Eli Lilly and Company is conducting a clinical study titled ‘Efficacy and Safety of Tirzepatide Once Weekly Versus Placebo for the Treatment of Obesity and Weight-Related Comorbidities in Adolescents: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial (SURMOUNT-ADOLESCENTS-2).’ The study aims to evaluate the impact of tirzepatide on body weight and cardiovascular risk factors in adolescents with obesity and related health issues, alongside healthy nutrition and physical activity.
The intervention being tested is tirzepatide, administered subcutaneously, which is intended to assist in weight management and improve cardiovascular health in the target population. A placebo is used for comparison.
This Phase 3 interventional study employs a randomized, parallel assignment model with double masking for both participants and investigators. The primary goal is treatment-focused, ensuring a robust evaluation of tirzepatide’s efficacy and safety.
The study began on June 3, 2024, with an estimated completion timeline of 76 weeks, involving up to 23 visits. The latest update was submitted on June 24, 2025, indicating ongoing recruitment and progress.
Market analysts are closely watching this study as positive outcomes could enhance Eli Lilly’s market position, potentially boosting its stock performance. The study’s focus on adolescent obesity, a growing health concern, may also influence investor sentiment positively, especially in comparison to competitors in the obesity treatment market.
The study is currently ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
