Anti-Obesity Medications for Obesity

Kansas City, Kansas
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about changes in body composition related to obesity medication use, and whether aerobic or resistance exercise training will impact these body composition changes. It will also provide information about whether aerobic or resistance exercise training has additional benefits on other health and fitness measurements. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there a difference in the change in body composition (fat mass, lean mass, muscle mass, and bone content) between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in body weight and BMI between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in cardiorespiratory fitness between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in how much physical activity is completed between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in physical function between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in muscle strength between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in resting blood pressure between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in food intake between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in health-related quality of life between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? Participants will: * Participate in an intervention for a period of 6 months that involves being assigned to a no exercise/standard medical care condition, or a supervised exercise condition (aerobic training or resistance training). * Visit the clinical before starting the study and at 6 months to complete study measurements of their body composition and other measurements to monitor their progress. * Complete a brief monitoring session at weeks 6, 12, and 18 across the 6 months. * Complete supervised exercise sessions at the research center 3x per week for 6 months (Participants in the exercise groups only: aerobic training or resistance training).

WR
Obesity PatientAge: 58

"I need to lose weight because it's affecting my knees. I've already had a knee replacement and the second one is happening on the left knee in a few months. I've participated in a study in the past for a skin-related issue, and had a good experience. That's why I'm interested in joining a study for wieght loss."

KI

"I have a heart condition, and my fat is all in my chest, surrounding my heart. It's hard for me to exercise because my legs are thin and the upper body weight is too much — putting strain on my leg joints. It’s a vicious cycle. I am also post-menopausal, which adds additional weight loss difficulty. I also have stress with being a full time caregiver for my mom. I'm interested in trying a clinical trial."

DK

PQQ for Maternal Obesity

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Maternal obesity (MO) affects 1 in 5 women and is strongly linked to increased birth weight, childhood/adolescent obesity, life-long metabolic and inflammatory disorders, and childhood neuropsychiatric disorders. There remains a critical unmet need for developing a safe and effective non-pharmacological approach for attenuating metabolic inflammation and ameliorating the adverse effects of MO on offspring health that originate in utero and extend into the lactational period. Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a diet-derived natural food supplement with anti-inflammatory properties that, in humans and mice, improves metabolism and exerts potent immunoregulatory effects. Researchers' central hypothesis is that PQQ administration during MO pregnancy 1) improves maternal metabolic and inflammatory indices, 2) improves utero-placental blood flow and ameliorates placental maladaptation (oxidative stress, hypoxia, inflammation and fatty acid transporter expression) and 3) reduces neonatal adiposity.

Culturally Tailored Diabetes Prevention for Prediabetes

Kansas City, Missouri
African Americans (AAs) have rates of diabetes mellitus (DM) twice that of Whites and are disproportionately affected by leading risk factors for DM - obesity and low-income. A critical strategy in the battle against DM is the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), an evidence-based intervention that significantly delays or prevents Type 2 diabetes through the promotion of diet change, exercise and modest weight loss. However, weight loss from the DPP among AAs is about half that of White participants, and suboptimal AA attendance is a critical contributor. The investigators propose to conduct a study that will address social determinants (SD) that challenge DPP attendance with underserved African Americans from a safety net hospital. The investigators will examine DPP attendance and weight loss with participants randomized to 3 groups: standard DPP, a culturally-tailored DPP to address acceptability, and a culturally-tailored DPP enhanced to address socioeconomic-related barriers to DPP participation. This novel study is the first to tailor the DPP to address SD cultural and socioeconomic barriers that limit DPP attendance and reduce its effectiveness on outcomes. The proposed multidimensional, SD tailored DPP has great potential to be a feasible and scalable model to reduce DM risks among urban, African Americans and ultimately reduce DM disparities.

Azithromycin for Maternal Obesity

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Obesity increases the risk of pregnancy complications, including puerperal infections and cesarean delivery, and risk rises with increasing body mass index (BMI). Since obese women are more likely to have comorbidities that would necessitate delivery prior to their due date (i.e. prior to 40 weeks gestation), and class III obesity specifically is an indication for delivery by 39 weeks, these patients have a high rate of labor induction. In nulliparous women from the general population (obese and non-obese), labor induction at 39 weeks (compared to expectant management) is associated with less maternal morbidity and a lower cesarean rate. Researchers previously conducted a pilot randomized placebo-controlled trial in obese, nulliparous women undergoing labor induction at term and found that the cesarean delivery rate was lower in women who received a prophylactic antibiotic regimen during labor compared with those who received the placebo. Researchers proposed multi-center trial aims to test this hypothesis in a large sample with adequate power to determine whether prophylactic antibiotics during labor are associated with a decrease in the rate of cesarean delivery in term, nulliparous, obese women. If the findings from the pilot trial are confirmed, this would represent a novel intervention to decrease the cesarean delivery rate in a subset of women at highest risk for cesarean-related complications.

Behavioral Weight Loss + Progestin for Endometrial Hyperplasia

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Up to 60% of endometrial cancer cases are attributed to obesity, in part because obesity promotes development of atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH), and up to 40% of women with AEH go on to develop endometrial cancer. The increasing prevalence of obesity in premenopausal women has resulted in increasing rates of AEH in this age group. Hysterectomy with removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries is 100% effective in preventing endometrial cancer, but this approach results in infertility. Fertility-sparing treatments exist, such as treatment with oral or intrauterine progestin, but these treatments do not work uniformly and do not combat the underlying cause of endometrial cancer, which is obesity and metabolic syndrome. Additionally, up to 41% of women on progestin eventually experience relapse of AEH or endometrial cancer. Third, many patients have insulin resistance that may worsen with progestin therapy. Thus, to improve treatment of AEH and grade 1 endometrial cancer, prevent and reverse endometrial cancer, and allow women to preserve their fertility, the investigators must integrate an effective weight loss strategy to be given with progestin treatment. It is the hypothesis that premenopausal women with AEH desire uterine preservation will be more likely to have atypia-free uterine preservation at one year if they receive progestin in combination with a behavioral weight loss intervention versus progestin plus enhanced usual care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Obesity clinical trials in Hays, KS pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Obesity clinical trials in Hays, KS work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Obesity trials in Hays, KS 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in Hays, KS for Obesity is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in Hays, KS several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Obesity medical study in Hays, KS?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Obesity clinical trials in Hays, KS?

Most recently, we added Cagrilintide + CagriSema for Childhood Obesity, EAT Family Style + Better Kid Care for Healthy Eating and NNC0662-0419 for Obesity to the Power online platform.

What is the new treatment for obesity?

The “new” treatments are weekly injections of GLP-1–based drugs such as semaglutide (Wegovy) and the dual GIP/GLP-1 drug tirzepatide (Zepbound), which curb appetite and slow stomach emptying; in large trials they helped adults lose roughly 15-22 % of their starting weight over 12–18 months when combined with diet and exercise. They are prescription-only, must be used long-term to keep the weight off, and while most side-effects are mild stomach upset, they can be expensive and require close medical follow-up—so you and your clinician should weigh these pros and cons against other options like older pills, bariatric surgery, and structured lifestyle programs.

How much do I get paid for a clinical trial?

There is no single rate, but in the U.S. healthy-volunteer Phase I studies usually pay about $75–$150 for a short outpatient visit or $300–$500 per overnight, adding up to roughly $1,500–$6,000 for a multi-day study; later-phase trials for people who already have the illness typically offer a smaller stipend—often $25–$100 per visit—plus travel reimbursement. Amounts are set case-by-case by the study sponsor and ethics board, based on the time you give up, the inconvenience or discomfort involved (blood draws, overnight stays, special diets), and any out-of-pocket costs, and they must be prorated so you can stop at any time and still receive payment for the visits you’ve completed.

How much weight can you lose with ESG surgery?

Large studies find that people lose roughly 15–20 % of their starting weight after endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty—about 30–50 lb if you begin at 200–250 lb—and most keep the bulk of that off for at least two years when they stay in a structured nutrition and activity program. Your exact result can be higher or lower depending on your initial BMI, how closely you follow the dietary and lifestyle plan, and whether you attend regular follow-up visits with the bariatric team.

What weight is considered obese?

For adults, obesity starts at a body-mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m²—so take your height in metres, square it, and multiply by 30 to see the weight cut-off. Example: 5′4″ (1.63 m) → 1.63² × 30 ≈ 88 kg / 194 lb; 6′0″ (1.83 m) → 1.83² × 30 ≈ 102 kg / 225 lb. BMI is only a quick gauge—muscle mass, ethnicity, waist size, and other health factors matter too—so use it as a starting point and confirm risks with your healthcare professional.

Who is eligible for tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is eligible for adults in two settings: (1) as Mounjaro to improve blood-sugar control in type-2 diabetes, and (2) as Zepbound for weight management if you have obesity (BMI ≥ 30) or are overweight (BMI ≥ 27) with at least one related condition such as high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, sleep apnea, heart disease, or type-2 diabetes. You are NOT a candidate if you’re pregnant, under 18, or have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN-2; your doctor will also screen for issues like pancreatitis, severe stomach problems, or other risks before prescribing. In short, meeting the diabetes or weight criteria and having no major contraindications makes you a potential candidate, but final approval comes after a thorough medical review.

What tests are done for unexplained weight gain?

Doctors usually start with a history and physical exam, then order a small “baseline” panel—complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel (kidney + liver), fasting glucose/HbA1c, cholesterol, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and a pregnancy test in women of child-bearing age. If exam findings point to a specific cause, they add focused tests: e.g., cortisol or prolactin for suspected hormone tumors, sex-hormone and ultrasound for possible PCOS, heart or kidney studies for fluid retention, or imaging of the pituitary/adrenal glands. In short, everyone gets the core labs, and any further blood work or scans are chosen only when your symptoms or medications suggest a particular problem.

Can a morbidly obese person lose weight without surgery?

Yes. Rigorous studies show that people with class III (“morbid”) obesity can shed 6-8 % of their starting weight through weekly lifestyle-coaching programs, and often 15-20 % when the same program is paired with new once-a-week injections such as semaglutide (Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Zepbound); endoscopic sleeve procedures add another non-surgical option in the same range. Because even a 5-10 % loss markedly improves blood pressure, diabetes and sleep-apnea, doctors usually start with dietitian-guided eating plans, gradual activity and behaviour counselling, then add medication if weight hasn’t dropped by about 5 % after three months—saving surgery for those who still need more help.

How to get rid of fat deposits on legs?

You can’t melt fat from your legs alone, so aim for gradual overall weight loss (a modest calorie deficit built around whole foods) while doing both full-body cardio and leg-strength exercises such as squats or lunges 2-3 times a week—the combo burns calories and builds muscle that makes legs look firmer as fat comes off. If your legs stay disproportionately large, painful or bruise easily, ask a clinician about lipedema or other medical causes, because lifestyle changes help most people but specialised treatment is sometimes needed.

How to get Ozempic for weight loss?

Ozempic (semaglutide) can be prescribed for weight loss, but it is technically an off-label use; most clinicians instead start with the weight-loss version of the same drug, Wegovy. To pursue either one, confirm you meet typical criteria (BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with a weight-related condition), then see a primary-care doctor, endocrinologist, or an obesity-medicine/telehealth service that can review your labs, rule out contraindications, and submit any required prior-authorization to your insurer or the manufacturer’s savings program. Expect a gradual dose-escalation schedule, routine follow-ups for side-effects such as nausea, and the need to pair the medication with diet and activity changes to maintain the ~15 % average weight loss seen in clinical trials.

Which drink is good for belly fat loss?

No drink can “melt” belly fat on its own; losing abdominal fat still comes down to taking in fewer calories than you burn. The most studied helpers are plain water (pre-meal water can curb appetite), unsweetened green tea or black coffee (their caffeine and, for green tea, catechins give a small metabolic boost). Choose these without added sugar, pair them with balanced meals and regular exercise, and they can support—rather than drive—belly-fat loss.
