Cincinnati, Ohio
This trial studies the effects of a medication combination (naltrexone and bupropion) on heart health. It targets patients to see if this treatment increases the risk of major heart problems. The study also includes advice on diet and exercise. Naltrexone and bupropion have been used in combination for weight loss, but they have been associated with various adverse effects, including neuropsychiatric disorders and cardiovascular risks.

Naltrexone/Bupropion for Obesity
New York, New York
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand if genetic variations are associated with the amount of weight loss with diet and while taking an FDA-approved medication for weight loss. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:
* In Aim One, the investigators propose to rigorously test the hypothesis that presence of the Taq1A A1+ polymorphism is associated with greater weight loss with NB compared with the A1- genotype.
* In Aim Two, the investigators will explore other genetic polymorphisms that might influence the efficacy of NB such as the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene which modulates DRD2 signaling, as carriers of risk alleles in both the FTO and ANKK1 gene demonstrate altered responses to reward-learning tasks associated with negative outcomes.
Participants will be in the study for 40 weeks, which consists of two phases:
1. From baseline to week 12, participants will receive individual nutritional counseling on a calorie restricted diet. This phase includes in-person visits, blood tests, an EKG, vital signs, questionnaires, body weight, and nutritional visits.
2. From week 12 to week 40, participants will continue to receive dietary counseling and will receive treatment with naltrexone/bupropion for 28 weeks. This phase includes in-person and phone visits, blood tests, vital signs, questionnaires, body weight, and nutritional visits.

Contrave for Obesity
Ottawa, Ontario
Obesity is a common chronic disease linked with increased risk for other illnesses and earlier death. Our team and others have shown that many bodily and psychological changes occur when individuals are on calorie-restricted diets. These changes might undermine dietary adherence and help to explain the relatively poor long-term efficacy of diets. These include increased appetite, increased food 'value' and 'wanting' that leads to overconsumption. Other factors include more sensitive sensory cues (e.g., smelling), higher food liking and craving, and a drop in resting energy expenditure (REE). REE has been shown to predict weight regain.
The standard care for obesity may include the use of the weight-loss drug CONTRAVE®. The Federal Drug Agency (FDA) and Health Canada have approved this drug for weight management and obesity treatment.
Although CONTRAVE® was designed to reduce appetite, food-related impulsivity and cravings, its mechanisms of action are unclear. In other words, the effects of CONTRAVE® on REE, executive function, and brain changes remain unknown in humans. A better understanding of how this drug works on the brain and body could lead to improvements in obesity management in the future.
As such, the goal of this research is to study the effects of 4 weeks of CONTRAVE® (+ diet program) vs. control (placebo pill + diet program) on mood, body composition changes, biological/metabolic measures, and brain measures.
Adults aged 18-64 with obesity will be randomized to one of two groups: diet + CONTRAVE® (CONTRAVE®, 20 participants) or diet + Placebo (Placebo, 20 participants). Both groups will be assigned the same study procedures for the entire study duration. The only difference is that Group 1 will receive CONTRAVE® while Group 2 will receive a placebo (non-medical) pill.
The study design and intervention is as follows:
Participants who meet all the telephone screening criteria will be invited to the Clinical EEG \& Neuroimaging Laboratory at The Royal's IMHR for an in-person screening and test-dose session. Participants who are cleared by the study physician, Dr. Pierre Blier, during the in-person screening will be enrolled in the 4-weeks trial.
After the in-person screening visit, participants will attend two baseline testing visits (before starting the medication + diet program). The first will occur at the Behavioural and Metabolic Research Unit at the University of Ottawa. During this in-person visit, measures of body composition, resting energy expenditure, appetite, food craving, impulsivity, eating behaviours, taste and odour sensitivity, energy intake, and food preference will be collected.
The second baseline visit (within a week of the first one) will occur at The Royal/IMHR. During this visit, participants will be asked to complete questionnaires. They will undergo an EEG recording while resting and performing computer tasks. They will also get a brain imaging scan, during which they are asked to rest and complete a computer task.
Both testing sessions (University of Ottawa and Royal Ottawa testing sessions) will be repeated after four weeks of treatment. The section below provides further description and timing of these visits.
As part of the treatment, you will receive an individualized dietary intervention with appropriate energy restriction from a registered dietitian at Dr. Judy Shiau's LEAF weight management clinic (called the 4-week BUDS program). The program involves weekly touch points with a registered dietitian and meal planning/coaching. The diet intervention will commence the same week as the start of the placebo/CONTRAVE®.
During the 4-week intervention, participants will be asked to complete online questionnaires at various times.

This trial will test different treatments for people who have trouble controlling their eating and weight after weight-loss surgery. The treatments include behavior therapy to change eating habits and a combination of two medications to reduce cravings. The goal is to find out which approach works best for these patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do 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 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 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 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 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 clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Weight Management Treatments for Obesity, Contrave for Obesity and Naltrexone + Bupropion for Obesity to the Power online platform.Popular Searches
