Obesity due to CEP19 deficiency

This study looks at how the size of the tube (bougie) used during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy affects outcomes like weight loss and complications. About 100 adults with obesity will be randomly assigned to receive a small (36-Fr) or extra-large (over 40-Fr) bougie. The goal i…

This study tests a weekly injection called RM-718 in healthy people with obesity and in patients with obesity caused by problems in the MC4R pathway, including hypothalamic obesity and Prader-Willi syndrome. The main goal is to check the drug's safety and how the body processes i…

This study tests tirzepatide, a weight loss medication, in 36 young adults aged 18-26 with obesity from Prader-Willi syndrome, hypothalamic obesity, or general causes. Participants take the drug for 48 weeks to see how much weight they lose and how their health changes. The goal …

This study tests whether taking daily protein supplements and doing resistance exercises (like lifting weights) can prevent too much muscle loss after bariatric surgery. About 400 patients will be randomly assigned to either standard care or standard care plus the protein and exe…

This study tests whether a daily powder containing fiber and plant compounds (inulin, resveratrol, quercetin) can reduce brain inflammation in 120 overweight women aged 35-60 who are going through menopause. Participants take the supplement or a placebo for 6 months, and research…

This study tests whether a wrist-worn device called Reletex Reliefband can reduce nausea and vomiting after bariatric sleeve gastrectomy. The device uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate nerves and suppress nausea. Researchers will compare it to a sham device in 100 adults to …

This study tests if a mild electrical patch placed on the skin (called TENS) can prevent breathing problems after weight-loss surgery in people with severe obesity. About 70 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either TENS or a fake device. The main goal is to see if…

This study tests whether a synbiotic supplement (a mix of probiotics and prebiotics) can improve gut health and reduce mild stomach discomfort in adults aged 50-70 who are overweight. Participants take the supplement or a placebo daily for 8 weeks, and researchers measure changes…

This study looks at whether a special diet workshop held 15 days after bariatric surgery can help patients increase their protein intake. About 88 adults who are scheduled for weight-loss surgery will take part. The goal is to improve protein levels and overall recovery over the …

This study at the National Institutes of Health is looking at 1,000 adults with known or suspected hormone gland (endocrine) disorders. The goal is to better understand these conditions and help train doctors. Participants may receive tests, treatments, or surgery as part of thei…

This study enrolls up to 15,000 children with known or suspected endocrine or metabolic disorders, along with their family members. Researchers will collect medical records, blood, saliva, and other samples to identify genetic changes linked to these conditions. The goal is to be…

This study enrolls adults with known or suspected endocrine (hormone gland) disorders, such as diabetes or thyroid disease, to help researchers learn more about these conditions. Participants will undergo medical exams, blood and imaging tests, and possibly genetic testing. The m…

This study is testing a tool called B-COMPASS that uses a 22-question survey to predict whether people will follow their prescribed treatments. Researchers will enroll 3100 adults with cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, nerve, cancer, or rare diseases across Europe. The goal is t…

This study looks at how different snacks (walnuts or pretzels) change brain activity related to food cravings and fullness during a 12-week weight-loss diet. Researchers will use brain scans to measure responses to food pictures and track changes in body fat and appetite. The goa…

This study is tracking 2000 adults who are having weight-loss (bariatric) surgery to learn what factors influence their pain and daily functioning afterward. Researchers will use patient questionnaires to measure pain, side effects, and long-term recovery. The goal is to better u…

This study creates a global database to collect information from people with genetic obesity. Researchers aim to learn how the condition progresses, what complications arise, and how different genetic types respond to standard treatments. Up to 5,000 participants will share data …
