Clinical Trial for Managing Obesity With Weight Loss

RENEW – Weight Loss Study

If you are living with overweight or obesity, then the RENEW
study may be for you. This study investigates the effect of a
new medicine on weight loss.

About the RENEW Weight Loss Study

The RENEW study investigates how well a new study medicine works at lowering body weight. The study medicine is compared to a placebo, which looks like treatment being tested but does not have any active medicine in it.

You may be able to take part in the RENEW Study if you:

  • Are aged 18 or over
  • Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 27.0 kg/m2
  • Have history of at least one self-reported unsuccessful dietary effort to lose body weight
  • Have been diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2 at least 6 months ago

You may receive compensation up to $2,550 for inconvenience and travel.

*BMI stands for body mass index. It is a number that compares a person’s weight to their height. It can be used to tell if a person may be at risk of some health conditions.

If you are interested in participating, the study doctor and staff will review additional eligibility criteria with you and answer any questions you may have.

Diversity in Clinical Research Studies

People may experience weight loss differently based on their race, ethnicity, gender, age, and background. That’s why our RENEW Weight Loss Study is committed to including a diverse range of participants. We aim to ensure that people from various communities are represented, helping us understand how the investigational medication works across different groups. By prioritizing diversity, we can gain a more complete picture of its effectiveness, ultimately leading to better treatment options for everyone. Your unique experience matters in making a difference!

Why are clinical studies important?

Clinical trials are the best way to find out if new treatments or vaccines work and how safe they are. If clinical trials show that a new treatment works and is safe, then it can be approved to be used by the people who need it.

Not all clinical trials test a new treatment or vaccine. “Observational” studies collect information about people’s health during their normal care. This helps researchers learn more about specific health issues.

What is a clinical research study?

A clinical research study is a medical study that helps to answer important questions about an investigational medication or vaccine. such as:

  • Is it effective?
  • What amount. or dose. may work best?
  • How safe is it?
  • Are there side effects?

All medications and vaccines must be tested in clinical research studies before they can be approved for use. Without people taking part in these studies, we would have no new medications or vaccines

Clinical research studies should include groups of people who may be at higher risk based on their age, sex. and race/ethnicity.

An Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Ethics Committee (EC), which protects the rights, safety, and wellbeing of the participants has approved this study.
