Tirzepatide Treatment Options in Tennessee

This study is being done to compare the effects of a newer class of weight loss medications to weight loss surgery on the body's muscle, metabolism, and side effects over time. People with severe obesity often lose weight using either medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as semaglutide or tirzepatide) or by having bariatric surgery, such as gastric bypass. While both approaches can lead to weight loss, they may affect the body in different ways. The investigators are inviting adult patients who are planning to either start one of these weight loss medications or undergo gastric bypass surgery to join this study. Participants will be asked to complete four body composition scans (called DXA scans) over the course of a year-at the beginning of the study and again at 3, 6, and 12 months. These scans will help us measure changes in fat and muscle. Participants will also complete surveys and provide information on side effects, such as nausea or fatigue, that may affect their eating or activity levels. The investigators' goal is to better understand how different weight loss treatments impact not just weight, but also muscle mass, energy levels, and side effects. This information may help doctors and patients choose the most appropriate treatment in the future. Read Less

The main aim of the study is to assess the effect of RO7204239 in combination with tirzepatide, compared to placebo in combination with tirzepatide, on body weight loss after 48 weeks of treatment in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity, but without diabetes mellitus (DM). The study comprises of a 4-week screening period; a 48-week core treatment period, where all participants will receive tirzepatide as background treatment and will be randomized to one of the 4 treatment arms; a 24-week treatment extension period, where participants will stop treatment with tirzepatide and a 24-week post-treatment follow-up (FU) period.

The main purpose of this study, performed under the master protocol W8M-MC-CWMM (NCT06143956), is to investigate the safety and efficacy of LY3841136 for chronic weight management alone or in combination with Tirzepatide across a wide dose range in participants with Type 2 Diabetes. Participation in the study will last about 64 weeks. Read Less

The main purpose of this study is to show whether in these individuals, treatment with both mirikizumab and tirzepatide, compared with treatment with mirikizumab and placebo, leads to decrease or disappearance of UC symptoms, and loss of at least one-tenth of the overall body weight. Participation in this study will last up to 61 weeks, including 52 weeks of treatment. Read Less

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mirikizumab and placebo compared with mirikizumab and concomitantly administered tirzepatide in adult participants with moderately to severely active CD and obesity, or overweight. The maximum duration of this study is up to 61 weeks. Read Less

The purpose of this Phase-2 chronic weight management master protocol (CWMM) is to create a framework to evaluate the safety and efficacy of various investigational interventions for chronic weight management with intervention-specific appendices (ISAs). The CWMM establishes entry criteria for newly enrolled participants across the master and the ISAs. The ISAs may start independently of other ISAs as interventions become available for clinical testing. The results for the CWMM screening record will be reported when all the ISA's complete.

The main purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of adding tirzepatide to ixekizumab therapy in standard clinical practice in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque PsO and obesity or overweight with at least 1 weight-related comorbidity. The study will last up to 12 months. Read Less

This research study is comparing the effectiveness of a weight loss medication called Tirzepatide in young adults with Prader-Willi Syndrome and/or hypothalamic obesity, as compared to young adults with obesity that is unrelated to a genetic syndrome or underlying medical cause. These groups will be given medication for 1 year to see how weight and other health factors are effected by the medication. Read Less
