Safety and Efficacy of ABBV-295 in Adults With Obesity or Overweight With Weight-Related Comorbidities

Obesity is a condition where a person has excessive body fat, defined by a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or higher. The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of various doses of ABBV-295 compared to placebo on reducing body weight at Week 32 in participants with obesity or overweight with weight-related comorbidities. ABBV-295 is an investigational long-acting amylin analog being developed for chronic weight management. Participants are placed into multiple treatment groups with different dosing paradigms of ABBV-295 or placebo. Participants will not know which treatment they are receiving, and there is a chance of being assigned to placebo. Adults with obesity or overweight (as defined by BMI) with weight-related comorbidities will be enrolled. Approximately 360 participants will be enrolled in the study at approximately 70 sites in the United States and Puerto Rico. Participants will receive subcutaneous (SC) injections of ABBV-295 solution for injection or matching placebo administered via pre-filled syringes for 52 weeks during the Double-Blind Period. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care due to study procedures. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effects of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Diet Order Effects of Low Fat vs. Low Carb Diets on Body Fat Change

Background: In a previous study, participants were lived at the NIH and randomly received either a low-fat or a low-carbohydrate diet for 2 weeks and then switched to the other diet for 2 more weeks. Participants who received the low-carbohydrate diet first lost more body fat at the end of the study than those who received the low-fat diet first. Researchers want to see if they can repeat that result in a longer weight loss study when participants live at home. Objective: To test the effects of diet order in people receiving either a low-fat or low-carbohydrate diet first for 4 weeks and then immediately switched to the other diet for another 4 weeks. Eligibility: Adults aged 19 to 50 years with a body mass index of 25 or more. Design: Participants will complete the study at their homes, but there will be 3 required visits to the NIH. Participants will drink a special type of water 2 weeks before the baseline NIH visit and collect urine samples at home to measure how many calories they burn. Before the diets begin, participants will visit the NIH for baseline testing when they will have a metabolism test while relaxing in a bed with a plastic hood over their head to collect the air they breathe out. They will have scans to measure their bone density and how much muscle and body fat they have. They will give stool, blood, and urine samples. Participants will be asked to eat a specific diet for 4 weeks followed by a different diet for 4 weeks. All meals will be delivered to the participants' homes. They will eat only the foods delivered. Participants will weigh themselves daily. They will wear a monitor to track their physical activity and a sensor to measure their glucose levels. They will prick their finger each morning to test a drop of blood for ketones. Participants will meet virtually as a group with the study team weekly. Participants will have two more NIH visits towards the end of each diet period....

A Research Study on How Well Cagrilintide and CagriSema Work in Children and Adolescents With Excess Body Weight

This study will look at how well CagriSema and cagrilintide help children and adolescents with excess body weight lose weight. The study has 2 parts: main and extension study.

If participants take part in the extension study, they will get either CagriSema or cagrilintide in this part of the study. Like all drugs, the study drugs may have side effects. The total time participants will be in the main study is about 1 year and 6 months. If participants take part in the extension study, the total time is about 4 years and 10 months.
