Clinical Research Associates is currently seeking overweight, but otherwise relatively healthy, volunteers between the ages of 18 and 65 to participate in a research study comparing the effects of an investigational medication versus a placebo (non active medication) on weight regain and weight maintenance after low calorie diet induced weight loss.

There are 22 visits in this approximately 60 weeks long study.  The first six weeks will include weekly visits and a liquid diet.  Participants will meet with a registered dietician for dietary and activity counseling.  The following 52 weeks, or the treatment period, participants will receive additional dietary counseling for refeeding and diet maintenance.  Throughout the study, there will be study related physical exam, lab work and telephone contact to monitor your safety and progress.  Compensation is available for time and travel.

Qualified participants will receive at no cost:

· frequent dietary counseling

· study related examinations and labs

· study medication

If you are interested in participating in this research study please fill out the brief form to the right.
