NCT02235870
This pivotal trial of the Obalon Balloon System is intended to generate safety and effectiveness data required to support a future marketing application. The trial has been designed to evaluate a 6-month use of the Obalon Balloon System as an adjunct to a nutrition and lifestyle behavior modification program. Weight loss will be evaluated after the 6-month course to determine if a specific predefined superiority margin can be achieved in the device group compared to a sham-control group.

One of the treatments, MH MOVE! provides the standard MOVE! weight management program plus a workbook containing education for management of depression, anxiety and PTSD symptoms to be used during 10 phone based clinician led CBT sessions. The enhanced usual care MOVE! provides the standard MOVE! weight management program plus a workbook containing education for management of depression, anxiety and PTSD symptoms but not phone calls are provided.

The purpose of this project is to reduce health disparities in obesity risk among 8-10 year old African American girls using a culturally sensitive and developmentally appropriate internet-based program with no face-to-face interaction. This study will conduct an outcome evaluation to test short and longer term effects on obesity risk.
NCT02635698

NCT02963922
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of this trial is to investigate effect and safety of liraglutide 3.0 mg in subjects with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with basal insulin.
NCT00785408
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose-ranging study to examine the safety, tolerability, and effect on body weight of subcutaneous AC2307 in obese or overweight subjects.
NCT00781937
This trial is conducted in North America. The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the potential of liraglutide to maintain long term weight loss in obese non-diabetic subjects, as well as in overweight subjects who have medical problems such as hypertension (high blood pressure) or dyslipidaemia (an abnormal amount of lipids in the blood). Trial has following trial periods: A 12-week run-in period (from week -12 to week 0) followed by a 56-week main trial period (weeks 0-56) and a 12-week follow-up period (weeks 56-68).
NCT00869583
Obesity is a serious health problem among Mexican American women. Obesity combined with a lack of physical activity can increase the risk for several diseases, including heart disease. This study will evaluate a program that aims to increase physical activity levels among women of Mexican origin in Columbia, South Carolina and the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
NCT02927665
The ReShape Post Approval Study is a prospective multicenter study of the ReShape(TM) Integrated Dual Balloon System in Obese Subjects.
NCT00478322
Purpose: A 28-day US study in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to assess the safety and tolerability as well as the effects of treatment with an investigational drug.
NCT02918279
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of this trial is to investigate the effect of liraglutide for weight management in pubertal adolescent subjects with obesity.
NCT01410097
Obesity is associated with physical disability through both direct pathways (e.g., lower extremity pain, insufficient muscle strength) and indirect pathways (obesity-related comorbidities and inflammation). Furthermore, diabetes, a major obesity-related health condition, is associated with increased risk of disability and accelerated declines in physical and cognitive function. The investigators preliminary data suggest that intentional weight loss improves physical function, and there is strong circumstantial evidence that it would also benefit cognitive function. To evaluate the role of intentional weight loss on physical and cognitive function, the investigators propose an ancillary study to the on-going Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) trial. Look AHEAD is a multi-center, randomized clinical trial to examine the effects of a 4-year lifestyle intervention designed to achieve and maintain weight loss through decreased caloric intake and exercise in overweight or obese men and women aged 45-74 years with type 2 diabetes. The investigators propose to add validated and well-established measures of physical and cognitive performance to the year 8 follow-up visit - during the trial's weight maintenance phase - in \~1000 participants at 4 of the 16 Look AHEAD field sites (Colorado, Memphis, Pennington and Pittsburgh). The specific aims of this ancillary study are: 1) To determine the long-term effects of a lifestyle intervention designed to achieve and maintain weight loss on physical function; and 2) To determine the long-term effects of a lifestyle intervention designed to achieve and maintain weight loss on cognitive function. In addition, the investigators hypothesize that in the intervention group, larger initial weight loss, better weight loss maintenance, and higher physical activity will be associated with better physical and cognitive function. The investigators also hypothesize that in the control group weight loss will be associated with worse physical and cognitive function than in those who are weight stable or who have gained weight. The number of obese older adults is rising rapidly and there are few data to guide an evidence-based clinical response to their management. The results of this study will provide the first direct evidence of the role of long-term intentional weight loss on the maintenance of physical and cognitive function in older obese adults with diabetes. Since this study is being done as an ancillary study to an on-going trial it can be done in a timely and cost-efficient manner.
NCT02279420
This is a multicenter, un-blinded, open label, pivotal supplemental study to G130163 intended to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treating previous sham subjects in the Essential pivotal trial (IDE#G130163) with the active treatment (the placement of g-Cath EZ suture anchors along with diet and exercise). Compliant sham subjects (those who attended all primary IDE follow-up visits AND who continue to meet eligibility criteria as described in this protocol) will be offered this active treatment after their 12 month unblinding visit in the Essential pivotal trial.

NCT02696148
This trial is conducted in the United States of America. The aim of this trial is to investigate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) and pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) of liraglutide in obese children aged 7 to 11 years
NCT01725126
This study is the first administration of GSK2890457 in humans. The study will be conducted in 3 parts: - Part A (conducted at a single investigative site) will determine the safety and tolerability of GSK2890457 alone in healthy subjects during six weeks of dosing, as well as evaluating the potential for a pharmacokinetic interaction with metformin. Part A consists of Screening, Treatment (6 weeks) and Follow-up periods. - Part B (conducted at multiple sites) will determine safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics (PD) in subjects with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) when co-dosed for six weeks with liraglutide (Victoza). Part B consists of Screening, Run-in (1 week), Stabilization (12 weeks), Treatment (6 weeks) and Follow-up periods. - Part C (conducted at multiple sites) will determine safety, tolerability, and PD in subjects with T2D when co-dosed for 6 weeks with metformin. Part C consists of Screening, Run-in (1 week), Stabilization (12 weeks), Treatment (6 weeks) and Follow-up periods.
