Active clinical trials for "Overweight"

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of adding guided self-help group therapy to a weight loss program in achieving weight loss and reducing binge eating in overweight binge eaters.

The purpose of this study is determine whether the combination of naltrexone SR and bupropion SR is safe and effective in treating obesity in subjects with type 2 diabetes.

Hypothesis: Cissus quadrangularis as well as Irvingia gabonensis are used in weight management and related conditions. This study set out to investigate if a combination of the two could have additional benefits to overweight and obese people.

Behavioral weight loss, the current treatment of choice for moderate obesity, achieves impressive short term results, however, weight regain following treatment is a major problem. Over 50% of participants in behavioral weight loss programs report difficulty with internal antecedents to unhealthy weight control behaviors and this difficulty is associated with weight regain following treatment. Current treatment approaches do not adequately address these antecedents. The aim of this series of studies is to develop, implement, and evaluate a behavioral weight loss program modified to provide participants with skills to deal effectively with affective and cognitive difficulties. The study targets men and women with BMI of 27-40 who self-report difficulty with emotional and/or cognitive antecedents to unhealthy weight control behaviors. The study is an uncontrolled pilot study in 20 participants to initially assess acceptability and efficacy of the innovative treatment. The long-term goal of this research is to improve the weight loss maintenance outcomes of behavioral weight loss programs by addressing affective and cognitive antecedents to unhealthy weight control behaviors.

The purpose of this study is to determine if oligofructose supplementation promotes weight loss in overweight and obese adults.

The purpose of the study is to show that valsartan compared to atenolol has favorable effects on exercise capacity, quality of life, diastolic function and elevated blood pressure in hypertensive postmenopausal overweight women with impaired exercise tolerance despite normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Dietary carbohydrate is the major determinant of postprandial glucose levels, and preliminary evidence suggests that low carbohydrate diets improve glycemic control when accompanied by weight loss. To determine if glycemic control can be improved by varying dietary carbohydrate during weight loss, we compared two weight loss diets with different carbohydrate levels for the treatment of obesity-related type 2 diabetes over 24 weeks in the outpatient setting.

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effect on body weight of leptin, injected subcutaneously, in combination with pramlintide, injected subcutaneously.

This study aims to investigate the effect of metformin as host-directed therapy in obese/overweight patients with dengue Primary Objective To evaluate the safety and tolerability of metformin in obese/overweight young adults and children with dengue Secondary Objectives To assess the effect of metformin therapy in obese/overweight patients with dengue on physiological, clinical and virological parameters To assess the immunomodulation effects of metformin therapy in obese/overweight patients with dengue To assess difference in gene expression between treatment group compared to non-treatment population

A phase 2 study in two parts (A & B) designed to evaluate the effect of MEDI0382 on Hepatic Glycogen Metabolism in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Approximately 20 subjects will be enrolled in Part A and approximately 30 subjects in Part B.
