A Study of Tirzepatide (LY3298176) in Participants With Obesity or Overweight

Purpose

This is a study of tirzepatide in participants with overweight and obesity. The main purpose is to learn more about how tirzepatide affects body weight. The study has two phases: A main phase and an extension phase. The main phase of the study will last 72 weeks. Participants with prediabetes will continue in the extension for another 2 years.

Placebo
- Primary Treatment Period (Week 0-Week 72): Participants with normoglycemia or prediabetes at the time of randomization received once weekly (QW) subcutaneous (SC) doses of a matching placebo, administered over a period of 72 weeks. - Additional Treatment Period (Week 72-Week 176): At week 72, only participants who had prediabetes at the time of randomization and had completed the primary treatment period continued receiving the placebo dose SC QW until week 176. - Safety Follow-up Period: Participants who had completed or discontinued the primary treatment period were followed for safety for 4 weeks (weeks 72 - week 76), and those who had completed or discontinued the additional treatment period (prediabetes at randomization) were followed for 17 weeks (week 176 - week 193). No treatment was administered during this period.
