Tirzepatide for Obesity and Meth Use Disorder
Brief Summary
This is an open-label pilot study to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of using tirzepatide when prescribed for its United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved weight-related indication in individuals with comorbid methamphetamine use disorder.
Detailed Description
This study will enroll up to 45 individuals with moderate-to-severe methamphetamine use disorder who meet the FDA-approved weight-related indication for tirzepatide \[as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in adults with an initial body mass index (BMI) of: 1) 30 kg/m2 or greater (obesity) or 2) 27 kg/m2 or greater (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbid condition (e.g., hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea or cardiovascular disease)\]. Enrolled participants will receive weekly treatment with tirzepatide for a 32-week period that will be followed by 4-week-long observational follow-up.
