Weight loss study in people with very high body weight
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial looks at how to support long-term weight loss and improve how your body handles fat breakdown. It may help people who have severe obesity after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, but it has several health and lifestyle limits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at people who have had bariatric surgery but still struggle to lose weight (or lose it poorly). It aims to better understand how to help “poor responders” and what might be interfering with weight-loss results.
This trial compares two types of bariatric (weight-loss) surgery to see which helps people with severe obesity lose weight and stay healthy. You might be eligible if you’re between 20 and 60 and are already being referred for bariatric surgery after prior unsuccessful weight-loss attempts.
This study looks at why some people lose more weight and improve their health more than others after bariatric surgery. It also has a subgroup that specifically studies people who are insulin resistant (a sign of prediabetes) to see how surgery affects their metabolism.
This trial studies a specific type of metabolic (weight-related) surgery for people whose sleeve gastrectomy did not lead to enough weight loss or has caused significant weight regain. It may help improve long-term weight and related health problems.
This trial studies bariatric (weight-loss) surgery and how well it helps people reach and keep a healthier weight. You may qualify if you have severe obesity and have not been able to maintain weight loss with other attempts, and if you can safely follow the study plan.
This study compares two programs for people with severe obesity: an intensive weight-loss diet and a weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery). It aims to see which approach works better for long-term health.
