New drug could make weight loss surgery safer and more effective

NCT ID NCT06721507

Summary

This study is testing whether taking the weight loss medication tirzepatide for three months before bariatric surgery improves patient outcomes. Researchers want to see if the drug reduces body-wide inflammation, which could lead to better weight loss, fewer complications, and improved health markers after surgery. The trial will compare 50 patients who take the weekly injection before their planned surgery to those who do not.
