Lifestyle change for weight and fertility in obese men
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a lifestyle program (diet and exercise) can help men with obesity lose weight and improve their chances of fathering a child through fertility treatment. You and your partner can join if you are an obese male, your partner has a healthy weight and regular periods, and you are both planning treatment at our center.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a male between 22 and 40 years old.
- Your BMI is 30 or higher (this means you are in the obese range).

This study looks at how ovarian reserve (a fertility-related marker) changes in women after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery versus women with obesity who are not planning surgery. It may help doctors better understand fertility timing and risks around weight-loss treatment.
This trial tests whether a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists (often used for diabetes and weight loss) can improve pregnancy outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who are overweight or obese. If you have PCOS and a BMI between 28 and 35, you may be eligible to participate.
This study tests a new way to give a fertility hormone (FSH) in pulses through a small tube to see if it helps women with obesity or low egg reserve have better egg development with fewer health risks. It may improve fertility treatment outcomes for these women.
This trial tests whether changing your diet can affect the small molecules in sperm and improve the chances of a successful pregnancy. It's for men who are about to have their first IVF treatment.
This study tests whether a very low-calorie weight loss program before pregnancy can improve the chance that a child will have a healthier weight later. It follows families and stores samples from the child at home.
This study tests whether a weight-loss injection or a healthy lifestyle program can improve sperm quality and fertility in obese men with low sperm health. You would be randomly assigned to one of the two groups, and the study will track your progress over time.
