Daily Eating Patterns for Total Health Study
NCT06455995 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to learn how the time of day when calories are eaten affects weight loss in the long-term (12 months). The main aims are to learn: 1. The influence of time-based energy intake goals on longer-term weight loss. 2. The influence of time-based energy intake goals on eating temporal patterns, sleep regularity, and appetite regulation. Researchers will compare whether goals to eat most of a person's calories in the morning or evening work to treat obesity. Participants will: 1. Eat a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet (some participants will have goals to eat their calories at certain times of day based on their group) 2. Be physically active at least 200 minutes 3. Receive a cognitive behavioral intervention

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06455995
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06455995 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 174 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, which has 34 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Obesity appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which DEPTH is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06455995 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Tennessee. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
