Active clinical trials for "Overweight"

This study aims to analyze the effects of a 3 months duration self-applied online program, composed of 9 modules focused on promoting healthy lifestyle habits (healthy eating and increased physical activity), on obese or overweight adults with hypertension. Participants will be recruited from a hypertension unit of a public hospital. These patients will be randomized allocated into two interventional groups: experimental group will receive audiovisual instructions from their hypertension specialist doctor, and the control group from a doctor outside the patient. Assessment will include: body composition (BMI), blood pressure, levels of physical activity, functional capacity, fall risk, and quality of life.

The study will look at how 2 different semaglutide versions reach and stay in the blood after injection. The study aims to show similar levels of semaglutide in the blood when using the different semaglutide versions. Participants will get 1 of the 2 versions of semaglutide - which version is decided by chance. One version is the one that doctors already can prescribe and the other is the new version. Participants will get the medicine as an injection under the skin of the belly with a pen-injector. The type of pen-injector is different for the 2 versions of semaglutide. Participants will receive 7 once-weekly injections in total. The study will last for about 80-106 days. Participants will have 19 study visits with the study doctor. For 2 of the visits, participants will stay in the clinic, 1 visit for 2 days and 1 night and the other visit for 4 days and 3 nights. Participants may have to stop the study if the study doctor thinks that there are risks for their health. Participants cannot take part in this study if they have any disease or disorder that the study doctor thinks is a health problem. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.

The primary objective of this trial is to investigate safety and tolerability of BI 1356225 in male and female patients with overweight and obesity following oral administration of multiple rising doses per day over 28 days. Secondary objectives are the exploration of pharmacokinetics (PK) of BI 1356225 after multiple oral dosing. Additionally, the relative bioavailability (BA) of midazolam and celecoxib in the presence and absence of BI 1356225 will be evaluated

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect on weight loss in a group of subjects suffering from overweight and mild obesity (BMI between 25 and 32 Kg/m2) and with weight > 75 Kg/m2 being administered with a 3 g/day polyglucosamine dosage.

Background: The relationship between the frequency of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and the resultant adaptations is largely unclear. Purpose: This study examined the effects of different frequencies of HIIT compared to moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on body composition and cardiovascular biomarkers in overweight or obese adults. Methods: This study was a randomized, controlled, single-blinded trial. Fifty-six overweight or obese men aged between 18 and 30 years were randomly assigned to no-intervention control (CON; n=14), MICT performed thrice weekly (MICT×3/wk; n=9), HIIT performed thrice weekly (HIIT×3/wk; n=14), HIIT performed twice weekly (HIIT×2/wk; n=10), and HIIT performed once weekly (HIIT×1/wk; n=9). Each HIIT session consisted of 12 × 1-min bouts at 90% heart rate reserve (HRR), interspersed with 11 × 1-min bouts at 70% HRR (HIIT×3/wk: 69 min/wk; HIIT×2/wk: 46 min/wk; HIIT×1/wk: 23 min/wk). Aerobic capacity, resting heart rate, body composition, waist circumference, blood pressure, endothelial function, fasting blood glucose and lipids, circulatory adipokines and inflammatory biomarkers were examined at baseline, after 4 weeks and 8 weeks of intervention.

The proposed single arm 6 mo. trial will assess the impact of weight loss and fat loss due to a multicomponent remotely-delivered lifestyle intervention on ovulation rates and time-to-ovulation in overweight and obese women with anovulatory infertility caused by PCOS.

This is a Phase 2a, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study in up to 20 overweight or obese participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The participants will participate in the study for approximately 18 weeks, including screening, run-in and treatment periods and a safety follow-up.

The coadyouvant efficacy of a combination of cosmetics ingredients in the form of a lipolytic cream with hypocaloric diet and physical activity were assessed and compared with with hypocaloric diet and physical activity for overweight and obesity treatment in patients.

Currently, the best behavioral treatments for obesity only work for 50% of adults, and of those who initially succeed, most do not maintain their weight loss. One reason for this failure may be due to neurocognitive deficits found among individuals with obesity, particularly related to executive function, which make it difficult for these adults to adhere to treatment recommendations. The proposed study aims to develop a Novel Executive Function Treatment (NEXT), which when administered prior to the behavioral treatment, could help improve outcomes by addressing the neurocognitive deficits in adults with overweight or obesity.

The purpose of this trial is to examine the effects of a novel, orally consumed dietary supplement (composed of naturally occurring components) on weight management and metabolic rate in individuals who are overweight or obese following a 12-week supplementation period. The investigator's primary outcome will be changes in body composition measured via dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), which will measure changes in fat and lean mass during the supplementation period. Another primary objective will be to determine whether or not the body mass index (BMI) changes during the supplementation period. A secondary objective of the study is to determine whether anthropometric measurements (waist-to-hip ratio) is altered following the supplementation period. Another secondary objective of this study is to determine whether metabolic rate (as measured in VO2 consumption at rest and during exercise) is changed following the supplementation period. Another secondary objective is to determine whether blood pressure (systolic and diastolic pressure, measured in mm Hg) and physical function (measured via VO2peak in mL/min/kg-1 and leg strength in kilograms) change when the supplement is administered over a 12-week period. Another secondary objective will determine how glycemic control, blood markers of inflammation and cholesterol are affected by this intervention.
