Weight loss methods for longer life with metabolic syndrome
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests weight loss methods in people with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and excess weight. It aims to see if losing 15-20% of body weight can help people live longer and healthier.

This trial tests a lifestyle program combined with two medications (semaglutide and dapagliflozin) to help people with metabolic syndrome lose weight and improve their health. It may be an option if you are an adult with a BMI of 27 to 45 and have metabolic syndrome.
This trial tests if empagliflozin, a medication typically used for diabetes, can help people with metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like large waist size, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure). It may improve health and reduce the risk of heart disease.
This study tests whether a diabetes medication called an SGLT2 inhibitor can reduce inflammation in body fat and improve blood vessel function in people with metabolic syndrome. It may help prevent heart disease and other complications.
This study tests if combining intermittent fasting, calorie reduction, and physical activity can help manage metabolic syndrome (a group of risk factors that increase your chance of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes). If you have at least three of five specific health issues (like belly fat, high blood pressure, or high blood sugar) and are an adult aged 18 or older, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether weight loss from a medication can improve how you feel, move, and how well your heart works. It's for people who have both obesity and heart failure with reduced pumping strength.
This trial tests an investigational drug, BGM0504, for people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who also have obesity. It aims to see if the drug can help control blood sugar and support weight loss.
