Anti-obesity Pharmacotherapy and Inflammation
Pilot Study of the Effect of Weight Loss by Pharmacotherapy on Chronic Pro-tumor Inflammatory Cells
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
This study aims to determine if weight loss by pharmacotherapy with liraglutide, semaglutide, or phentermine-topiramate promotes the reduction of pro-tumoral inflammatory cells Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC), simultaneously to the improvement of lipid profile (LDL-Cholesterol, HDL-Cholesterol, triglycerides, and free fatty acids) and concentration in the blood.
Liraglutide, semaglutide, and phentermine-topiramate are FDA-approved medications to treat obesity and obesity-associated comorbidities.
Twenty-four patients undergoing standard of care for anti-obesity treatment at VA Medical Center, and Tulane Center for Clinical Research (TCCR) will be recruited before initiation of pharmacotherapy as part of their standard of care and followed up to 6 months to compare the primary study variables.
