      Body Composition Effects for Vascular Health

      Muncie, Indiana
      Most of the time, body weight is evaluated by looking at the ratio of your weight to your height. This measurement is called body mass index or BMI. However, BMI does not account for what your body is actually made up of (e.g., body fat versus muscle), which may be more important for determining cardiovascular disease risk. The investigators aim to understand vascular health in females with a "healthy" BMI with differing amounts of body fat and muscle mass. We will have participants come to the lab for two different study visits. At one visit, participants will eat a meal high in fat, and at the other visit, participants will undergo a stress task.

      Metabolic Surgery for Atrial Fibrillation

      Cleveland, Ohio
      Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. It is estimated that between 3 and 6 million Americans are currently living with AF, while 12 million people in the United States will have AF in 2030. Obesity and its comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes (T2DM), hypertension, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are major risk factors for development and progression of AF. Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS) is the most effective currently available treatment for obesity. Patients typically lose 20 to 35 percent of body weight after surgery which is often sustained for many years. MBS can improve all 5 major risk factors of AF including obesity, hypertension, T2DM, OSA, and systemic inflammation. The purpose of the study is to understand if MBS can affect the severity of AF and the toll AF's symptoms take on patients.

      Nonendoscopic Screening for Barrett's Esophagus

      Cleveland, Ohio
      The veteran population is at increased risk for EAC and its precursor lesion, Barrett's esophagus (BE), due to increased prevalence of disease risk factors compared to the general population. BE is traditionally diagnosed only when patients undergo endoscopy with biopsies. However, due to the high cost of endoscopy and the lack of studies proving efficacy of screening, endoscopy to screen for BE is not routinely recommended. A simpler screening procedure similar to a pap smear would be an ideal way to sample the esophageal tissue for cancer and its precursor condition, BE. This study proposes a non-endoscopic detection method administered in outpatient offices which would increase subsequent endoscopic detection of BE. The study team will be enrolling veterans who do not have history of gastroesophageal reflux but have multiple risk factors for esophageal adenocarcinoma.

      ESD-TORe vs APC-TORe for Obesity After Gastric Bypass

      Cleveland, Ohio
      The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two variations of the same procedure used to assist with weight loss in patients who have a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass who have experienced weight regain. The procedure being studied is called the Transoral Outlet Reduction (TORe), and the trial will compare two different ways to complete the TORe procedure. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Which variation of the TORe procedure results in more weight loss? * Which variation of the TORe is safer? Participants who are eligible and willing to undergo the TORe procedure to assist with weight loss will have the procedure completed either one of the two ways. All other care will be exactly the same between the two groups. Researchers will compare outcomes between the two procedure variations, looking at which one results in more weight loss, is more successful, and safer.

      BI 456906 for Diabetes and Obesity

      Lexington, Kentucky
      This study is open to adults who are at least 18 years old and have a body mass index of 27 kg/m² or more. People can take part if they have type 2 diabetes and if they are currently being treated only with diet and exercise or with specific diabetes medications. Only people who have previously not managed to lose weight by changing their diet can participate. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called survodutide (BI 456906) helps people living with overweight or obesity who also have diabetes to lose weight. Participants are divided into 3 groups by chance, like drawing names from a hat. 2 groups get 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 inject survodutide or placebo under their skin once a week for about one and a half years. 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 7 months. During this time, it is planned that participants visit the study site up to 14 times and receive 6 phone calls by the site staff. The doctors check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. The study staff also regularly measure participants' body weight. The results are compared between the groups to see whether the treatment works.

      Family Wellness Education for Childhood Obesity

      Lexington, Kentucky
      Childhood is an opportune time to intervene in obesity because behaviors that are developed during this time can have long-lasting effects and disrupt trajectories of obesity. This proposal aims to test the feasibility (i.e., participant acceptance, adherence, and retention) of a family-oriented intervention "AyUDA" (Aprender y Utilizar Decisiones Apreciables-Learning and Utilizing Significant Choices). The culturally tailored, two-arm adapted intervention to engage Latinx parents in healthy feeding and lifestyle practices for their children 2-5 years old, thereby reducing early childhood overweight and obesity. The investigators will use concepts of the Social-Ecological Framework for Obesity among Latinx, and the Social Learning Theory that emphasizes the importance of observing, modeling, and imitating behaviors. This approach includes a community engagement partnership with one clinic that serves a great number of Latinx families with 2-5 aged children in Central Kentucky (General Pediatric Clinic-Clinica Amiga). The investigators propose a two-arm randomized clinical trial (RCT) randomly assigning participants to either a telehealth deep cultural level group or a culturally traditional educational group in a sample of 40 Latinx families who will be followed for six months after the intervention. Moreover, investigators will explore short-term changes of the intervention on dietary behavior changes and anthropometric measurements among family members. The feasibility study will inform effect sizes that will be used to estimate statistical power for a future R01 on Community Level Interventions to Improve Minority Health and Reduce Health Disparities, National Institute of Health (NIH).

      Enhanced DPP-GLB for Weight Loss Nonresponders

      Winchester, Kentucky
      This study seeks to establish the efficacy of identifying weight loss nonresponders early in a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) intervention in 20 community settings (primarily churches and community centers) and providing them with individual-level, enhanced treatment through telephone contacts and access to additional resources. Additionally, potential mediators and moderators of the relationship between intervention status and weight loss response at 6 months in both nonresponders and responders will be examined and a cost-effectiveness analysis to evaluate the cost of the intervention will be conducted. This study addresses key gaps in the literature about the weight loss effects of identifying nonresponders early and characterizing individuals who need more intense personalized strategies. The investigators hypothesize that changes between baseline and 3 months will be more pronounced among the nonresponders in the intervention group compared to the nonresponders in the active control group.

      Why Other Patients Applied

      "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."

      "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."

      Obesity PatientAge: 58

      "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."

      Tirzepatide for Obesity

      Lexington, Kentucky
      This clinical trial will test whether preoperative tirzepatide treatment improves outcomes after bariatric surgery. The outcome of this study could impact therapeutic guidelines for the multimodal treatment of obesity. The major objectives are: 1. To evaluate whether pre-operative tirzepatide treatment reduces tissue and circulating inflammatory markers at the time of surgery. 2. To establish the relationship of these changes with postoperative improvements in weight loss, metabolic and inflammatory profiles, comorbidity resolution (glycemic control, blood pressure, lipid profile), and 30-day surgical complications. Researchers will compare data from patients taking tirzepatide to data from patients not taking tirzepatide before their planned bariatric surgery to see if tirzepatide reduces inflammation and improves health outcomes after bariatric surgery. Participants will: Take or not take tirzepatide, depending on what study group they are in, once a week for 3 months. Visit the endocrine clinic once a month for 3 months to be prescribed the drug and for checkups regarding side effects due to the drug. Keep a diary to document taking the drug and any side effects. Continue with their planned bariatric surgery and post-surgery follow-ups according to their healthcare provider.

      Cefazolin Dosing for Surgical Prophylaxis

      Ann Arbor, Michigan
      The goal of this clinical study is to compare the dosing of an antibiotic in overweight patients having surgery. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Are the antibiotic concentrations in blood and fat tissue in patients that are overweight sufficient to prevent the chance of infection? * Can dosing using body composition rather than body weight improve the chance of achieving good antibiotic concentrations in overweight patients? Participants will allow us to collect small amounts of blood and fat tissue during their regularly scheduled surgery. Researchers will compare differences in antibiotic concentrations based on dosing by standard of care (body weight based) versus body composition.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How much do Obesity clinical trials 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 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 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 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 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?

      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?

      Most recently, we added Metabolic Surgery for Atrial Fibrillation, Cagrilintide + CagriSema for Childhood Obesity and Pistachios for Dietary Changes in 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.
