Official title
Effectiveness of Alternative Therapies in Maintaining Weight Loss Achieved by GLP-1 Medications Post-Cessation: A Randomized, Controlled Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this randomized, controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative therapies (metformin alone, with rapamycin, and with low-dose naltrexone) in maintaining weight loss in patients weaning off GLP-1 medications. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Whether the combination of metformin, with or without rapamycin or low-dose naltrexone, will be adequate to maintain the relative weight of individuals gradually discontinuing GLP-1 receptor agonist use. * Whether individuals discontinuing GLP-1 receptor agonist use who instead use a combination of metformin, with or without rapamycin or low-dose naltrexone, will experience less weight regain over the course of six months post-cessation than those who do not use any alternative medications. Researchers will compare the four groups: 1) control, 2) metformin, 3) metformin + rapamycin, and 4) metformin + low-dose naltrexone, to assess changes in the percentage of weight regain, metabolic indicators (e.g., HbA1c, lipid profile), and quality of life PROs, six months after cessation of GLP-1 therapy. Participants will: * Administer the assigned intervention following a dosing and administration protocol provided by the study and medical team. * Complete a medical intake for overall health status, medical history and demographic information, * Complete patient-reported outcomes/surveys and assessments * Complete blood work at baseline and every 16 weeks thereafter to measure CBC, CMP, and standard health biomarker panels (e.g., cholesterol, glucose, creatinine, sodium, potassium). * Share data from health wearables with the research team throughout the study to improve the accuracy of evaluating activity, sleep, heart rate, and other related healthspan measures.
