A study on brain tumors and weight gain after treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a diet therapy for young people who have gained a lot of weight after treatment for a certain type of brain tumor. The goal is to see if the diet can help manage obesity related to the tumor or its treatment.

This study aims to improve diagnosis and treatment planning for people with severe obesity—especially when it may be related to a genetic cause or a brain condition affecting appetite. You may be invited if your case includes clues from your history or symptoms, and you can consent to genetic testing discussions as part of usual care.
This study looks at changes in thinking, behavior, and brain structure that can happen when people with cancer lose weight and appetite (called cachexia). Researchers will use questionnaires and brain scans to understand these changes, which may help improve care for people with cancer.
This study looks at how the body's energy use (metabolism) changes in children with a brain tumor before and after treatment. The goal is to understand how the tumor and its treatment affect the body, which may help improve care in the future.
This study offers a weight management program for people with obesity who are undergoing active cancer treatment (chemo or radiation) for a solid tumor. It aims to help you manage your weight while you fight cancer, and requires living in the Barcelona area.
This study tests a combination of two medications, phentermine and topiramate, to see if they help young people with hypothalamic obesity lose weight safely. Hypothalamic obesity is rapid weight gain caused by injury to the hypothalamus, often from a brain tumor or its treatment.
This trial tests a weight management program for women with early-stage endometrial cancer or atypical hyperplasia who want to keep their fertility. It aims to see if losing weight can improve treatment outcomes.
