Study Summary

This trial will compare the weight-loss results of two different schedules of phone-based care.

Who is the study for?
Project STAR is for individuals with obesity who have lost at least 5% of their initial weight and have a BMI between 30.0-45.0 kg/m2. Participants must own a compatible smartphone with a data plan, weigh less than 396 pounds, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. Those with certain medical conditions or treatments are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial compares two phone-based extended-care programs for maintaining weight loss: an ADAPTIVE program that intervenes when participants are 'high risk' for regaining weight, and a STATIC program with regular monthly calls.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve behavioral support via phone without medications or invasive procedures, no direct side effects from the interventions themselves are expected.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: ADAPTIVE Extended-Care GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants randomized to the ADAPTIVE extended-care program will receive extended-care intervention phone delivered only if either 1) an algorithm developed by our study team detects that a participant is at "high risk" for weight regain or 2) the participant self-initiates a request for a session.
Group II: STATIC Extended-Care GroupActive Control1 Intervention
Participants randomized to the STATIC extended-care program will receive the extended-care intervention phone calls on a fixed, once-per-month schedule (the schedule currently used in gold-standard weight maintenance programs).
