NCT05110664

Brief Summary

A double-blind, cross-over, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept study using oral peptide YY3-36 solution to investigate the mechanistic role of lingual PYY in regulating appetite, energy intake and food preference in people with overweight/obesity. The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanistic role of lingual PYY in regulating appetite, energy intake and food preference in people with overweight/obesity.

    ad libitum energy intake

    up to 6 hours

Secondary Outcomes (7)

Eligibility Criteria

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

People with overweight or obesity (BMI 25.0-39.9 kg/m2), identified via the University College London Hospitals (UCLH) Bariatric Centre for Weight Management and Metabolic Surgery and through advertising via University College London (UCL) and ULCH, will be invited to take part.

You may qualify if:

  • \. Adults aged 18-65 inclusive. 2. People with a body mass index (BMI) between 25.0 and 39.9 kg/m2 3. Stable weight for past 3 months (≤5% change in preceding 3 months as reported by participants).
  • \. Females of childbearing potential must be on highly effective contraception and have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days of their study visits. NOTE: Subjects are considered not of childbearing potential if they are surgically sterile (i.e. they have undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or they are postmenopausal.
  • \. Fluent in English and able to understand and complete questionnaires. 6. Willing and able to provide written informed consent and comply with the study protocol.

You may not qualify if:

  • Female subjects who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
  • Female subjects of childbearing potential who are not on highly effective contraception.
  • Post-menopausal women who have not had a period of spontaneous amenorrhea for more than 1 year.
  • Previous bariatric surgery.
  • Type 1 or 2 diabetes.
  • Current use of weight loss medications or taking medication that affects appetite, e.g., antidepressants such as mirtazapine.
  • Food intolerances, or allergies, that would make fixed energy meal and/or ad libitum meal unable to be performed.
  • Impairment of sense of taste and/or smell, as per subject assessment and direct questioning.
  • Poor dental hygiene or oral pathology.
  • Current smokers of tobacco products.
  • Any other factor making the participant unsuitable in the view of investigator.
