What this trial means for you
This study is recruiting now at 40 US sites. It's studying Tirzepatide for psoriasis, overweight or obesity.
What participants typically get: study medication (or placebo, if the trial uses one) and study-related medical care at no cost, plus close monitoring. Compensation for time and travel varies by study — ask the site. Note that in many trials you can't choose your treatment group, and some participants receive a placebo.
