Clinical Trials
Drug, biologic and supplement trials (treatment or prevention) from ClinicalTrials.gov whose main condition is Obesity (Severe / Morbid): recruiting, active or completed, most recently updated first. Data retrieved 2026-10-28.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of Tirzepatide in patients with persistent obesity (BMI \> 30) 12 months after bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass). The investigators also aim to determine the frequency of side effects with Tirzepatide in this patie...
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the efficacy, safety, metabolic, and cardiovascular effects of liraglutide in children aged 6 to 12 years with severe obesity. Participants are randomized to receive liraglutide plus lifestyle intervention or lifestyle intervention alone for 6 months. In ad...
The effectiveness of low-protein diets supplemented with essential aminoacid (EAA) formulas in genetic disorders of amino acid (AA) catabolism, such as maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), is widely recognized (Blackburn PR et al. 2017). The main aim of the present study is to evaluate a difference in ...
This study seeks to examine whether meal-replacement therapy is able to enhance weight loss among teens with severe obesity. In addition, we are also interested in examining the degree of weight loss needed to improve important cardiometabolic risk factors among adolescents.
Obesity has been considered as a risk factor for mortality and development of complications during infection with the influenza virus. Several case studies of severe and fatal infections have identified possible effects of obesity on disease progression; these effects include extensive viral replica...
The purpose of this study is to examine the efffects of bile acid and bile acids sequestrants on GLP-1 secretion, in patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of bile acid and bile acids sequestrants on GLP-1 Secretion, during a meal, in patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
This 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will test the hypothesis that Vibegron (brand name GEMTESA) can improve energy metabolism, cardiometabolic risk factors, and physical and cognitive function in middle-aged and older adults with obesity.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group dose-finding study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of enicepatide at low, middle, and high doses in participants who are overweight or obese with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if there are differences in the effect of 12 weeks of tirzepatide versus semaglutide on energy balance in adults with obesity and without known diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: \- Does tirzepatide have a greater effect on energy expe...
This study will evaluate the changes in glycemic control in overweight and obese adults with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus after receiving CT-868 for 16 weeks. The effectiveness and safety of CT-868 will be compared to placebo. All participants will continue with their standard diabetes care using either...
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose phase Ib clinical trial, aiming to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity characteristics of MWN109 injection in Chinese non-diabetic participants with overweight or obesity....
The study will evaluate how well AZD6234 works and how safe it is in adults with excess weight or obesity. Efficacy of AZD6234 will be compared to placebo in percent body weight change from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment
Morbid obesity, is known to be associated with a high risk of VTE and, unfortunately, fixed doses of anticoagulant regimens may not provide optimal VTE prophylaxis in these patients especially after surgery.
A Phase 2a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study to explore the safety and efficacy of NT-0796 as an adjunct to semaglutide in participants with obesity over a 6 months treatment period.
Agents Found By Disease-Level Search
Searched directly from “Obesity (Severe / Morbid)” via ClinicalTrials.gov interventions and Open Targets' disease→drug data — independent of the 8-gene target panel above. This surfaces agents whose mechanism doesn't route through a curated gene (combination therapies, standard-of-care drugs, targets outside the panel).
