The goal of this clinical trial is to identify the specific characteristics (phenotypes) that may be useful to help select the right medication for weight loss, and to study the effect of individualized guided medication in patients with bipolar disorder ages 18-65. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can the investigators compare the distribution of obesity characteristics (hungry brain, hungry gut, emotional hunger) between bipolar patients and non-bipolar participants (comparing from IRB #24-002375)? * Can the investigators evaluate the feasibility of anti-obesity medication (AOM) in patients with bipolar disorder? Participation will last for about 20 weeks and includes 8 in-person study visits, up to 11 phone call visits, and 13 virtual group therapy sessions. The first visit lasts about 2 hours and includes going over the informed consent form, a diagnostic interview to confirm diagnosis, gathering vital signs, mood questionnaires, an ECG, a blood draw, and urine drug and pregnancy tests (if applicable). The second visit lasts about 6-7 hours and involves multiple procedures and completing questionnaires to determine which study drug would allow participants to lose weight most effectively. At the third visit, participants will be assigned to take one of three FDA approved medications for weight loss: Semaglutide (Wegovy®), Naltrexone/Bupropion (Contrave®), or Phentermine/Topiramate (Qsymia®). It is possible that participants could be assigned to a group that receives no study medication. All participants will be enrolled in a 12-week virtual group therapy program targeted for weight loss. On this third visit the investigators will also gather vital signs, and participants will give a sample of blood. After the third visit, participants will come in for study visits every 4 weeks for 20 weeks (5 visits) to assess medication adherence, vitals, and answer questions about mood and eating (participants will also give a sample of blood at the 8-week and 20-week visits). For participants assigned to a study medication, the study team will call every week for the first 2 months (excluding in-person visit weeks) to assess mood and safety. After the first 2 months, the study team will call the participant every two weeks in between in-person visits. Participants will be compensated for time spent in this study. Participants assigned to a study medication will also be given the option to participate in the open-label phase of the study, which involves 3 follow-up visits (weeks 24, 36, and 48) over 7 months after the 20-week trial. During this phase, participants can continue to take the medication through their clinical care provider.
NCT04513587
The aim of this study is find out how CBT-based weight loss program affects on eating behavior, weight loss, mood symptoms and risk for coronary heart diseases and type 2 diabetes and applicability of the program to obesity treatment among patients with comorbid depression. Our hypothesis is that the CBT-based intervention improves long-term weight management results and supports positively the change in eating behavior and the risk for CHD on type 2 DM. The study is randomized controlled one-year intervention study with 1 year follow-up. Study subjects are adult obese (BMI\>35) subjects with comorbid depression. Number of randomized study subjects will be 80, 40 in intervention group, 40 in control group. Intervention group will proceed through a 52-week CBT-based weight loss group intervention. The aim of the intervention is to modify eating behavior and lifestyle factors affecting weight and weight maintenance. There will be 22 group counselling of 90 minutes divided in five modules and also three individual person-centered counselling visit, during which participants had an opportunity to discuss their personal concerns about diet and weight loss plan. Control group will receive the usual care of obesity in Kuopio University hospital. (4-8 individual 45-minute visit conducted by dieticians) Study visits are at baseline and one and 2 years after baseline. For example eating behavior, health behavior, motivation and depression are studied with questionnaires. Weight, waist circumference, height and blood pressure are measured. Laboratory tests (lipid, glucose etc) are taken.

Despite steady increases in obesity prevalence, the more than 12 million obese U.S. adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and severe obesity encounter a number of barriers to adopting effective surgical and pharmaceutical treatments, including: (a) both patients and primary care clinicians frequently underestimate the effectiveness and potential benefits of obesity treatments; and (b) both patients and clinicians typically lack access to evidence-based estimates of the patient-specific potential benefits and risks of appropriate obesity treatment options. This project addresses these important obstacles to evidence-based obesity care by providing accurate, patient-specific estimates of benefits and risks of various obesity treatment options to inform shared decision making about obesity treatment. In this project the study team will implement a scalable, web-based point-of-care decision-support intervention in primary care that provides patient-specific estimates of obesity treatment benefits and risks in a randomized trial in 40 primary care clinics with 15,810 eligible patients, and assess intervention impact on (i) appropriate active management of obesity in eligible patients, (ii) weight trajectories, and (iii) patient and clinician satisfaction with the decision support intervention.

The goal of this study is to determine the initial efficacy of once daily oral cannabis for weight loss in obese individuals.
NCT05799846
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare weight change and other related outcomes associated with three different behavioral weight loss interventions (STANDARD Behavioral, PREVENT, and PROMOTE) in adults with obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Which of the three Internet-delivered weight loss programs results in the greatest weight loss? * How do key weight-related behaviors (e.g., adherence, diet, physical activity) differ across the arms? * What individual characteristics predict success in each arm? * What are the underlying mechanisms of each approach? * Are there any potential adverse outcomes associated with any of the conditions (e.g., depression, weight stigmatization, increased body image concerns). Participants will: * signed informed consent * complete a baseline assessment * be randomized to 12 months of either Standard iBWL, PREVENT or PROMOTE * complete a training workshop to learn arm-specific cognitive strategies * complete a 12-month Internet-delivered weight loss program, requiring self-monitoring of intake and exercise and viewing of 12 weekly lessons followed by 9 monthly lessons * complete an assessment at 3 months (during treatment) * complete a refresher workshop on arm-specific cognitive strategies at 3 months * complete an assessment at 6 months (during treatment), 12 months (at the conclusion of treatment), and 18 months (6 months after treatment

Obesity is a serious health problem which increases the likelihood of developing other life-changing medical conditions. Despite increasing knowledge about the neural and metabolic basis of obesity, the development of effective anti-obesity treatment strategies has been a challenge. Evidence shows an association between cannabis consumption and body weight. However, to date, no human trials have assessed the potential of cannabis-like compounds to reduce body weight in individuals who are obese. This pilot trial aims to determine the safety and feasibility of administering nabilone (a cannabinoid drug similar to the active component of cannabis) to patients who are obese. Our secondary aims are to determine if nabilone is effective in reducing weight in this population, and to probe potential mechanisms of the weight-loss-promoting effects of nabilone, such as neural reactivity to food stimuli, changes in gut bacteria, and changes in metabolic biomarkers.

A Phase IIb Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of AZD6234 compared with placebo, given once a week as subcutaneous injection for 36 weeks, in male and female participants of at least 18 years of age who are living with obesity (body mass index \[BMI\] ≥ 30 kg/m2), or overweight (BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2) and at least one weight-related comorbidity
NCT07455630
Obesity is a major public health problem worldwide and an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In individuals with obesity or overweight, systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction contribute to myocardial hypertrophy, ventricular remodeling, and alterations in cardiac morphology and function. Weight loss has been shown to improve metabolic and hemodynamic parameters; however, evidence regarding structural and functional cardiac reversibility remains limited. This prospective single-center cohort study aims to evaluate changes in cardiac morphology and function (assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography), as well as changes in inflammatory and cardiac biomarkers, in patients with obesity or overweight and cardiovascular risk factors who achieve at least a 10% reduction in body weight through pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions.
NCT04667377
This study is open to adults, aged 18 to 75 years, with overweight or obesity. People with body mass index (BMI) of 27 or higher to join the study. People who have diabetes cannot participate. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 456906 helps people lose weight. Participants are put into 5 groups by chance. 4 groups get different doses of BI 456906. The fifth group gets placebo. Participants get BI 456906 or placebo as injections under the skin once a week. Placebo injections look like BI 456906 injections but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for about a year. During this time, there are about 20 in-person visits to the study site. At the study site visits, doctors measure participants' body weight. Results are compared between the BI 456906 groups and the placebo group. The doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.
NCT05713799
Background: Obesity and related illnesses cause at least 2.8 million deaths each year worldwide. Few treatments exist for obesity that are safe and widely available. A study drug (mirabegron \[MG\]) combined with a supplement (alpha-lipoic acid \[ALA\]) may help. Objective: To learn how MG and ALA can help the body process food. Eligibility: People aged 18 to 65 years with a body mass index between 30 and 45 kg/m2. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests and a test of their heart function. They will speak with a dietician. The study has two phases. Each phase begins with a 2-day stay in the clinic; then the participant will take the study drugs at home for about 4 weeks, followed by another 2-day stay in the clinic. They will also have outpatient visits about 2 weeks after each clinic stay. During the clinic stays, participants will undergo many tests: They will have a plastic tube (catheter) inserted into a vein in each arm. These will be used to draw blood and to infuse glucose (sugar) and insulin. They will have imaging scans. They will have a clear hard plastic shield placed over their head to measure oxygen and carbon dioxide as they breathe. Participants will take the study drugs at home. Both MG and ALA are taken by mouth with water. During one phase, participants will take MG plus a placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but doesn t contain medicine....
