Weight Loss Study For People Without Diabetes
We are seeking volunteers who live with obesity to participate in a weight loss research study. The purpose of the study is to look at how well an investigational medicine helps people living with obesity to lose and maintain weight in addition to lifestyle management.
Obesity is a fast-growing health problem in the United States and worldwide. Perhaps you have struggled with weight management and have developed some obesity related health issues. The risk of obesity-related complications increases with additional body mass. The first line of treatment is lifestyle changes but this may not be adequate to achieve and maintain relevant weight loss.
The duration of the study is approximately 3 years with 27 office visits and frequent phone calls. Our professional healthcare team will oversee your weight loss program. Compensation may be available for time and travel.
