This study is researching experimental drugs called trevogrumab and garetosmab (called "study drugs") in combination with another drug, semaglutide (Wegovy®). This study will be done in 3 parts, Part A, Part B, and Part C where different study drugs will be tested. Part A of the study is focused on healthy participants. Part B and C of the study is focused on participants with obesity. The aim of Part A of the study is to see how safe and tolerable the study drug is in healthy participants. The aim of Part B and Part C of the study is to see how safe and effective the study drug is when combined with Wegovy. Parts A, B, and C of the study are looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking the study drug * How much study drug is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects)

Revita DMR for Obesity

Jacksonville, Florida
Fractyl is evaluating Revita Duodenal Mucosal Resurfacing (DMR) in the REMAIN-1 pivotal study, which is designed to include two cohorts - an open label cohort referred to as REVEAL-1, and a randomized cohort, which includes both a midpoint analysis and a pivotal analysis. Patients who previously lost at least 15% of their body weight on a GLP-1 can qualify for the open label REVEAL-1 cohort. The data generated from the REVEAL-1 cohort will be used for open label reporting as the study progresses. The REMAIN-1 randomized cohort will enroll patients living with obesity and a body mass index ("BMI") between 30 and 45 kg/m2 who are not currently on a GLP-1 drug. Patients will be prescribed tirzepatide and titrated to achieve at least 15% total body weight loss, at which time tirzepatide will be discontinued and patients will be randomized to Revita versus sham at 2:1. Midpoint Analysis of Randomized Cohort: The midpoint analysis of the randomized cohort will be performed at three months of follow-up on approximately 45 patients, allowing us to assess and report on safety and efficacy signals that could be anticipated in the pivotal analysis. These patients are distinct from those included in the pivotal analysis. Pivotal Analysis of Randomized Cohort: The pivotal analysis of the randomized cohort will be performed on approximately 315 patients (distinct from those included in the midpoint analysis) and will evaluate safety and efficacy in the first co-primary endpoint, which is weight regain from the time of tirzepatide discontinuation in Revita DMR versus sham patients at six months, with a primary objective of demonstrating a benefit of Revita DMR versus sham for weight maintenance after GLP-1 discontinuation. The second co-primary endpoint evaluates a responder rate among the Revita DMR treated group at one year to demonstrate the durability of the Revita DMR procedure for weight maintenance after discontinuation of a GLP-1-based therapy. Secondary objectives will include evaluation of the effectiveness of the Revita DMR procedure on the change in blood glucose levels, cardiovascular disease ("CVD") risk factors, body composition and pre-diabetes status. All patients enrolled in the study will receive diet and lifestyle counseling.

The purpose for this research is to create a MyChart-enabled virtual coach that assists obese patients lose weight prior to ventral hernia surgery. Researchers intend to show how the use of a virtual coach is more effective in preoperative weight reduction prior to ventral hernia repair over usual care. Correspondingly, this may lower unplanned hospital readmissions. For this clinical trial, where randomization is not possible, the study team will implement the use of propensity score matching that sorts individuals into different study arms as if randomly assigned. The primary outcome is the average net amount of time-dependent weight change per group over six months. Secondary outcomes are for the intervention group, patient satisfaction with the virtual coach and for both groups, quality of life. In addition, areas of social and economic disadvantage will be identified that may contribute to higher obesity rates. Machine learning (ML) modeling will be used to determine the important features for weight lost over the course of the study. The impact of this work will be to demonstrate efficacy and realized workflow efficiencies within a hospital-based surgery clinic.

Self-monitoring (of weight, intake, and activity) is a core component in evidence-based lifestyle interventions for obesity. Research has shown that interventionist feedback increases adherence to self-monitoring and improves weight loss outcomes; however, little empirical evidence exists on how this feedback should be provided. This research study aims to optimize the provision of self-monitoring feedback.

Pediatric cancer survivors are at an increased risk of excessive weight gain and reduced exercise behaviors with the potential for this risk to worsen over time. With over 80% of pediatric cancer patients living to adulthood, many pediatric cancer survivors experience long-term health consequences such as heart disease - the leading cause of death in this population. The purpose of this clinical research study is to teach parents/caregivers skills that will help prevent and reduce the problems of obesity in childhood cancer survivors. In this study, parents have the opportunity to participate in one of two web-based groups in which parents in either group will learn valuable information to improve the health of their child and of themselves.

Why Other Patients Applied

"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
Obesity PatientAge: 56

"I have tried to lose weight, but as I get older, it becomes harder and harder. I have lost weight in the past through diet and exercise, but it has been more difficult to accomplish as I age."

JP
Obesity PatientAge: 44

"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
Obesity PatientAge: 69

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

WR
Obesity PatientAge: 58

"I am applying for my daughter. She turns 12 this year and is overweight. She's 5'4" and 176 pounds. Would be great to enroll her in a clinical trial to see if this form of care could work for her. Realize that there's no guarantee, but I support her and we'd like to give it a try."

MW
Parent of PatientAge: 46
This trial tests if the new medicine CagriSema can help people with excess body weight and type 2 diabetes lose weight. Participants will receive either CagriSema or another treatment. The study will last about a year and a half. Cagrilintide and semaglutide are both being investigated for weight management.

The incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in children is increasing, paralleling the rising incidence of obesity. Preventing children and adolescents from developing T2D is critical. The health benefits of lifestyle modifications are well documented in this population, but success rates are low. Obesity in children and adolescents increases the risk of not only T2D but other complications as well, such as hypertension, dyslipidemias and more. The investigators hypothesize that having real-time glucose data with the use of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) in obese patients with impaired glucose tolerance will improve adherence to lifestyle modifications. As a result, a decrease in body mass index (BMI) is expected with subsequent improvement in insulin sensitivity, thus reducing risk of obesity-related complications later in childhood/adolescence and adulthood.

This study is open to adults who are at least 18 years old and have * presumed or confirmed NASH together with overweight or obesity and * a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or more, or * a BMI of 27 kg/m² and at least one weight-related health problem. People with a history of other chronic liver diseases cannot take part in this study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called survodutide helps people living with obesity or overweight and a confirmed or presumed liver disease called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) to have less liver fat and to lose weight. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. 1 group gets different doses of survodutide and 1 group gets placebo. Placebo looks like survodutide but does not contain any medicine. Every participant has a 2 in 3 chance of getting survodutide. Participants and doctors do not know who is in which group. Participants inject survodutide or placebo under their skin once a week for about 1 year. In addition to the study medicine, all participants receive counselling to make changes to their diet and to exercise regularly. Participants are in the study for about 1 year and 3 months. During this time, it is planned that participants visit the study site up to 14 times and receive 3 phone calls by the site staff. The doctors check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. The participants' body weight is regularly measured. At 3 of the visits, the participants' liver is measured using different imaging methods. The results are compared between the groups to see whether the treatment works.
