Tirzepatide versus usual care for adults with obesity (no diabetes) in UK primary care
Official title: A Phase 4 Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label, Interventional Study With Pragmatic Elements Investigating the Effectiveness of Tirzepatide Once Weekly Compared With Standard of Care in Adult Participants With Obesity and Without Diabetes in a Real-World Setting
Run by Eli Lilly and Company · NCT07247084 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will test whether tirzepatide helps adults with obesity who do not have diabetes lose weight and lower their chance of developing type 2 diabetes compared with standard care in UK primary care.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults without diabetes who have BMI 30–34.9, waist-to-height ratio >0.5, at least one weight-related comorbidity, and who have tried lifestyle measures to lose weight are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
People who already have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, those with recent large weight changes, or individuals with contraindications to tirzepatide are unlikely to benefit from this study's intervention.

What this trial studies
This phase 4 interventional study will enroll adults with obesity but without diabetes and compare treatment with tirzepatide to standard of care over about 260 weeks in a real-world primary care setting. Participants must have BMI 30–34.9 kg/m2, an elevated waist-to-height ratio (>0.5), at least one weight-related comorbidity, and a prior attempt at lifestyle weight loss; people with any form of diabetes or recent large weight change are excluded. The trial will use data from participating UK primary care practices and electronic health records to track body weight changes and new diagnoses of type 2 diabetes. Outcomes aim to reflect effectiveness and safety of tirzepatide when used alongside routine clinical care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, tirzepatide could provide sustained weight loss and reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes for people with obesity who do not yet have diabetes.
How similar studies have gone: Prior phase 3 SURMOUNT trials showed substantial weight loss with tirzepatide in people with obesity, and this study tests whether those results translate into routine primary care.
