Study For People With Type 2 Diabetes Who Are Overweight Or Obese
As the population becomes increasingly heavy, the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes is also increasing. Obesity/over-weight is a risk factor for developing diabetes as well as hypertension, stroke, some cancers, sleep apnea and many other conditions. Excessive weight is preventable and treatable. Even a weight loss of only 5-10% is associated with positive health benefits. If you do not have your glucose well controlled and need to lose weight, now is the time to make some changes. We are seeking volunteers who are interested in both losing weight and controlling their diabetes to participate in a Phase 3 research study. The purpose of this study is to support the safety and effectiveness of a research medication for weight loss.Â
This study will incorporate lifestyle management and an injectable research medication. Our professional healthcare team will be closely monitoring your care. The study will last for 78 weeks with 34 weekly visits and 12 monthly visits thereafter.Â
