Research Study @ MUSC

The MUSC Weight Management Center is conducting a research study to determine the safety and effectiveness of an investigational weight loss medication for people who are participating in group weight loss counseling.

The group weight loss sessions are free but require attendance at 28 sessions over a year, at a fixed day and time.

To qualify, you must be between the ages of 18 and 65 years, overweight, a non-smoker for at least 6 months, not have significant illness or disease (such as heart disease and diabetes), not be taking any medications for weight loss, and meet other criteria. Qualified participants will receive medical exams, lab work, ECGs, and weight monitoring.

There is no charge for participation. This study requires a commitment of a little more than a year.
