Around 63% of the UK’s adult population are considered to be overweight or obese (Source: UK Government). Obesity is a growing global health crisis and can lead to numerous health issues in the future, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension.
We’re investigating a treatment for weight management and how effective it is in those patients who are overweight or living with obesity.
This study is open to anyone over the age of 18 who:
- Has a BMI of 30 or over
Or
- Has a BMI of 27 or over AND
- Has a condition such as Hypertension, Prediabetes or Cardiovascular Disease
Other inclusion / exclusion criteria will apply and this will be discussed with you by one of our research team over the phone
Your participation in this study will last for just under 2 years and will involve receiving the study treatment, or a placebo, once a week throughout the study.
Your participation will also involve regular visits to our clinic throughout the course of the study.
You will receive compensation for your study related time and activities, such as visits to our clinic
Participation in clinical trials provides access to innovative and potentially life-saving treatments. It also contributes to medical research, benefiting both current and future healthcare outcomes. It provides cutting-edge medical care under professional supervision and empowers individuals to contribute to the well-being of society. However, participants should carefully weigh up the risks and benefits and seek advice from their doctor before taking part in a trial.
Compensation varies from trial to trial. However, you can expect compensation for your travel expenses. In addition to reimbursement of travel expenses, you will often also receive an expense allowance as approved by an ethics committee. You will be informed of the amount of compensation before attending.
