Weight Loss Research Study

Are you between the ages of 20 and 55? Are you overweight with a BMI of between 26 and 40? Are you interested in trying a new meal replacement smoothie mix which may help you lose weight? The Minnesota Diet Research Center (MDRC) is conducting a clinical research study at the MAPS Applied Research Center (MARC). This study is 12 weeks long and requires 7 visits to the research center in Edina to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational beverage to replace breakfast and lunch during a calorie-restricted diet. Volunteers will receive compensation for their study participation. If you have no chronic medical conditions or digestive disorders and you do not routinely exercise 30 minutes or more each day, we invite you learn more about this clinical trial. Please call MARC at 952-937-9000 between 8 am and 5 pm M-F, or e-mail MARCSTAFF@painphysicians.com for more information.

What are the different types of clinical trials?
Treatment trials test new drugs or combination of drugs, new treatments or new approaches to surgery.
Prevention trials look for better ways to prevent disease or preventing disease from returning.
