We are recruiting for 4 new clinical research studies of obesity medication this summer and continuing into the fall, beginning June 2018. If you know friends or family members that might be interested in participating, please let them know. Studies typically include dietary and behavioral support for one -two years. Assignment to research drug will be blinded and randomized, meaning you may receive placebo. Participants will receive a physical examination and be given various laboratory tests, all at no cost. Each participant’s medical condition will be closely monitored.
Research studies can be a useful option for weight management creating a structured support for behavioral change, commitment, and an opportunity to try a new therapy—all at no cost to you. Also, you may help others who struggle with weight by contributing to the understanding of obesity. Most studies require one- two hour appointments throughout the duration of the study. Participants will need to be comfortable with having blood drawn and fasting for 8 to 12 hour periods for all/most appointments.
If you, or someone you know might be interested in participating in an investigational drug study please complete the questionnaire. Once the questionnaire has been received, a research team member will contact you, usually within two weeks. The best way to reach a research team member is at (703) 807-0037.
