Phase 3 TRIUMPH adds an intermediate 6 mg step and treats 4 mg, 9 mg, and 12 mg as target maintenance doses depending on the trial arm

While lifestyle changes like maintaining a balanced, nutrient-dense diet and exercising regularly are essential to achieving and sustaining weight loss, GLP-1 medications can be used as an adjunct to support these efforts

GLP-1 medications have multiple different mechanisms in the body that help with diabetes and weight loss, including: Increasing the amount of insulin made by the pancreas , which helps control blood sugar in patients with diabetes Decreasing the amount of excess sugar made by the pancreas , which helps control blood sugar in patients with diabetes Slowing down digestion from the stomach , which results in feeling full for longer after eating Signaling to your brain that you are full after eating , which helps suppress appetite and control cravings Tirzepatide contains an extra mechanism of action that other GLP-1 medications do not, known as GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) agonism

If the data shows a clear response plateau at 4mg, that signals that a higher dose would likely provide additional benefit
