NCT ID NCT07465341
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a program called MiWeigh that helps people with obesity and related conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure lose weight. Participants get a personalized plan from a doctor, access to a website, and weekly check-ins. The goal is to see if this approach leads to more weight loss than just giving people information.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- behavioral intervention: personalized weight-loss program with doctor visits and weekly check-ins
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer a practical, scalable way for healthcare systems to help people with obesity lose weight and manage related health issues.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so results depend on participant motivation. It is still recruiting and outcomes are measured at 12 months, so long-term effects are unknown.
