First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether tirzepatide, a drug used for diabetes and weight loss, can lower biological markers linked to colorectal cancer risk. Researchers will enroll 20 adults aged 18-50 with a BMI between 27 and 40 who have had a recent colonoscopy. The goal is to see if the drug changes certain substances in urine, blood, and tissue that are associated with cancer development.
