About this study
In plain language
This study compares once-weekly tirzepatide with a placebo in children ages 6 to 11 who have obesity. Along with healthy lifestyle changes, it tests how well the drug works, its safety, and how the body processes it. The study lasts about 104 weeks, with a chance to receive tirzepatide and continue lifestyle changes for 156 more weeks after finishing.
The main purpose of this study, performed under Master Protocol J4M-MC-PWMP (NCT06672549), is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of tirzepatide as an addition to healthy lifestyle in participants 6 to less than 12 years of age, with obesity. Participation in the study will last about 104 weeks. Participants who have completed the primary 104-week PW02 study (including the 4-week safety follow-up period), will have the opportunity to receive an additional 156 weeks of treatment with tirzepatide as well as continuing the lifestyle intervention.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Be 6 to 11 years old.
- Weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kilograms).
- Have obesity, with a BMI at or above the 95th percentile for age and sex. BMI is a measure based on height and weight; this cutoff means it is as high as or higher than that of 95 out of 100 children of the same age and sex.
- Have tried at least one structured diet and exercise counseling program for at least 3 months before screening without losing enough weight.
Who can't join
- Have a history of certain eye problems from diabetes: abnormal blood vessel growth, swelling in the part of the eye used for sharp vision, or other damage that needs immediate treatment.
- Have had a weight-loss procedure, such as stomach surgery or a stomach band, or plan to have one during the study.
- Have another condition that causes obesity, or sudden weight gain that suggests another cause, such as a brain, gene, or hormone condition.
- Have type 1 diabetes or a history of ketoacidosis or a hyperosmolar state—serious problems involving acid buildup or very high blood sugar.
- Have an HbA1c above 9.0% at screening. This blood test measures average blood sugar over time.
- Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2, a condition that can cause tumors in hormone-making glands.
