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. You may have already tried to do something about your weight through a change in diet but found you struggled to do so / failed to lose weight. This research study could be of interest to you.
We’re investigating a treatment for weight loss and how effective it is at helping to manage weight loss in patients.
This study is open to anyone over the age of 18 who:
- Has previously unsuccessfully tried to lose weight through a change in diet
- Has a BMI of 35 or over
Your participation in this study will last for a little over two years and will involve receiving the study treatment once a week.
Your participation will also involve several 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.
The conduct of clinical trials is subject to strict regulations and ethical guidelines. All of our trials are submitted to and approved by a research ethics committee in the UK. The safety of the participants is paramount at all times. While all medical interventions involve a degree of risk, safety measures are taken in the design of each study to minimise potential risks. Participants are informed of potential risks before agreeing to participate, and trials are closely monitored by medical professionals and regulatory authorities to ensure safety throughout the process. If at any point you wish to withdraw from the trial, you can, of course, do so.
