Summary
This early-phase study tests whether tirzepatide, a drug used for diabetes and weight loss, can lower certain markers in the body linked to colorectal cancer risk. It involves 20 adults aged 18-50 with a BMI between 27 and 40 who have had a recent colonoscopy. Researchers will measure changes in urine, blood, and gut bacteria to see if this approach could help prevent early-onset colorectal cancer.
