Summary

This study is testing whether tirzepatide, a drug used for weight loss, can help people with early-stage hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer lose at least 5% of their body weight during their regular cancer treatment. About 40 participants will take the drug and be monitored for side effects, weight changes, and long-term cancer outcomes. The goal is to see if weight loss is safe and feasible in this group.
