About this trial

This trial aims to asses if tirzepatide-induced weight loss will lead to metabolic and hormonal changes in hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor-negative (HER2-), node-positive (N+) high risk early breast cancer patients with obesity or overweight, inhibiting the growth and survival of micrometastatic disease and leading to clearance of tumor-informed circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and freedom from the development of metastatic disease.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Female or male patients ≥18 years of age

Have a diagnosis of node-positive, hormone receptor-positive (ER+ > 10%), and HER2-negative breast cancer within the past 15 years per the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines

If patients have synchronous bilateral ER+ breast cancers, tissue from both primary cancers should be submitted for next-generation sequencing (NGS) to inform ctDNA testing

Patients with multifocal/multicentric cancers are eligible and the largest focus of cancer should be submitted for NGS evaluation. If tested, all tumor foci must meet have ER > 10%

Disqualifiers

Prior bariatric surgery and/or endoscopic procedures for weight loss (e.g., intragastric balloon, sleeve gastrostomy) following diagnosis of breast cancer

Treatment with a GLP-1/Glucagon receptor agonist, GIP/GLP-1/Glucagon receptor agonist, GIP/GLP receptor agonist, or any combinations with GLP-1 receptor agonist therapies within the last 3 months

History of severe hypersensitivity reaction to GLP-1/Glucagon receptor agonist, GIP/GLP-1/Glucagon receptor agonist, or any combinations with GLP-1 receptor agonist therapies

Insulin-dependent diabetes
