Active clinical trials for "Overweight"

This study will test the effect of liraglutide on cognitive function in HIV-infected overweight or obese subjects with type 2 diabetes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to test new pharmacologic strategies for weight loss in patients with schizophrenia, a population for which no current weight-loss treatments have gained widespread use. The goal is to recruit overweight people with schizophrenia to participate in a 52-week double-blind, randomized study to assess the efficacy and safety of lorcaserin/metformin combination treatment, lorcaserin monotherapy, and placebo on weight, body composition, and measures of glucose and lipid metabolism. Participants: Approximately 110 subjects will be enrolled at four clinical sites (UNC Chapel Hill, Carolina Behavioral Care, Columbia University, and Augusta University) Procedures (methods): Behavioral: All participants will be offered a behavioral intervention of weekly diet and exercise counseling aimed at modifying cardiovascular risk factors. This intervention will be provided at all in-person study visits after the Baseline Visit and supplemented with weekly interim phone calls to reinforce lessons between visits. Pharmacological Intervention: All participants who meet entry criteria will be randomized to one of the three treatment groups (lorcaserin/metformin, lorcaserin, and placebo).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the variety of physical activity, a cross-sectional design will be used. The data collected will provide descriptive details about how people are engaging in physical activity, as well details about the environment they are in while engaging in physical activity.

The purpose of this study is to assess the multiple rising dose safety/tolerability and pharmacokinetics of MK-5823 in overweight/obese participants who are healthy and overweight/obese participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effect of HPP404 versus placebo on body weight in overweight or obese subjects.

The purpose of this observational study is to measure how many people are overweight or obese amongst patients with a diagnosed cardiovascular disease (CVD). The study also aims to characterise the population including the presence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in a number of countries across the globe representing different geographies, ethnicities, as well as different healthcare systems.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change in disease prevalence over time in impoverished urban communities in Lima, Peru.

This is an observational, prospective Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 milligram [mg]) Pregnancy Registry Study. The aim of this study is to compare the maternal, foetal, and infant outcomes of pregnant women who are exposed to Wegovy during pregnancy for the treatment of obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbid condition with outcomes in an internal comparison cohort of pregnant women with obesity or overweight with at least one weight related comorbid condition at conception and who are not exposed to Wegovy or other glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) during pregnancy. Infant outcomes will be assessed throughout the infant's first year of life, with active data collection by the registry occurring at 4 and 12 months after delivery.

The study will look at how two different forms of semaglutide reach and stay in the blood after injection. None of the two forms of semaglutide have been approved by the authorities to treat obesity. Participants will get 1 of the 2 forms of semaglutide - which one is decided by chance. Participants will get the medicine as an injection under the skin of the stomach with the use of a pen-injector. The type of pen-injector is different for the two forms of semaglutide. The study staff will teach participants how to inject themselves with the medicine. As part of this training participants will self inject placebo (dummy medication) 3 times. Participants will take an injection once a week and will get 21 injections in total of study medication. The study will last for about 27-30 weeks. Participants will have 25 study visits with the study doctor. For 2 of the visits, participants will stay in the clinic for 3 days and 2 nights. Participants may have to stop the study if the study doctor thinks that there are risks for their health. Women cannot take part if they are pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.

By affecting the gastroesophageal pressure gradient, obesity predisposes to reflux of gastric contents. The investigators hypothesized that the loss of weight will decrease this gradient and as a result decrease the severity and frequency of GERD symptoms. GERD negatively affects health related quality of life. Since loss of weight may decrease gastroesophageal reflux, the investigators hypothesized that it obesity contributes to poor quality of life in GERD subjects and losing weight should also favorably impact and improve quality of life in GERD patients.
