Referral criteria summary

You are 18 years of age or older
You do not have type 1 or type 2 diabetes
You have not used a GLP-1 medication (such as semaglutide or tirzepatide) at any time in the past

This is the study's public summary, not its full inclusion and exclusion criteria. A patient who does not obviously fit may still qualify — and the reverse is also true. Call the clinician line to talk through a specific patient before ruling them in or out.

About this study

We are looking for adults who are relatively healthy or at risk of developing health problems related to their weight, such as prediabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. This study is testing an investigational once-daily pill to see if it can lower the risk of those health problems getting worse or progressing to obesity.

If you join, you will receive a DEXA full body composition scan showing your Muscle, fat, and bone mass and how it changes over time.

During the study, you will come in for regular visits that include weight and waist measurements, blood draws, questionnaires, heart tests (ECGs), and body composition scans (DXA). You will be compensated for your time and travel at each visit.
