Assessment

Primary outcomes

Effect of Tirzepatide on body weight in participants with obesity.

Key secondary outcomes

1. Incidence and profile of adverse events associated with tirzepatide administration in patients with obesity
2. Effects of tirzepatide administration on body composition in patients with obesity, including the following parameters:
muscle mass, skeletal muscle mass, skeletal muscle index (SMI), fat mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat level, basal metabolic rate, bone mineral content, and basal metabolic rate
3. Effects of tirzepatide administration on fingertip advanced glycation end products (AGEs) score in patients with obesity
4. Effects of tirzepatide administration on the following metabolic parameters in patients with obesity:
HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, lipid profile (LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), liver function parameters (AST, ALT, GGT), FIB-4 index, fasting insulin, fasting C-peptide (CPR), HOMA-R, insulinogenic index assessed by a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), serum total protein, serum albumin, and changes in concomitant medications and the number of medications from baseline.

Interventions/Control_1

After six months of standard obesity management, including dietary counseling and exercise therapy, subcutaneous administration of tirzepatide (2.5 mg once weekly) will be initiated.
While monitoring body weight changes and tolerability, the dose may be escalated as appropriate (to 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, or 15 mg once weekly), with the principle that each dose level is maintained for a minimum of four weeks before further escalation.
Following a total treatment period of 72 weeks, the intervention will be discontinued. Subsequently, physical and metabolic changes will be continuously monitored for an additional six months, and up to one year if patient consent is obtained.
