study is a survey-based study that will start when the SELECT trial ends. SELECT-LIFE looks at the long-term effects of participants taking part in the SELECT trial including the trial medicine participants have been taking. When the SELECT trial ends, participants will no longer get the medicine participants got in the study, even if participants decide to take part in the SELECT-LIFE study. Participants will not get any specific treatment or medicine as part of the SELECT-LIFE study, and participants will be treated as participants normally would by their own doctor. The SELECT-LIFE study will last for up to 10 years after SELECT trial ends, and participants will be asked to fill in a questionnaire about their health every 6 months.

This pilot clinical trial studies different types of energy balance interventions to see how well they work in increasing the physical activity levels of breast cancer gene-positive patients, Lynch syndrome-positive patients, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) survivors or family members of cancer survivors who are at high risk for cancer. Increasing exercise and eating healthy foods may help reduce the risk of cancer. Studying how well different types of interventions work in motivating cancer survivors or high-risk family members to increase exercise and healthy food choices may help doctors plan the most effective motivational program for cancer prevention.
