    Weight Loss Stalled? You May Have Options. 

    If you’re currently on a weekly weight loss injection but your progress has slowed or stopped, you’re not alone. Many people experience a weight loss plateau—and a new research study may help explore additional options. 

    ENCORE Research is enrolling participants for a study evaluating an investigational add-on treatment designed to support additional weight loss while continuing your current medication. 

    About the Study 

    This research study is designed for adults who are already taking a weekly weight loss medication but are experiencing persistent obesity or limited continued weight loss. 

    The study is evaluating whether adding an additional investigational treatment can help: 

    • Support further weight loss  
    • Improve overall weight management outcomes  
    • Enhance long-term results beyond current therapy  

    Participants will continue their current weekly medication throughout the study. 

    • Study-related care provided at no cost
    • Compensation available for qualified participants

     Who Is This Study For? 

    This study may be a good fit if you: 

    • Have been taking a weekly weight loss injection for at least 4 months
    • Initially lost weight but have now hit a plateau
    • Still have overweight or obesity and want to lose more weight  

    Basic Qualifications 

    You may qualify if you: 

    • ✅ Are 18 years of age or older
    • ✅ Are currently on a stable weekly weight loss medication(no recent dose changes)  
    • ✅ Have been on your medication for at least 4 months
    • ✅ Have experienced slowed or stopped weight loss
    • ✅ Have a BMI ≥30, or BMI ≥27 with a related health condition

    Participants with or without Type 2 diabetes may qualify.

      Struggling with Leg Pain When Walking? You’re Not Alone. 

      If you experience leg pain, cramping, or fatigue when walking, it could be a sign of peripheral artery disease (PAD)—and a new research study may be able to help. 

      St. Johns Center for Clinical research  is currently enrolling participants for a PAD research study evaluating an investigational treatment designed to improve walking ability and reduce discomfort. 

      About the Study 

      This study is focused on adults diagnosed with peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition that can reduce blood flow to the legs and make everyday activities like walking difficult. 

      Researchers are studying a new treatment approach to better understand how to: 

      • Improve walking distance  
      • Reduce leg pain and cramping  
      • Enhance overall quality of life  
      •  

      Participants will receive expert medical care and regular health monitoring throughout the study. 
       
       Do You Experience These Symptoms? 

      You may relate to this study if you: 

      • Feel leg pain or cramping when walking
      • Have to stop walking due to discomfort
      • Notice your walking distance getting shorter
      • Experience leg fatigue that limits daily activities

       
       Who May Qualify? 

      You may be eligible if you: 

      • ✅ Are 18 years of age or older
      • ✅ Have been diagnosed with peripheral artery disease (PAD)
      • ✅ Experience leg pain, cramping, or fatigue when walking

          What is an abdominal aortic aneurysm?

          An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a bulge in the aorta (the main artery leaving the heart) caused by a weakening in the artery wall. If left untreated, this bulge may continue to grow and possibly rupture (break open), causing serious internal bleeding.

          If you or someone you know has AAA, you may qualify for our research study.

          Westside Center for Clinical Research is currently seeking volunteers for a new clinical research study focused on Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD). This study is designed for adults who have experienced a recent cardiovascular event and are currently taking a statin medication. 

          About This Study 

          Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of serious health complications worldwide. This research study is evaluating potential approaches that may help improve outcomes for people living with ASCVD who are already receiving statin therapy. 

          Researchers are looking to better understand how new therapies may support individuals who have experienced significant cardiovascular events. 

          Your participation could help researchers learn more about improving heart health and preventing future complications. 

          Who May Qualify 

          You may be eligible to participate if you: 

          • Are an adult 18 years of age or older  
          • Have experienced one of the following cardiovascular events within the last year: 
            • Heart attack 
            • Large artery ischemic stroke 
            • A revascularization procedure due to symptomatic peripheral artery disease 
          • Are currently taking a stable dose of a statin medication 
          • Are on a maximum tolerated dose of statin therapy

            5. Non-pharmaceutical, non-invasive, biodegradable devices, if last used > 1 year before screening

          Exclusion Criteria:

          • Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥ 6.5% (48 millimoles per mole [mmol/mol]) as measured by the central laboratory at screening.
          • History of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus as declared by the participant or reported in the medical records.
          • Treatment with glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RA), dual GLP-1/gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) RAs (or any other GLP-1 based treatment) or amylin analogues within 1 year before screening.
