Surgical or Medical Treatment for Pediatric Type 2 DiabetesSurgical or Medical Treatment for Pediatric Type 2 Diabetes (STOMP-T2D) is a prospective, open-label, controlled clinical trial funded by the National Institutes of Health for a period of 5 years. We propose to study 90 participants who are 13-19 years of age and have type 2 diabetes (T2D) at two sites Cincinnati Children’s Hospital & Children’s Hospital Colorado. We will compare glycemic control, co-morbidities and physiologic responses after vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) vs. advanced medical therapy (AMT) at 1 and 2 years. STOMP-T2D will clarify whether VSG is more effective than AMT in promoting durable glycemic control, improved pancreatic β-cell function, and reduced co-morbidities in youth with T2D.

The Effects of Acute Resistance Exercise on Energy Balance Regulation among Breast Cancer SurvivorsExercise is important for weight management after treatment for breast cancer. This study aims to assess the effect of exercise on appetite and energy intake after breast cancer treatment. Participants will complete 3-5 study visits at the University of Colorado and receive monetary compensation and instruction on resistance exercise.

Obalon? Balloon System, The Post Approval StudyThe aim of the study is to show that the device demonstrates continued performance and safety in a commercial setting. Efficacy of the Six Month Obalon Balloon System will be evaluated utilizing the standard weight loss metrics. Patients will be followed for 12 months (6- months Device therapy and 6-months post-removal). The primary objective is to collect additional safety data with the Obalon Balloon System and confirm the existing safety profile results gathered in PTL-1100-0013, the Obalon Pivotal Study. Protocol #: 18-1209 Location: University of Colorado Hospital |
ARROW study: Weight loss studyResearch study looking at your body's response to dietary changes after completing a free weight loss program. Our study will find out why people have trouble losing weight Protocol #: 18-0091 Location: University of Colorado Hospital |
Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy of a Reverse Diet as a Novel Weight Loss Maintenance Strategy for Weight-Reduced Adults with Overweight/ObesityIn this study, we will be evaluating the effects of a reverse-diet compared to standard weight loss maintenance advice. Protocol #: 17-1726 Location: University of Colorado Hospital |
Appetite Regulation in Older-Aged Obese IndividualsParticipants needed for a research study that plans to examine the effects of age and body weight on food intake, appetite regulation, and brain responses to food. Protocol #: 15-1511 Location: University of Colorado Hospital |
Tissue-specific effects of insufficient sleepThe proposed project is a within-subject consecutive design examining 14 healthy individuals after baseline and after 4 nights of insufficient sleep. Following 7 days of at-home habitual sleep of 9 hours/night and a 3-day lead-in energy balanced diet, participants will be admitted for a 6-night inpatient stay at the UC Denver. Sleep schedules will be verified via sleep logs, time-stamped voice-recorder of bed and wake times, and wrist actigraphy recordings. On the morning after the 1st night in the lab, subjects will undergo including saliva sampling, endothelial function testing, muscle biopsy, fat biopsy, hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp.

Comparison of Weight Loss Induced by Intermittent Fasting Versus Daily Caloric Restriction in Individuals with Obesity: A 1-Year Randomized TrialThis study plans to learn more about the best eating patterns for weight loss. Specifically, this study is being done to try to determine if intermittent fasting is as effective for weight loss as daily calorie restriction. In this study, we will be evaluating how your body weight, body composition, laboratory values, energy expenditure, and eating and exercise behaviors change during a 12-month weight loss program. We will also evaluate how your biology, life experiences, thought processes, behaviors, and environment predict how much weight you lose and how well you follow the diet and exercise recommendations in the study. Protocol #: 17-0369 Locations: Anschutz Health and Wellness; UCD Anschutz Health & Wellness Center; University of Colorado Hospital |
Nicotinic agonist effects on BMI and neuronal response in overweight/obese adultsThis study plans to learn more about the effects of an investigational new drug (DMXB-A) and its effects on obesity. The study drug has similar effects to nicotine. Since nicotine has been found to effect appetite, we are interested in studying the effects of the study drug, which has similarities to nicotine, on how your brain responds to such things as pictures of food. This study drug has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and is considered experimental. This research study plans to examine the effects of an investigational new drug on neuronal, physiological, and behavioral mechanisms of obesity in the general population. Protocol #: 15-0650 Location: University of Colorado Hospital |
Myeloid to Adipocyte Transdifferentiation in Human cellsIf you join the study, you will complete the following research procedures over the course of 2 study visits: Informed consent, physical exam and medical history, body composition test, blood draw and fat biopsy. This research study plans to learn more about where the fat cells in your body come from. Understanding the origin of fat cells is important because it may help to determine the health of fat cells and why fat that is stored in some places of your body is more "unhealthy" than other fat.
