Time-restricted Eating Acceptability, Efficacy and Safety in Obesity
NCT06695988 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
A randomized controlled trial to determine adherence, acceptability and safety of time restricted eating (TRE) in healthy, sedentary, free-living adults with obesity between the ages of 19-65 years when following 16:8 TRE for 8 weeks. This 9-week study includes a baseline week and 8 weeks of the intervention period. Participants are randomly assigned to the TRE or the non-fasting control group. The TRE group will consume calorie containing food and drink only over an 8 hour period and rest of the 16 hour would be fasting. Adherence to TRE and calorie intake are the primary outcomes. Motivators, facilitators and barriers to TRE, hunger and cravings levels, weight bias internalization, body composition (weight, body fat%, fat mass and muscle mass) , Healthy Eating Index (HEI) to assess diet quality, skin carotenoid levels, disordered eating risk, sleep quality, and perceptions of health and well-being are secondary outcomes.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06695988
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06695988 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 46 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Mississippi, Oxford, which has 3 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 Time Restricted Eating appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Time Restricted Eating 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: NCT06695988 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Mississippi. 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.
