Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This trial tests whether elénzia CONTROL®, a dietary supplement, can support weight management in adults who have either never used GLP-1 weight-loss medications or recently stopped them. Participants take two capsules daily for 16 weeks, and researchers compare weight changes against a placebo. The study also tracks appetite, cravings, mood, energy, sleep, and waist circumference. The goal is to see if the supplement can reduce weight in GLP-1-naïve adults or prevent regain in those who recently discontinued GLP-1 therapy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
elénzia CONTROL®, a multi-ingredient dietary supplement containing lemon flavonoids, bitter melon extract, silybin-phosphatidylcholine complex, choline, chromium, zinc, iodine, and selenium
What this could lead to
If it works, this supplement could offer a non-prescription option to help people lose weight or keep it off after stopping GLP-1 medications.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and uses self-reported weight measurements, which may reduce reliability. The supplement may also have no greater effect than placebo, and its ingredients have limited evidence for weight management.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 25 to 65 years inclusive at the time of consent. * Participants must fall into one of the following cohorts: * GLP-1-naïve cohort: individuals who have never used GLP-1 receptor agonist medications. * Post-GLP-1 cohort: individuals who have discontinued GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy, with the last injection taken prior to enrolment. * Body mass index (BMI), calculated using self-reported height and weight at screening: * GLP-1-naïve cohort: BMI ≥27 kg/m² and \<40 kg/m². * Post-GLP-1 cohort: BMI \<40 kg/m², with no lower BMI limit. * Participants entering the post-GLP-1 cohort must have been on a stable GLP-1 receptor agonist dose for at least 6 months and achieved at least 10% body-weight reduction prior to discontinuation. * Participants must be capable of providing informed consent independently and demonstrate understanding of the study requirements. * Participants must be willing and able to complete study procedures remotely through a mobile application, provide self-measured weight and waist circumference data, and take the allocated study capsules daily as instructed. * Participants must have access to a compatible smartphone, reliable internet access, and their own home weighing scale. Additional participant characteristics: A prior diagnosis of prediabetes, insulin resistance, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may be self-reported at screening for study population characterisation and subgroup analyses. These conditions are not required for eligibility and do not determine inclusion in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Previous or current use of elénzia CONTROL®. * Current smoking or use of nicotine-containing products. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding. * Known hypersensitivity or allergy to any component of elénzia CONTROL® or the placebo, including citrus flavonoids, milk thistle extract, bitter melon extract, iodine, zinc, selenium or chromium. * Current use of insulin, sulfonylureas (e.g. gliclazide, glimepiride), warfarin, lithium, amiodarone, high-dose iodine supplements. * Current use of herbal or other dietary supplements specifically intended for weight loss, appetite control, fat burning, or blood glucose regulation. * Current use of anorexigenic medications, including sibutramine, bupropion for weight-loss indication, liraglutide, topiramate, orlistat, fluoxetine when used for appetite suppression, cannabinoids, medroxyprogesterone, megestrol, or systemic corticosteroids used as appetite stimulants. * Diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus. * History of significant endocrine disorders, including Cushing's disease or Addison's disease. * Chronic illnesses that may significantly affect food intake, weight regulation or metabolic status, including active malignancy, advanced liver disease, renal failure or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). * Current participation in another interventional clinical trial, or participation in an interventional study within the previous 30 days.
