Advancing Obesity Clinical Development: Emerging Strategies for Next‑Gen Trials, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks

In this free webinar, understand the latest trends in obesity trial design, including muscle preservation, maintenance therapy and integrated lifestyle interventions. Attendees will learn methods for incorporating imaging capabilities to capture functional and metabolic health outcomes beyond weight loss. The featured speakers will explore strategies for promoting cross-disciplinary collaboration to enhance trial quality, efficiency and long-term clinical relevance.

TORONTO, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With global recognition of obesity as a complex, chronic disease impacting over one billion people, advancements in obesity clinical development are progressing faster than ever before. Novel pharmacologic agents, advances in lifestyle intervention strategies and new approaches to trial design are reshaping how researchers evaluate efficacy, safety and long‑term outcomes. This fast-paced change brings new opportunities, as well as challenges, to sponsors who are trying to accomplish meaningful and sustainable outcomes.

In this webinar, medical and operational experts will discuss key trends and emerging strategies that are shaping the future of obesity research. Discussion will cover muscle preservation as a vital endpoint, recognizing that lean mass loss tends to impair one's physical and metabolic function. This webinar will also discuss maintenance therapy and switch designs that address the chronic nature of obesity and the long-term need to maintain the benefits post-initial weight loss. Pharmacologic outcomes can be enhanced by the integration of diet and lifestyle interventions, and innovative models for incorporating these elements will also be discussed.

By combining scientific innovation with operational foresight, this webinar will offer practical strategies for designing obesity trials that address long‑term patient needs, integrate novel endpoints and generate data that drives the success of obesity clinical trials.

Register for this webinar to learn the latest trends in obesity clinical development, including methods for incorporating imaging capabilities to capture functional and metabolic health outcomes beyond weight loss.

Join experts from Medpace, Dr. Phillippa Miranda, MD, Sr. Vice President, Medical Department; Douglas Lee, MB, ChB, MRCP, MBA, Vice President, Medical Department; Dr. Salvatore Zabbatino, MD, Sr. Director, Core Laboratories; and Andy Hood, Director, Clinical Trial Management, for the live webinar on Friday, October 3, 2025, at 10am EDT (4pm CEST/EU-Central).
