NCT ID NCT06734273

First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether taking tirzepatide, a medication that helps with weight loss, after sleeve gastrectomy surgery can help people lose more weight and better manage conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. About 42 adults aged 18 to 65 with severe obesity will take part. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and more effective than surgery alone.
