EVs in Obesity and Cardiometabolic Disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at tiny particles released by cells (called extracellular vesicles, or EVs) in people with obesity and related heart health issues. Researchers want to see if these particles are different in people with obesity and diabetes, which could help find new ways to treat or prevent heart problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a BMI of 30 or higher (this is the obesity group).
- For some patients, you also need to have prediabetes or diabetes (A1C above 5.7 or fasting glucose above 100).
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You cannot have had a heart attack or a history of heart valve disease.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether tiny fat-based particles (“adiposomes”) can affect how well your blood vessels work, especially in people with diabetes and higher body weight. You may be asked to do moderate exercise and other study procedures after passing safety checks.
This study looks at how being overweight affects heart health. It tests a program that includes monthly check-ins and surveys, and is for people with a BMI of 30 or higher who also have a heart condition. The goal is to learn more about how to help people with both weight and heart concerns.
This study looks at how genetic markers (DNA) relate to heart health and “metabolic” health (how your body manages sugar and fat). You may be asked to provide genetic samples and follow study health checks and protocols to help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
This study looks at how very small particles in the body (“extracellular vesicles”) relate to insulin action and how the body handles sugar. It may help researchers understand why some people have better or worse insulin responses.
This study looks at how tiny particles called extracellular vesicles affect how your body uses insulin, and whether exercise can make a difference. It is for people with type 2 diabetes (or normal blood sugar) who are not very active and have been on diabetes medication for a long time.
This study looks at heart health risks in people with obesity who have not had heart disease before. It aims to understand how obesity affects cardiometabolic risk factors.
