NCT ID NCT06053645
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a cardiometabolic clinic can help obese adults with heart disease lose weight and improve health. Sixty participants will receive care from the clinic and be followed for 12 months. Researchers will measure weight loss, body mass index, and fat distribution, along with blood pressure and diet quality.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cardiometabolic clinic (multidisciplinary care program)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this clinic model could become a standard way to help people with both obesity and heart disease lose weight and lower their heart risks.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 60 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. Weight loss and health improvements may be modest or not sustained.
