Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Who can participate in this clinical research program?

"Applicants hoping to be accepted into this trial must have a diagnosis of obesity and fall within the 30-50 age range. A total of 72 patients are sought for enrolment."

Answered by AI

Is this clinical experiment still recruiting research participants?

"Affirmative. As indicated on clinicaltrials.gov, this trial is still recruiting patients to participate. It was initially posted in October 2019 and most recently updated July 25th 2022; the study requires 72 participants from a single research centre."

Answered by AI

Does the research project accept participants above 25 years of age?

"This trial is open to patients aged 30-50. For those outside this age range, there are 209 trials for individuals below 18 and 689 studies specifically targeting seniors over 65 years of age."

Answered by AI

What beneficial results are expected from this clinical examination?

"The primary measure of efficacy for this trial, evaluated over a Baseline and 12 week time frame, is an alteration in muscle mass. Additionally, changes to the blood lipid profile (total cholesterol levels, LDL-cholesterol levels, HDL-cholesterol levels and triglyceride values), systolic/diastolic blood pressure readings, as well as resting energy expenditure will also be measured."

Answered by AI

How many individuals are currently participating in this experiment?

"Affirmative. According to clinicaltrials.gov, this medical experiment is actively accepting participants since the posting of its announcement on October 17th 2019 and last edit made on July 25th 2022. 72 volunteers are required for participation in a single site."
