NCT01105858
Background: \- Family and twin studies have suggested that genetic factors influence approximately 50 percent of a person's susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. Recently, some of the genes involved in the development of type 2 diabetes have been identified, in large part by genome-wide association studies. Certain risk factors for type 2 diabetes, such as obesity and insulin resistance, are highly inheritable, as are diabetic complications such as diabetes-related eye and kidney disorders. However, few genes associated or linked with diabetes risk factors or complications have been conclusively identified, and more research is needed to study specific genetic factors associated with these aspects of diabetes. Objectives: \- To identify and characterize genetic variants associated with type 2 diabetes, its risk factors, and its complications. Eligibility: \- Individuals at least 18 years of age who are not pregnant or nursing mothers at the start of the study. Design: * All participants will provide information about family history, ethnicity and ethnic background, occupation, behavioral risk factors, and other data as requested by the researchers. * In addition to a general health history, participants will provide specific information about diabetes history, with particular emphasis on date of diagnosis, symptoms, initiation of insulin therapy, complications, and current medications. * Testing procedures will be different for individuals with and without diabetes. Those without diabetes will have an oral glucose tolerance test, while those with diabetes will be examined for diabetic complications. * Other tests during the study will include the following: * Physical examination with measurements of height and weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, and other tests for individuals who have been diagnosed with diabetes * Glucose tolerance test for those who have not been classified as having diabetes * Retinal photographs * Electrocardiograms * Hepatic Ultrasound * Blood and urine tests * Depending on the results of the examination and laboratory findings, participants may be asked to return to the clinic for supplemental interviews, physical examinations, or blood tests, or to arrange referrals for medical evaluation and treatment. * Participants who have diabetes will be asked to return for yearly follow-up visits. Participants who do not have diabetes at the initial examination will be asked to return for follow-up visits every 2 years.
NCT07351045
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of enicepatide, a dual glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1)/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist (RA), at multiple doses compared with placebo for weight management in participants without Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who have obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity.
NCT07543666
A sedentary lifestyle and obesity are associated with chronic low-grade inflammation and an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aims to systematically characterize and compare the effects of three distinct exercise modalities - moderate-intensity, vigorous-intensity, and short-duration maximal exercise - each differing in duration and intensity, on systemic inflammation and immune function. The study investigates the potential of exercise as an effective anti-inflammatory intervention for the prevention of CVD.
NCT07037459
This trial will examine if maridebart cafraglutide as an adjunct to standard of care will lead to a reduction in heart failure (HF) events such as HF hospitalizations and urgent HF visits, cardiovascular (CV) deaths and improvement in HF symptoms in participants with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) who are obese. This is a phase 3, global, multicenter, 2-part trial with a double-blind period and an open-label extension (OLE). The trial is event-driven, and Part 1 will conclude when approximately 850 primary endpoint events have occurred.
NCT06066528
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.
NCT00065676
Quercetin is a compound naturally found in various foods. It may have some role in the treatment of obesity and diabetes. The purpose of this study is to investigate research volunteers with obesity or obesity with type 2 diabetes to determine whether quercetin affects the way glucose is absorbed by the body. Thirty two participants aged 19 to 65 who are considered to be medically obese or obese with type 2 diabetes will be enrolled in this study. Before the onset of treatment, they will undergo a medical history, physical exam, blood work, and urinalysis. During the study, participants will be given an oral glucose tolerance test three times; during these tests they will receive 1 or 2 grams of quercetin, or placebo. Researchers will collect blood samples and analyze the effect of the treatment on blood glucose.
NCT06972459
The main purpose of this study is to see how orforglipron, compared with placebo, helps reduce body weight in participants with obesity or with overweight and at least one other related health condition (excluding type 2 diabetes). This trial is part of the master protocol study J2A-MC-GZPO (NCT06993792). Participation in the study will last about 18 months.
NCT07244458
This study will look at how eating peanuts every day might affect participants weight, how healthy their diet is, and how they feel when eating. Investigators want to see if adding peanuts to meals for 12 weeks helps participants feel fuller, have more energy, and improve body composition. The study will include adults who have been taking GLP-1 medicines like semaglutide or tirzepatide for at least three months. Investigators also want to see if eating peanuts improves overall diet quality and health markers like tiredness and certain levels in blood.
NCT07508241

Participants will receive the study medicine for a short period, and doctors will measure how the medicine moves through the stomach and monitor safety. The goal is to better understand how this medicine works in the body and to check for any side effects. The information from this study may help researchers plan future studies of this medicine.
NCT01283113
The main aim of this study is to compare 2 different measurements of visceral fat that can be easily used in clinical practice (waist circumference versus bioelectric impedance) in relation to known risk factors of coronary artery disease in a large cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes and with a BMI range between 20-45 kg/m2
NCT07243470
This clinical trial is a 2-phase trial designed to evaluate the safety of tarlatamab in combination with a fixed dose of metronomic temozolomide in adolescents and adults with CNS tumors (stratified into two age-based cohorts), and to assess the clinical activity of this therapeutic strategy in three parallel, histology-defined cohorts (IDH-mutant glioma, other gliomas, and other CNS tumors). A pre-screening to detect DLL3 expression by IHC on archival tumor sample must be performed before the therapeutic part. Only patients with DLL3 positive tumor on IHC can be enrolled in the therapeutic part. This pre-screening must be optimally performed during the ongoing treatment line i.e. before documented progression to not delay treatment starts at time of progression. Tumor samples (surgery or biopsy specimen) will be sent to a central lab for IHC testing.

NCT01399385
Background: \- Imaging tests, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), can provide information about heart and blood vessels. The tests let doctors can see the amount of blood vessel narrowing and vessel wall thickness. This information may help diagnose and treat heart disease and other conditions that lead to heart attacks. Better MRI methods are needed to improve heart disease diagnosis, especially by avoiding the use of radiation. Researchers are testing new techniques to improve the quality of heart MRI, compared with more complex studies like catheterization or angiography. Objectives: \- To compare heart MRI techniques with other tests used to diagnose heart disease. Eligibility: \- People at least 18 years of age who either have or may have heart disease, or are healthy volunteers. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, and blood tests. * They will have an angiography to study the inside of blood vessels. This test is an x-ray study of the blood vessels. It will be done either separately or as part of a set of tests to diagnose possible heart disease. * Participants will have at least one and up to five MRI scans. The scans will involve different methods of studying the heart and blood vessels. Participants may also have a computed tomography scan to confirm the findings of an MRI scan. * No treatment will be provided as part of this protocol.
NCT06003686
The purpose of this study is to find out if receiving education regarding increased risks of cardiometabolic disease helps subjects understand these risks and how these risks participants' health.
NCT07446439
The goal of this study is to measure the effects of using Tradipitant to treat nausea and vomiting induced by GLP-1R agonist use in adults with class I or class II obesity, or adults who are overweight with at least one weight-related condition. The study is placebo-controlled with two treatment arms.
NCT07538362
This clinical trial aims to evaluate how group-based food and nutrition education interventions, grounded in the recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population, can improve participants' dietary quality and support the treatment of overweight and obesity. The study seeks to determine whether individuals with overweight and obesity receiving outpatient care who participate in collective food and nutrition education activities achieve benefits similar to those receiving individual nutritional counseling, particularly improvements in dietary intake, clinical parameters, and anthropometric measures. Participants will be divided into two groups and will be required to attend four monthly sessions, complete questionnaires before and after the sessions, and provide consent for the collection of data from their medical records. Researchers will compare the outcomes of participants attending group sessions with those receiving individual care to assess whether collective actions provide similar benefits in improving dietary quality, blood test results, and anthropometric measures.
