Obesity ยท Overweight
The purpose of this pediatric, chronic weight management, Phase 3 Master Protocol (PWMP) is to create a framework to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pharmacologic agents for the treatment of obesity or overweight in pediatric participants.
MASLD - Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease ยท Obesity ยท Overweight (BMI > 25)
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether ingestion of a ketone ester drink helps improve liver health and blood glucose control. Ketones are a type of energy source made by the body during times of weight loss, low carbohydrate intake and starvation. People enrolled in this study will be randomly assigned (by chance, like the flip of a coin) to one of two groups: Group 1: Ketone ester drink consumed daily for 6 weeks. Group 2: Placebo drink consumed daily for 6 weeks.
Sleep Apnea, Obstructive ยท Obesity ยท Overweight
The purpose of the studies is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eloralintide in participants with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea and obesity or overweight. YDAO is a master protocol designed to support two independent studies: YSA1 and YSA2. Study YSA1 will include participants who are unable or unwilling to use Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy and study YSA2 will include participants who are on PAP therapy for at least 3 months at time of screening and plan to continue PAP therapy during the study. Participants will be assigned to the Intervention-Specific Appendix (ISA) that reflects their current PAP usage. Participation in the study will last about 76 weeks.
Obesity ยท Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease ยท Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of transcription factor EB (TFEB) in adipose (fat) tissue macrophages (ATM) in regulating adipose tissue and systemic metabolic function in obesity. The investigators will assess the differences in ATM lipid metabolism in people with metabolically abnormal obesity and lean individuals. Both groups will have: * screening visit * imaging (body composition testing - dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans, magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\] and magnetic resonance spectroscopy \[MRS\] scans) * Overnight visit with intravenous infusion (IV), muscle, and fat tissue biopsies
Obesity
The purpose of this clinical study is to find out if NNC0487-0111 is safe and effective for treating people who have excess body weight. There are 2 study treatments in this study taken as injections under the skin once a week. Participants will either get NNC0487-0111 (the treatment being tested) or Placebo (a treatment that has no active medicine in it). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance.
Obesity &Amp; Overweight
This study is investigating the benefits of whole freeze-dried grape powder consumption on the immune-gut axis in adults with obesity.
Cardiovascular Diseases ยท Obesity
This project will conduct a pilot hybrid study that examines the implementation (Aims 1 \& 2) and preliminary effectiveness (Aim 3) of PREVENT, a digital health intervention, among patients with overweight/obesity (N=100) using a clinic-randomized design. The central hypothesis of the study is that PREVENT will be feasible and show improvements in health behavior counseling and the patient experience that will improve patients' motivation to change, and their CVH health behaviors and outcomes.
Diabetes ยท Obesity
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is essential for maintaining brain health and function, as it ensures delivery oxygen and nutrients necessary to support neuronal activity. Reduced CBF can impair the brain's ability to meet its metabolic demands, leading to deficits in cognitive ability. Impairments in CBF are associated with cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer's and dementia. Many factors influence CBF, but recently lactate has emerged as a key player. Blood glucose has long been considered the primary fuel for the brain, but emerging evidence indicates that lactate may be the preferred fuel for neurons, and lactate may become even more important under stressful conditions. Individuals with obesity often have impaired lactate metabolism resulting in higher resting blood lactate concentrations and reduced ability to clear lactate after a physiological stress. At the same time, it is known that exercise is a powerful intervention for improving lactate metabolism. Thus, this project seeks to investigate the role of lactate in brain blood flow in individuals with and without obesity as well as establish if short term exercise training (individuals with obesity only) will alter circulating lactate concentrations at rest and in response to exercise.
Obesity or Overweight
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of enicepatide, a dual glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1)/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist (RA), at multiple doses compared with placebo for weight management in participants without Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who have obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity.
Overweight ยท Obesity ยท Overweight and/or Obesity
This study is being done to learn about the safety and effects of the study drugs, PF-08653945 and PF-08653944, when given alone or together for weight loss, compared to a placebo (a dummy drug that has no active ingredient in it).
Obesity ยท Overweight
The main purpose of this study, performed under Master Protocol J4M-MC-PWMP (NCT06672549), is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of orforglipron once daily oral versus Placebo in adolescent participants with obesity, or overweight with related comorbidities. Participation in the study will last about 18 months. Participants who have completed the primary PW01 study (including the 4-week safety follow-up period) will have the opportunity to receive an additional 156 weeks of treatment with orforglipron as well as continuing the lifestyle intervention.
Crohn's Disease ยท Obesity or Overweight
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mirikizumab and placebo compared with mirikizumab and concomitantly administered tirzepatide in adult participants with moderately to severely active CD and obesity, or overweight. The maximum duration of this study is up to 61 weeks.
Pediatric Overweight
The objectives of this open trial feasibility study are to examine the impacts of intensive health behavior and lifestyle treatment (IHBLT) on youth and caregiver executive functioning (EF), weight status, health behaviors (dietary intake, disordered eating, physical activity), and psychological functioning. Investigators propose to enroll 10 youth 13 to 17 years of age who have overweight or obesity (OV/OB) and a primary caregiver. Families will receive six months of evidence-based family focused group IHBLT based on social, cognitive, and family systems theories. Families will complete assessments of EF skills (objective and self-report), weight status, dietary intake, physical activity, and psychological functioning at pre- and post-treatment.
Obesity and Cardiovascular Risk
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of BGE-102 on blood biomarkers including hsCRP, which is a lab value used to measure inflammation. BGE-102 decreases inflammation which may improve obesity and cardiovascular health. Participants will receive either BGE-102 or placebo. This study will be checking safety and tolerability of BGE-102.
Obesity ยท Vasodilation ยท Healthy
The purpose of this project is to examine key mechanisms contributing to sex-differences in hypoxic vasodilation and the impact of obesity, with particular emphasis on the sympathetic nervous system.
Overweight ยท Obesity
The main purpose of this study, performed under the master protocol W8M-MC-CWMM (NCT06143956), is to examine the body weight-lowering efficacy and safety of macupatide plus eloralintide compared with placebo in participants with obesity or overweight and without type 2 diabetes. Participation will last about 64 weeks.
Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes
Insulin is a hormone that is made by ฮฒ-cells in the pancreas and when released into the bloodstream helps control blood sugar levels. Insulin release is regulated by electrical activity in the ฮฒ-cell which is generated by the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel. While reduced KATP activity is associated with increased insulin secretion, animals lacking KATP exhibit reduced secretion. This crossover from hypersecretion to undersecretion with KATP loss mirrors insulin secretion during type 2 diabetes. Intriguingly, evidence from cell and animal models suggest that chronically stimulated ฮฒ-cells can lose KATP revealing a possible role for KATP loss in the failure of insulin secretion and poor control of blood sugar observed in type 2 diabetes. This study will therefore examine insulin responses following ingestion of a single dose of a sulfonylurea called glipizide that inhibits KATP channels in people with and without type 2 diabetes. The goal is to determine whether KATP channel activity is reduced during type 2 diabetes progression.
Obesity ยท Cardiovascular Diseases
The focus on this application is low-income, rural patients, since cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence is 40% higher among rural than urban residents. Health behavior counseling and follow-up care are required for patients with an elevated body mass index who have increased risk for CVD. Counseling is most effective when developed with, and tailored to, the patient and offered with resources that support healthy food intake and physical activity. Resource referral and follow-up is particularly important in rural low income residents who often have more severe social needs that impede healthy behaviors. The proposed research will leverage the candidate's digital health tool (PREVENT) for healthcare teams to use within the clinic visit. PREVENT visually displays patient-reported and electronic health record (EHR) data to facilitate counseling and deliver tailored physical activity and healthy food intake goals and resources. PREVENT may improve the quality of required care and promote cardiovascular health equity. This research will: 1) collaborate with rural and clinic partners to modify and integrate the PREVENT tool for low-income, rural patients with obesity (Aim 1); and 2) conduct a pilot pragmatic clinical trial of PREVENT to optimize feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, and potential health equity impact.
