Obesity and overweight are rising in Chinese populations, where metabolic risks begin at lower BMI thresholds than in Western cohorts. Many individuals with overweight or mild-to-moderate obesity are ineligible or unwilling to undergo bariatric surgery due to invasiveness and risk. Endoscopic bariatric and metabolic therapies offer minimally invasive alternatives but vary in complexity, cost, and safety profiles. Investigators developed a sutureless endoscopic procedure, Endoscopic Radial Compression Gastroplasty (ERCG), which reduces gastric volume by apposing gastric walls using a clip-and-loop system. This randomized controlled trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of ERCG versus an optimized lifestyle intervention in Asian adults with BMI 24.0-37.4 kg/m² who have not succeeded with conservative measures. Preliminary studies suggest ERCG can achieve approximately 12% total body weight loss (TBWL) at 3 months. The primary endpoint is percent TBWL at 3 months; secondary outcomes include changes in BMI, metabolic parameters, quality of life, and adverse events. Results are expected to inform the role of ERCG as a safe, effective, and scalable option between conservative care and bariatric surgery.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oral ecnoglutide tablets in Chinese participants with overweight or obesity
NCT07276308
This study aims to explore how stress-related hormones and psychological traits influence people's feelings and perceptions during a short and intense form of exercise called low-volume high-intensity interval exercise (Lv-HIIE). Adults with overweight or obesity participated in a supervised 10-week cycling program consisting of repeated one-minute high-intensity efforts separated by short recovery periods. The research examines how psychophysiological stress markers (such as cortisol and ACTH), cognitive traits (such as goal orientation and hardiness), and perceptual responses (such as exertion, mood, and enjoyment) change over time. Findings from this study may help develop exercise programs that are more enjoyable, sustainable, and personalized for individuals with higher body-mass categories.
