Assessing Follow up Trajectories in Eating, Routines, and Weight After GLP-1
United States200 participantsStarted 2026-08-01
Plain-language summary
Many people who use GLP-1 medications (such as semaglutide or tirzepatide) achieve meaningful weight loss, but maintaining that weight loss off after stopping the medication can be very challenging. Researchers at Tufts University are conducting a study to learn whether a digital lifestyle program can help people maintain their weight loss after they stop taking a GLP-1 medication.
Adults who have recently stopped a GLP-1 medication may be eligible to participate. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive access to a digital program or to continue with usual care. The study lasts 12 months and is fully remote. All participants will receive a Bluetooth scale to track weight from home and will complete short online questionnaires several times over the year.
By taking part, participants can help researchers better understand how to support long-term weight maintenance in a way that is affordable, accessible, and sustainable. Participants are compensated for their time, and involvement may help improve care for others with similar experiences.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
