Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06143956RecruitingPhase 2
Weight loss treatments for adults with obesity
This clinical trial tests new treatments for adults who are overweight or have obesity. The goal is to help people lose weight and improve their health.
Austin, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT05918575Recruiting
Breathing support after a breathing tube in very obese adults
This trial tests whether giving noninvasive breathing support (using a mask or similar device, without a new breathing tube) right after removing a breathing tube works better for severely obese adults. It mainly looks at people at higher risk of needing help breathing again after extubation.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05747976Recruiting
Study for children with very high body size measurements
This study is building a program database for children who have unusually high body size measurements for their age. By collecting genetic and health information, researchers hope to better understand causes of obesity and guide care.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05028309Recruiting
Study how obesity affects breathing and exercise in older adults
This study compares how body weight (higher or lower body fat) affects lung function, breathing during exercise, and exercise capacity in adults ages 65–75. You may be asked to do lung and exercise testing, but only if you meet health and activity restrictions.
Dallas, TexasAges 65–75 - NCT04838678RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a new blood-pressure approach in obesity-related hypertension
This early-stage study tests a new way to help control high blood pressure that is linked to obesity. It may help people whose blood pressure is high based on a 24-hour blood pressure monitor.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–55 - NCT04003038Recruiting
Negative pressure wound dressings after breast reconstruction in obesity
This trial tests whether a special “suction” dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps wounds heal better after breast reconstruction using tissue from the belly, especially in people with higher body weight. You may be more likely to benefit if you’re at higher risk for wound problems after abdominal flap surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07837973RecruitingPhase 2
Medicine to maintain weight loss after weight-loss shots
This study tests a new medicine called ALV-100 to see if it can help people who have already lost weight with a weight-loss injection or pill keep the weight off. You must be currently on a stable weight-loss medicine and have lost at least 10% of your body weight to join.
Irving, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT07815678RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Safety study of an oral medication in people with normal or higher weight
This study tests a new oral medication called ACCG-2671 to see how safe it is and how your body handles it. It's an early-stage trial, so the main focus is on safety and tolerability. The study has different parts: one for people with normal weight and one for people with higher weight who are already taking a GLP-1 injection for weight loss.
Webster, TexasAges 25–75 - NCT07793929RecruitingPhase 1
Kidney function and study drug levels
This study checks how different levels of kidney function affect the levels of a new investigational drug called Ribupatide in the blood. It helps doctors understand how the drug works in people with various kidney conditions.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–85 - NCT07783802RecruitingPhase 2
Study of clazakizumab for adults with high inflammation and heart risk
This study tests whether clazakizumab can reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes in people with high levels of inflammation (measured by a blood test called hsCRP) and conditions like heart disease, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or kidney disease. If you qualify, you'll receive either the study drug or a placebo to see if it helps lower your risk.
Cypress, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07780188Recruiting
Lean beef in a healthy meal plan for teens with PCOS
This study tests whether adding lean beef to a healthy meal plan can help teens with PCOS improve their health. You'll follow a special diet and wear a small monitor to track your blood sugar, and the study may help you feel better and manage your condition.
College Station, TexasAges 11–17 - NCT07770841RecruitingPhase 3
Oral medication for weight loss study
This study tests an oral medicine (semaglutide) to see if it helps adults with excess weight lose weight. It might offer an easier, pill-based treatment option for weight management.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07740291Recruiting
Tirzepatide and lifestyle study for weight loss
This trial compares two ways to manage weight: taking a GLP-1 medication (like tirzepatide or semaglutide) versus making lifestyle changes without medication. It will help researchers learn which approach works best for people with overweight or obesity.
Lubbock, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07720271RecruitingPhase 3
Zenagamtide weight loss study for adults
This study is testing a new tablet called Zenagamtide to help people with extra body weight lose weight. It's for adults who are not diabetic and haven't used similar weight loss drugs before.
Amarillo, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07684235RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term study of a weight-loss drug for trial graduates
This study tests a drug called Maridebart Cafraglutide for long-term weight management in people who completed a previous related trial. It looks at how well the drug works and its safety over time.
Austin, TexasAges 18–99 - NCT07684144RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term study of a weight-loss medication for people who completed an earlier trial
This study tests the long-term effects of a medication called maridebart cafraglutide for weight management. It is for people who already completed a 72-week study of this drug and want to continue treatment.
Austin, TexasAges 18–99 - NCT07668414RecruitingPhase 3
Study comparing Zenagamtide and Semaglutide for weight loss
This trial tests a new medicine Zenagamtide to see if it helps people with excess weight lose more weight than Semaglutide, an existing weight loss drug. You may join if you are an adult with overweight or obesity but do not have diabetes.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07667803RecruitingPhase 3
Study of elecoglipron for weight loss in obesity or overweight
This trial tests an investigational drug called elecoglipron to see if it helps people with obesity or overweight lose weight. It may be an option if you have a high body mass index or weight-related health issues like high blood pressure or prediabetes.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07652047RecruitingPhase 1
Safety Study of CX11 Tablets for Weight Management
This study tests whether a new medication called CX11 is safe and well-tolerated at different doses in people with overweight or obesity. The goal is to understand how the body responds to the drug before larger trials test whether it helps with weight loss.
Austin, TexasAges 18–55 - NCT07607587RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new weight-loss drug for people who couldn't tolerate GLP-1 shots
This study tests a new injectable medication called cagrilintide for people with obesity who had to stop GLP-1 drugs (like Ozempic or Wegovy) because of stomach problems. The goal is to see if cagrilintide causes fewer stomach side effects while still helping with weight.
Amarillo, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07571109RecruitingPhase 3
Weight Loss Medicine for Sleep Apnea on CPAP
This study tests a new injectable medicine (NNC0487-0111) to help people lose weight and improve obstructive sleep apnea (a breathing condition during sleep). You must already be using a CPAP machine (positive airway pressure device) for your sleep apnea.
DeSoto, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07571005RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a New Weight-Loss Medicine for Sleep Apnea
This study tests whether a new injectable medicine called NNC0487-0111 helps people with excess weight and moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops repeatedly during sleep) lose weight and improve their sleep apnea—without needing a CPAP machine. The goal is to see if better weight loss can reduce sleep apnea symptoms.
DeSoto, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07533175RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new weight-loss medicine for type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether a new medicine called NNC0487-0111 helps people with type 2 diabetes and excess weight lose weight. You'll take the medicine along with your current diabetes care to see if it works better than standard treatment.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07509307RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new medicine for weight loss and knee pain in osteoarthritis

What taking part in a 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.

Common questions
- Are there obesity clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 100 recruiting obesity studies with a site in Texas, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a obesity study in Texas?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a obesity trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
