Semaglutide for teens after weight-loss surgery
This study looks at how teenagers and young adults respond to weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) and whether adding a medication called semaglutide can help improve weight loss. It has two parts: first observing how surgery affects you, then testing if semaglutide helps those who didn't lose enough weight after surgery.

Study of kidney blood flow and insulin resistance in youth
This study looks at how well insulin is working and how the kidneys use energy by measuring kidney blood flow. It compares obese young people with and without type 2 diabetes to lean controls, using a PET scan (a special imaging test).

Amino acids to reduce liver fat in teens with NAFLD

What taking part in a adolescent obesity study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
