Official title Remote Approaches for Optimizing Weight Loss (Elevate Weight Loss Trial)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06875622
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study compares two ways of delivering a weight‑loss program, an automated online course or a group video conference, and looks at whether adding one‑on‑one coaching helps more. It also aims to find which mix works best for different people and to create tools for future use.
- Who it's for
- Adults who are overweight or have obesity and are willing to try a 12‑month weight‑loss program.
- What's involved
- Participants will follow a 12‑month program that sets weight, calorie, and exercise goals. They will be assigned to either an online or video group format, and some will receive individual coaching while others will not. They will have assessments at the start, at 6 months, at 12 months, and again at 18 months after the program ends.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts 12 months of active treatment, with follow‑up visits at 6, 12, and 18 months. Participants will need to attend scheduled assessments and may have to use the program’s online tools or video sessions as directed.
