About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial pilot is to determine the feasibility of an intervention to enhance weight management in patients who have stopped taking anti-obesity/weight management medications in primary care. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Can patients be recruited into the study efficiently? * Is the program acceptable to patients? * Can the study be conducted efficiently?

The new program will be compared to usual care.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

For run-in: prescribed liraglutide, semaglutide, or tirzepatide or newer medication approved by the FDA for long-term use for obesity treatment for the purpose of weight managment by a primary care provider at Rush University System for Health and have received at least one dose of the medication concurrent with enrollment in the study.

For randomization: discontinue their prescribed anti-obesity medication.

Age 18+

Treatments tested in this trial

  • PRISM Program

    Behavioral

    This is a novel, remotely delivered, self-tailored intervention for post-anti-obesity medication discontinuation weight management. The program incorporates standard-of-care behavioral intervention strategies for weight control to improve routine self-weighing, dietary self-monitoring, and increasing physical activity. The program includes an enhanced focus on strategies to reduce food cue reactivity. The program includes six monthly one-on-one sessions between study staff and participants, asynchronous online check-ins weekly for 12 weeks, and bi-weekly for 12 weeks.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Recruitment rate

The recruitment rate will be defined as the number of participants randomized into the clinical trial per month.

Time frame
Baseline
2

Acceptability of the Intervention

Self-reported Likert scale items will assess the overall satisfaction with the program, the likelihood participants would recommend the program to others, and their satisfaction with individual treatment components (e.g., the online check-ins).

Time frame
3 and 6 months post randomization

Secondary outcomes

1

Medication adherence duration questions

A published measure will be used to assess adherence throughout the run-in period. These questions will be asked bi-weekly to assess adherence with minimal participant burden.

Time frame
From consent to reported discontinuation, up to 22 months
2

Reasons for Discontinuation questions

A published measure will be used to assess reasons for discontinuation throughout the run-in period. These items will be asked only if participants indicate nonadherence.

Time frame
Baseline

Other outcomes

1

Recruitment efficiency

Recruitment efficiency will be defined as the days between the participant's last AOM dose and the date of randomization into the trial.

Time frame
Baseline
2

Retention to the study

Retention to the study will be defined as an observed weight assessed during the 6-month assessment period.

Time frame
6 months post-randomization
3

Intervention adherence

Intervention adherence will be defined as the number of one-on-one intervention sessions completed (out of 6 possible) and the number of online check-ins completed (out of 16).

Time frame
Randomization to 6 months
4

Percent weight change

Weight data for outcome assessments (0, 3, and 6 months) will be collected remotely.

Time frame
3 and 6 months post-randomization
