Case Study: Obesity (Weight Loss) Trial 2022
STUDY SPONSOR | Global Pharmaceutical Company

This makes New Zealand a strong location for clinical trials in healthy weight management.
In this instance, Optimal was the fastest and highest global recruiter in an obesity trial testing a potential new treatment for weight loss. In partnership with the sponsor, our Senior Medical Advisor presented the study design at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 2025 conference following our top recruitment and significant input into the trial data.
The study was complex, with multiple infusions and additional subcutaneous injections, as well as regular DEXA scans, and dietary counselling that required tight planning and precision. Clear communication and strong support from the medical and
research team kept participants engaged and visits on schedule.
