Can patients power their own obesity research?
NCT ID NCT07759544
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational pilot study explores whether adults with obesity in England, France, and Germany can participate in research entirely from home. Participants will authorize access to their medical records and complete an online questionnaire about their health, quality of life, and experiences like 'food noise.' The goal is to see if this remote, participant-driven method can efficiently gather accurate and complete data for future obesity research. There is no treatment involved—just data collection.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could make it easier and faster to gather real-world health data from people with obesity, potentially improving future research and care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply broadly. The success depends on participants' willingness to share medical records and on how well those records match self-reported information.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Participants will be recruited remotely in England, France and Germany by IQVIA Global Perspectives through patient advocacy groups, research recruitment services (OneKey), and existing patient panels (IQVIA Ltd's Global Perspectives Patient Community). Potential participants will receive an email containing a plain-language description of the study and a link to a screening platform. After providing a brief study-specific consent, they will complete a short pre-screening questionnaire. Those who appear eligible and wish to continue will receive an invitation to the IQVIA Health Research Space (HRS) platform. There, participants will complete the electronic informed consent process, provide authorization for medical record access (where applicable), and undergo eligibility assessment based on the study inclusion and exclusion criteria. Only participants who meet all eligibility requirements and provide informed consent will be enrolled in the study.
