Trevogrumab + Garetosmab + Semaglutide for Obesity

Dallas, Texas
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)

Tirzepatide for Muscle Health

San Antonio, Texas
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represent major public health concerns in the aging community. Tirzepatide, a novel dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist recently approved for the treatment of T2DM and obesity has been shown to be effective at reducing weight, improving markers of T2DM control, and improving cardiovascular health. Utilization of tirzepatide among older adults has been on the rise since FDA approval was issued, however the effects of tirzepatide use on functional outcomes in older adults with obesity are not well established. Recent studies show that weight loss caused by tirzepatide may be driven by substantial loss of lean muscle mass, which may contribute to weakness and frailty, particularly among older adults. The proposed pilot study aims to evaluate how treatment with tirzepatide for 6 months affects muscle mass and function among older adults, and if changes in muscle mass are linked to changes in functional status over the same time period.

Diet and Exercise for Post-COVID Syndrome

San Antonio, Texas
The research in this VA Merit will examine the effects of obesity and Post-COVID Conditions (PCC) on physical functioning, health-related quality of life, and adipose tissue inflammatory and cellular senescence profiles in older Veterans. Further, it will evaluate whether a weight loss intervention, including dietary modification and exercise, in obese Veterans with and without PCC will reduce systemic and adipose tissue inflammation and senescence and promote PCC recovery.

Lifestyle Program for Type 2 Diabetes

Fayetteville, Arkansas
Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) are defined as the descendants of the original peoples of Polynesia (e.g., Hawai'i, Sāmoa, and Tonga), Melanesia (e.g., Fiji), and Micronesia (e.g., Guam, Chuuk, and Marshall Islands). Their history with the U.S. parallels that of American Indians and Alaska Natives. Before Western contact, NHPIs had thriving societies with rich cultural traditions. After contact, NHPI communities were decimated to near extinction by infectious diseases, exploited for their cultural and natural resources, displaced from their ancestral lands, forced to assimilate to Western ways, and marginalized through legislative acts and compulsory assimilation policies (i.e., banning native language). The consequences have been high rates of cardiometabolic medical conditions, such as obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. These medical conditions are, in part, a result of cultural disruptions and displacement that altered the traditional practices of NHPI and led to poor social determinants of health (SDOH). The basic premise of our project is that Community Health Workers (CHWs) can accelerate health equity for NHPI communities by disseminating and implementing culturally responsive, evidence-based interventions to prevent cardiometabolic medical conditions and improve their SDOH. The purpose of this project is to test the potential efficacy of the PILI Lifestyle Program (PLP) with integrated social determinants of health (SDOH) components and have it delivered by NHPI Community Health Workers (CHWs) to NHPIs with cardiometabolic-related conditions in a two-arm pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) using a waitlist control. The investigators will evaluate the efficacy of the PLP+SDOH in improving the primary outcomes of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight in 180 adult NHPIs with pre-diabetes/type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and/or overweight/obesity.

Why Other Patients Applied

"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."

"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 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 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."
