In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether a flexible, symptom-guided titration strategy for tirzepatide can help adults with obesity without diabetes stay on treatment longer, while maintaining weight-loss effectiveness. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does flexible, symptom-guided titration increase time on treatment (delay treatment discontinuation) compared with standard per-label titration over 76 weeks? * Does flexible titration reduce gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea and vomiting, compared with standard titration? * Does flexible titration achieve weight loss comparable to standard titration? Researchers will compare standard per-label titration with a click-based, symptom-guided titration approach to assess differences in treatment persistence, tolerability, and effectiveness. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to standard or flexi

However, the following are allowed: (1) liposuction and/or abdominoplasty, if performed \>1 year before screening; (2) lap banding, if the band has been removed \>1 year before screening; (3) intragastric balloon, if the balloon has been removed \>1 year before screening; or (4) duodenal-jejunal bypass sleeve, if the sleeve has been removed \>1 year before screening. * Uncontrolled thyroid disease, defined as thyroid stimulating hormone \>6.0 mIU/L or \<0.4 mIU/L as measured by the central laboratory at screening. 3\. Mental health: * History of major depressive disorder within 2 years before screening. * Diagnosis of other severe psychiatric disorder (e.g. schizophrenia, bipolar disorder). * A Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score of โ‰ฅ15 at screening. * A lifetime history of a suicidal attempt. * Suicidal behavior within 30 days before screening. 4. General safety: * Use of non-herbal Chinese medicine or other non-herbal local medicine with unknown/unspecified content within 90 days before screening. * Presence of acute pancreatitis within the past 180 days prior to the day of screening. * History or presence of chronic pancreatitis. * Personal or first-degree relative(s) history of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 or medullary thyroid carcinoma. * Renal impairment measured as estimated glomerular filtration rate value of \<15 mL/min/1.73 m2 as defined by KDIGO 2012 by the central laboratory at screening. * History of malignant neoplasms within the past 5 years prior to screening. Basal and squamous cell skin cancer and any carcinoma in-situ are allowed. * Any of the following: myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, or transient ischemic attack within the past 60 days prior to screening. * Subject presently classified as being in New York Heart Association Class IV. * Surgery scheduled for the duration of the trial, except for minor surgical procedures, in the opinion of the investigator. * Known or suspected abuse of alcohol or recreational drugs. * Known or suspected hypersensitivity to trial product(s) or related products. * Previous participation in this trial. Participation is defined as signed informed consent. * Participation in another clinical trial within 90 days before screening. * Female who is pregnant, breast-feeding, or intends to become pregnant, or is of child-bearing potential and not using a highly effective contraceptive method. * Any disorder, unwillingness, or inability, not covered by any of the other exclusion criteria, which in the investigator's opinion, might jeopardize the subject's safety or compliance with the protocol.
