Black Impact: The Mechanisms Underlying Psychosocial Stress Reduction in a Cardiovascular Health Intervention
Recruiting
Lower attainment of cardiovascular health (CVH), indicated by the American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7 (LS7; physical activity, diet, cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index, smoking, glycemia) and Life's Essential 8 (LE8; LS7+sleep) metrics, is a major contributor to Black men having the shortest life-expectancy of any non-indigenous race/sex group. Unfortunately, a paucity of literature exists on interventions aimed at improving CVH among Black men. The team of clinician scientist... Read More

Feasibility and Acceptability of Incorporating Smartwatches Into an Exercise is Medicine Program in Older Individuals
Recruiting
The effects of exercise on prevention and improved control of chronic diseases, reduced mortality, and improved quality of life are well established. Exercise has been shown to prevent heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression, and certain types of cancers. In addition to prevention, physical activity is included in the standard or care for many chronic diseases and used in treatment. For example, the American Diabetes Association has identified positive health behaviors like physical a... Read More

TIRzepatide for the Treatment of Obesity in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Recruiting
This is a single center randomized double blind controlled study of patients (BMI\> 30 kg/m2) with obesity and Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB) randomized to Tirzepatide vs. placebo. It is expected that the significant weight loss with Tirzepatide will result in improved control, management, symptom severity, and burden of AFIB at 12 months.

Sequential or CombinaTion Anti-obesitY Medication With Muscle Preservation for Weight Loss and MaintEnance: A PragmAtic Randomized CoNtrolled Trial (STAY-LEAN Trial)
Recruiting
This is a prospective, pragmatic, 21 month, single-center, randomized, 2-phased, open-label, parallel-group trial comparing the use of enhanced lifestyle changes (ELC) in two different sequential anti obesity medication (AOM) therapies. The ELC consists of a medically-supervised and comprehensive weight loss program (Cleveland Clinic's Department of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism's Integrated Weight Management Program). In the first phase (9 months) of the study, all participants will re... Read More

A Novel Obesity Prevention Program for High-Risk Infants in Primary Care
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a responsive parenting obesity prevention program with infants and caregivers of color (e.g., non-White; Hispanic/Latinx) and/or who are economically marginalized (i.e., publicly insured), delivered via Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH) in pediatric primary care. The main questions it aims to answer are: * 1) Is the obesity prevention intervention delivered via IBH in pediatric primary care feasible and acceptable to families of color and/or families...

Comparing Reduction With ESD- Versus APC-TORe
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two variations of the same procedure used to assist with weight loss in patients who have a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass who have experienced weight regain. The procedure being studied is called the Transoral Outlet Reduction (TORe), and the trial will compare two different ways to complete the TORe procedure. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Which variation of the TORe procedure results in more weight loss? * Which variation o... Read More

Pilot Study of Isocaloric Time Restricted Eating on Ketone Metabolism and Immunoregulation
Recruiting
Background: Time restricted eating (TRE) is a form of fasting in which a person eats only during a set window of time, which is usually between 4 and 10 hours each day. Researchers want to know more about how TRE may affect health. Objective: To learn how TRE affects women with different body sizes. Eligibility: Healthy women aged 18 to 50 years. Design: Participants will have 2 visits: 1 screening visit and one 5-day stay in the clinic. Participants will fast before both visits. They wi... Read More

Comparison of Body Composition Changes With Weight Loss Interventions
Recruiting
This study is being done to compare the effects of a newer class of weight loss medications to weight loss surgery on the body's muscle, metabolism, and side effects over time. People with severe obesity often lose weight using either medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as semaglutide or tirzepatide) or by having bariatric surgery, such as gastric bypass. While both approaches can lead to weight loss, they may affect the body in different ways. The investigators are inviting adult pa... Read More
