Tirzepatide

Participants received a starting dose of 2.5 mg tirzepatide once weekly (QW) for 2 weeks, followed by an increase to 5 mg QW for 2 weeks, and 10 mg QW for 4 weeks until the 15-mg dose was reached and maintained for the remainder of the treatment period (4 weeks) administered subcutaneously (SC) in one of two study periods.
