Study targeting inflammation in people with obesity and high blood pressure
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This Phase 1 study looks at a treatment aimed at reducing “inflammation patterns” that are common in obesity and insulin resistance. If you meet specific health and lab criteria, you may be asked to visit a research lab and provide blood samples to see how the treatment affects your body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 to 79.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is over 30.
- Your blood pressure is higher than 130/80.
- Your insulin resistance test is elevated (HOMA-IR over 2.5).
- Your waist is above the cutoff (over 102 cm for men, over 88 cm for women).
- You meet blood test limits: fasting glucose under 126 mg/dL and HbA1c under 6.5% (and triglycerides under 250 mg/dL).
- You are willing to visit the research lab (Fairway CTSU) and get blood drawn, and you can give written consent.

This early-phase study looks at how the body’s “fight-or-flight” signals may be involved in weight gain (obesity) and high blood pressure. It may help researchers understand the biology and guide future treatments.
This Phase 1 study tests how a medication that affects the body’s angiotensin system (angiotensin-(1-7)) changes metabolism in adults with obesity, insulin resistance, and high blood pressure. It may help researchers understand whether this approach can improve blood sugar/insulin function and related body changes.
This study tests an investigational drug called clazakizumab to see if it can reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, or cardiovascular death in people with high inflammation and certain chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or kidney disease. Participation may help researchers learn if this treatment is safe and effective for this population.
This trial looks at how weight loss changes tiny particles released from fat cells and whether that improves blood vessel function. It may help understand how losing weight can protect your heart.
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.
This study tests a new medicine (NNC6022-0004) in healthy volunteers and people with obesity to check its safety. If you qualify, you may help see if this drug is safe for future use.
