Weight-Loss shot tested as potential breakthrough for dual diagnosis of schizophrenia and alcoholism

NCT ID NCT06939088

Summary

This study is testing whether a weekly injection called tirzepatide, currently used for diabetes and weight loss, can help reduce heavy alcohol use in people who also have schizophrenia. About 108 participants will receive either the real drug or a placebo (dummy injection) for 26 weeks, while also getting supportive therapy. Researchers will track drinking habits and use brain scans in some participants to see if the drug changes how the brain responds to alcohol cues.
