Scientists probe brain changes when popular Weight-Loss drug is paused

NCT ID NCT07387796

Summary

This study aims to understand how temporarily stopping and then restarting tirzepatide—a medication that helps control blood sugar and appetite—affects brain activity, mood, hunger, and daily life. Researchers will follow 40 adults currently taking tirzepatide, measuring changes while they're on the medication, after a 3-4 week break, and again after restarting it for 6-8 weeks. The study uses brain scans, questionnaires, and interviews to learn about the effects of pausing this medication, with all changes supervised by a study doctor for safety.
