GLP-1 Medicine After Weight-Loss Surgery in Chinese Patients

Study of SHR-2906 in healthy people and those with obesity
This trial tests a new injection called SHR-2906, first in healthy people to check safety, then in people with obesity to see how well it works. It may help with weight management.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–55 - NCT07611240Recruiting
Comparing two anesthesia types for spine surgery in overweight patients
This study compares two common anesthesia medicines—sevoflurane (inhaled gas) and propofol (IV liquid)—to see which works better for people with obesity having lower-back spine surgery. The goal is to understand which anesthetic is safer and more effective for this group.
ErzurumAges 18–65 - NCT07618741Recruiting
Improving AF Ablation Outcomes in Patients with Obesity
This study tests whether special care strategies can help obese patients have better results after a catheter ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm problem). Catheter ablation uses heat or cold to fix the irregular heartbeats.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07279194RecruitingPhase 3
Study of HDM1005 for weight loss in Chinese adults without diabetes
This trial tests a new medication, HDM1005, to help people with obesity or overweight who do not have diabetes lose weight. It is for Chinese adults who have a high body mass index (BMI) or a BMI above 24 with weight-related health problems like high blood pressure or fatty liver.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT03756961Recruiting
Opioid-free care plan for people having weight-loss surgery
This trial studies whether an opioid-free or opioid-sparing care pathway can improve comfort and outcomes for adults undergoing laparoscopic weight-loss surgery. It may help people avoid side effects from opioid pain medicines while still managing pain safely.
Lindesberg, Region ÖrebroAges 18 years+ - NCT06073704Recruiting
Light therapy for gum disease in people with obesity
This study tests whether adding a special light-activated cleaning (antimicrobial photodynamic therapy) to standard gum disease treatment can help people with obesity who have gum disease. It aims to see if this extra step improves gum health more than standard treatment alone.
Bauru, São PauloAges 18–70 - NCT06934642RecruitingEarly Phase 1
A study of tirzepatide for fatty liver disease in people with obesity
This trial tests if tirzepatide, a diabetes and weight loss medication, can help improve fatty liver disease in people who are overweight or have obesity. It may offer a new treatment option for managing liver health.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 18–75 - NCT06187896Recruiting
Remimazolam to prevent low oxygen during hysteroscopy in overweight women
This trial tests whether a sedation drug called remimazolam can reduce the risk of severe low oxygen levels during a hysteroscopy for overweight or obese women undergoing fertility treatment. If you qualify, you may receive a gentler sedation option that could be safer for you.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–50 - NCT06585306Recruiting
High-flow oxygen for obese patients during sedative gastroscopy
This trial tests whether high-flow nasal oxygen can help obese patients breathe better during a sedated stomach exam (gastroscopy). It aims to make the procedure safer and more comfortable.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07158008Recruiting
Weight loss surgery for people with obesity and heartburn
This study compares two weight-loss surgeries for people who have both obesity and severe heartburn or GERD. One surgery combines part of the stomach removal with an anti-reflux wrap, while the other reroutes the stomach to help with weight loss and reflux.

Oleic acid's effect on cholesterol metabolism in women with obesity

Testing a methyl-donor supplement to study lupus metabolism
This study looks at whether a “methyl-donor” nutrient supplement changes metabolism (methylation) in people with lupus who are also in the childbearing age range and have low-to-moderate disease activity. It may help researchers understand why lupus acts differently in some people and how diet-related pathways could affect symptoms.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for obese patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 214 recruiting obese patients studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a obese patients trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a obese patients trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
