Metabolic health study for people with extreme obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body handles energy and health in people with severe obesity (BMI of 60 or higher). It involves eating pre-made meals to see how your body responds, which may help improve future treatments.

This trial looks at how to support long-term weight loss and improve how your body handles fat breakdown. It may help people who have severe obesity after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, but it has several health and lifestyle limits.
This study tests whether a specific diet and behavior program can help people with overweight improve their health. You will be asked to follow a specific eating plan and eat certain foods provided by the researchers.
This study collects small tissue samples during certain abdominal surgeries to better understand what drives severe obesity and related blood-sugar patterns. If you agree to the extra sampling, your information and samples may help researchers build a “biological atlas” that could guide future treatments.
This study follows people who have obesity but are otherwise metabolically healthy, to see how their health changes over time. You may qualify if your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol are normal.
This study tests a personalized nutrition program based on your unique data. It aims to help improve health and weight through tailored diet advice.
This study checks how reliable routine lab tests and research techniques are for metabolism research. It may help you if you are a healthy adult with a stable weight and no major health conditions.
