RemI for Post-Bariatric Surgery Weight Regain

Obesity · Bariatric Surgery Candidate

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of remotely-delivered interventions (utilizing acceptance-based behavioral treatment skills (ABTi)) amongst bariatric surgery populations who are experiencing weight regain postoperatively (\> 5% from their lowest postoperative weight and after postoperative Month 6). Investigators aim to evaluate ABTi's efficacy for reversing weight regain and its effect on targeted weight control behaviors and weight-related comorbidities by comparing participants randomly assigned ABTi (n = 100) to those assigned to a Control group that also receives brief phone calls but that focus on reiterating instruction on the dietary and behavioral changes required of surgery and initially taught preoperatively (C, n = 100). The main research aims are: 1. To compare changes in body weight over 12 months in 200 bariatric patients who have regained \> 5% of their weight and are randomly assigned to ABTi or Control. 2. To compare changes in eating behaviors (i.e., caloric intake, frequency of maladaptive eating behaviors), physical activity, and weight-related comorbidities (i.e., biomarkers of diabetes, hypertension) over 12 months in the two groups. 3. Exploratory - To test ABTi's theoretical mechanisms of action, including a) effects of theory-based active ingredients (i.e., acceptance, defusion, values clarity, mindfulness) on weight outcomes and b) changes in impact of internal states (i.e., hunger, cravings) on eating behavior.

Pharmacogenetics of Response to GLP1R Agonists

Obesity · Diabetes Type 2

Overweight/obese otherwise healthy volunteers will be recruited from the Old Order Amish population in Lancaster County, PA. Lancaster County, PA. Pharmacodynamic responses to GLP1R agonist will be assessed by conducting frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance tests (FSIGT) both before and after semaglutide for six weeks. The proposal proposes two specific aims: 1. Specific Aim #1. To identify genetic variants associated with effects of a GLP1R agonist to enhance glucose-stimulated first phase insulin secretion in the two FSIGTs (before and after administration of drug). 2. Specific Aim #2. To identify genetic variants associated with the effect of a GLP1R agonist to accelerate the rate of glucose disappearance as assessed in the two FSIGTs (before and after administration of drug). Genotyping will be conducted using a high-density array with comprehensive coverage of DNA sequence variants. In addition, the analysis will leverage a global imputation panel generated from 1,025 Amish individuals.

Fast In-Bed Tracking (FIT) System Lifestyle Intervention is a Clinical Trial of a Bed Scale Device. Overweight Wheelchair Users Will Complete a Weight Loss Program, Half Get Scales at Baseline, Half at Month 6 Those Who Receive the Bed Scales at Baseline Are Expected to Have Increased Weight Loss

Disability Physical · Wheelchair · Obesity; Overweight

This project will complete the final design and development steps to commercialize the Fast In-Bed Tracking (FIT) Platform, which is an e-Health and wellness Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring system that can be integrated into a user's bed and provide person-centered, real-world outcomes to support health and wellness. The technical feasibility of FIT was proven over the past several years and has demonstrated the platform can support the treatment of several chronic conditions across different populations, including obesity, congestive heart failure, and pressure injuries. The project goals will be to (1) complete design refinements for FIT and (2) demonstrate the platform's efficacy to support weight loss goals of wheelchair users. Wheelchair users are twice as likely as the general population to be overweight or obese and excess weight not only exacerbates mobility and participation limitations but increases risk for secondary health problems. Evidence reveals that frequent weight monitoring is a key driver for weight management, which puts wheelchair users at a significant disadvantage, because they have no convenient way to measure their body weight. As a recent example, lack of participant's ability to self-weigh was a noted limitation to a weight loss program for wheelchair users, known as the Group Lifestyle Balance weight loss program Adapted for Individuals with Impaired Mobility (GLB-AIM). FIT solves this challenge by passively monitoring a user's weight when they get on and off their bed. The investigators lab and community-based feasibility trials demonstrated that FIT successfully tracks weight for individuals and couples sharing a bed and that users find FIT highly usable. This proposed project will allow the investigators to complete the design refinements participants recommended during our community-based feasibility trial and subsequently examine the efficacy of FIT in supporting the weight-loss goals of community-dwelling wheelchair users through a randomized controlled trial using the GLB-AIM.

Healthy Mom Zone Gestational Weight Gain Management Intervention 2.0

Gestational Weight Gain · Overweight and Obesity · Pregnancy

The goal of this clinical trial is to see if the enhanced HMZ 2.0 intervention with new control system/digital platform to regulate gestational weight gain (GWG) and impact maternal-infant outcomes while collecting implementation data works and can be given to other pregnant women in various settings. The question this study aims to answer are: 1. Does the new intervention manage GWG? 2. Does the new intervention have any influence on sleep and eating behaviors and infant outcomes. 3. Does the new platform and other data collected help inform how well the research and information can be used in health care settings? 144 pregnant women with overweight/obesity will be randomized to either the HMZ 2.0 intervention or attention control groups from \~8-36 weeks gestation. All participants will be asked to: 1. Weight themselves and wear an activity monitor each day over the study. 2. Complete online surveys at either a weekly or monthly level about their thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors on GWG, physical activity, eating behaviors, sleep, their anxiety, depression, and stress. 3. Attend weekly sessions with a registered dietician. The weekly sessions will differ based on intervention group. The HMZ 2.0 intervention group will receive education, create and follow goal-setting and action plans, self-monitor their behaviors, and receive feature evidence and fetal growth facts. Education, goals, and self-monitoring will focus on GWG, physical activity, eating behaviors, sleep, self-regulating behaviors and emotions, and preparing for labor/delivery and postpartum. The attention control group will receive weekly sessions on preparing for labor/delivery and benefits of behavioral pain management strategies (e.g., mindfulness-based relaxation, imagery, music, massage, deep-breathing) to help with pain after childbirth without medicine.
