Effect of Tirzepatide on Progression of Coronary Atherosclerosis Using MDCT
Matthew J. Budoff
Summary
A multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group phase IV Study evaluating the effects of tirzepatide on atherosclerotic plaque progression assessed by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in participants with a diagnosis of type II Diabetes (T2DM) and atherosclerosis.
Description
This is a multi-center study in which 120 male and female participants who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomized. Study will assess changes in coronary atheroma volume comparing tirzepatide 15 mg/week plus Standard of Care (SOC), as compared to placebo plus SOC. Potential eligible participants may be prescreened for eligibility prior to the screening visit and must have a diagnosis of atherosclerosis (as assessed by \>10% atheroma on CCTA) and T2DM. Patients must be on a stable medical regiment (\>4 weeks on statin therapy and diabetes medications) and undergo screening CCTA to dem…
