Active clinical trials for "Overweight"

This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multiple-ascending dose (MAD) study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of PHP-303 in otherwise healthy overweight or obese volunteer subjects. Within each ascending dose cohort, subjects will be randomized in a 4:1 ratio to receive PHP-303 or placebo. The primary objective is to establish the safety and tolerability and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of orally-administered PHP-303.

The primary objective of STAR01 is to evaluate the performance and safety of the medical device (class IIb) SiPore15™ after a 12-week long treatment in the target population of obese and overweight subjects with prediabetes or newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. The expected performance and safety of the device is based on the safety and efficacy results seen in an earlier First-in-Man (FIM) study. The safety and tolerability of SiPore15™ is based on the well-established and extensive use of food grade silicon dioxide and favorable data from the FIM study. Data on side-effects will be collected for verification of device safety. The study duration is 24 weeks in total, 12 weeks from baseline on investigational medicinal device (IMD) treatment, with additional 12 weeks off treatment. The study population is planned for forty (40) subjects to be enrolled, male and females, age >18 years and fulfilling all inclusion criteria but none of the exclusion criteria.

The aim of this study is to find out how NNC0174-0833 taken with semaglutide works in people who are overweight or obese. Both study medicines have been investigated on their own. The study also looks at how the study medicines behave in participant's body and how they are removed from the participant's body. Participants will get 1 of the following 2 treatments - which treatment any participant gets is decided by chance: Semaglutide (a new medicine) and NNC0174-0833 (a potential new medicine), or semaglutide and placebo (a "dummy medicine similar to the study medicine but without active ingredients). Participants will get 2 injections per week for 20 weeks. A study nurse at the clinic will inject the medicine with a needle in a skin fold in the participant's stomach area. The study will last for about 16 months, but duration of participation for any participant will last up to about 7.5 months. Participants will have 28 clinic visits with the study staff and some will be overnight visits. Participants will be asked about their health, medical history and habits including mental health questionnaires.

This is a feasibility and acceptability study of a 16-month single-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to test the initial effectiveness of a well-being and small lifestyle changes intervention aimed at promoting weight loss and stress reduction in overweight and obese patients with type 2 diabetes. Primary goals of this study are to 1) evaluate study feasibility and patient acceptability, 2) develop a tailored protocol of a behavioral intervention for overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes that takes stress and well-being into consideration, 3) evaluate appropriateness of research procedures and measures, 4) examine effect size estimates of key outcomes to provide essential data to inform a larger efficacy trial, 5) determine whether clinically significant improvements occurred in any key outcomes.

The extract of Dichrostachys glomerata (DyglomeraTM), has been reported to be effective in weight reduction in obese patients with metabolic syndrome. This plant has been shown to have many biological properties and has been reported to have no toxic or adverse side effects in animals. The purpose of this human study was to prove that the effect of reducing body fat percentage (%) after 12 weeks of intake was superior to that of the control group.

This study is a open and multiple dose escalation phase I clinical study, aiming to evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety of Benaglutide Injection in overweight/obese adults after multiple subcutaneous injections. This study will enroll 16 overweight/obese adults, both male and female. The trial was divided into two batches, including 4 subjects who completed all dosing, safety assessment and telephone follow-up, and the remaining 12 subjects who were enrolled for the trial. All subjects received multiple doses (tid) of 0.06 mg, 0.1 mg, 0.14 mg, and 0.2 mg in sequence, followed by the next dose after completing the previous multiple dosing. The administration time of each dose was 0.06 mg for 3 days, 0.1 mg for 3 days, 0.14 mg for 5 days, and 0.2 mg for 5 days. Subjects will be screened at D-14-D-2, and eligible subjects D-2 will be admitted to the phase I clinical trial ward at D-2. D-1 Blank blood samples were collected at different time points before and after breakfast for PK test baseline correction. D1 began by subcutaneously injecting different doses of benaglutide injection 5 minutes before the daily three meals, collecting biological samples at different time points after the first administration of D6, D7, D11, D12 and D16 to evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of Benaglutide. Subjects will be discharged after all samples are collected and safety assessed at D17. Telephone follow-up was performed on the 7th day after discharge (D24±2) to further observe safety.

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effects of a physiotherapist-delivered dietary weight loss program on clinical outcomes among people with knee osteoarthritis (OA) who have overweight or obesity. The primary hypothesis is that a physiotherapist-delivered dietary weight loss plus exercise program will be more effective in achieving weight loss than a physiotherapist-delivered exercise program alone. Approximately 6-9 physiotherapists in Melbourne, Australia will be recruited and trained in weight management for OA patients, as well as trained in how to deliver the specific study interventions. The same therapists will deliver the intervention in both arms of the trial. 88 participants with knee OA will be recruited from the community and randomized into one of the two arms a) diet plus exercise intervention or b) exercise intervention alone. Participants in both groups will be asked to attend 6 consultations with the physiotherapist over 6 months. Questionnaire and laboratory-based outcome measures will be completed by participants at baseline and at the end of the 6 month intervention period. A biostatistician will analyse blinded, de-identified data.

Obesity and overweight are noncommunicable diseases with increasing incidence in children, adolescents and adults. In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults aged 18 and over were overweight and over 650 million were obese (WHO). In the EU-27 (Eurostat data), 45.7% of women and 60.2% of men were overweight, while 16.3% and 16.8%, respectively, were obese. The growing incidence of overweight and obesity generate worldwide increasing incidence of related conditions as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, metabolic disorders, and cancer, with relevant socio-economical (increase in health costs, increase in disabilities) and environmental consequences (unsustainability of food models, increase in ecological footprint, worsening of climate changes). A transformation of food systems and individual behaviours are necessary to improve the quality of life and the sustainability of lifestyle, which should be oriented at preventing o treating overweight and obesity.

The gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem with a wide range of functions, and it is thought that it can influence multiple processes in the human body. In turn, the composition and activity of the gut microbiome is affected by many factors as well. Antibiotics can be very effective in treating bacterial infections, but they are also associated with detrimental health effects. Previous studies have already shown that antibiotics disturb the human gut microbiome composition by destroying commensal bacteria. As it is well known that the microbiome influences host metabolism, perturbation of the healthy microbiome (dysbiosis) is thought to be disease causing. Prebiotics, on the other hand, are beneficial for the gut microbiome. These so-called indigestible fibers are naturally present in our foods, but cannot be metabolised by the human body. Many bacteria in the human gut are able to ferment these fibers and they subsequently produce beneficial products for the rest of the body. Besides this, fiber intake stimulates growth of commensal bacteria in the human gut. Although it has become increasingly clear that prebiotics have a beneficial effect on the gut microbiome and general health, it is still unclear to which extent the beneficial effects of prebiotics supplementation occur after the gut microbiome is disturbed by antibiotics. We hypothesize that prebiotic supplementation after antibiotics use will improve restoration of the gut microbiome to a healthy state compared to placebo.

This research will constitute a 3 years follow-up which includes a re-assessment and re-intervention of obese or overweight adults with hypertension, recruited from a hypertension unit of a public hospital, that already participated in a similar program 3 years ago. At the same time, the aim of the study is to analyze the effects of the current program, which will take 3 months and promotes lifestyle changes focusing on healthy eating and increased physical activity in their 9 modules, comparing the results obtained in 2018. These patients will be allocated into one experimental group. Assessment will include: Blood Pressure, Body Mass Index, Physical Activity levels, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet.
