ClinConnect Summary
The SEMASEARCH trial is studying the effects of a medication called WEGOVY® on individuals struggling with obesity and related health issues. This research will look at both past patients and new patients from 15 specialized obesity centers. The goal is to better understand how WEGOVY® works for different groups of people, especially those with specific conditions like binge eating disorder or obesity caused by medications. Researchers will collect detailed information about the participants and use advanced technology to identify factors that might predict how well someone responds to the treatment.
To be eligible for this study, participants must be at least 18 years old and have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, along with at least one other weight-related health issue, such as high blood pressure or sleep apnea. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding cannot participate. Those who join the study can expect to provide information about their health and possibly undergo some medical tests. This trial aims to help create more personalized treatment options for people dealing with obesity.
