Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This prospective cohort study investigates the effects of tirzepatide versus liraglutide on bone turnover markers and body composition in adults with class 3 obesity, characterised by Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥40 kg/m². Participants will be followed for 6 months with assessments at baseline, 3 and 6. The primary outcome is the change in bone resorption marker C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) at 3 months. Secondary outcomes include changes in body weight, BMI, bone mineral density (BMD), and body composition. The study aims to clarify the differential impact of weight loss achieved through tirzepatide versus liraglutide on bone metabolism and body composition in adults with obesity.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Title of the study Comparative investigation of changes in body composition and bone turnover markers in people with obesity after treatment with tirzepatide versus liraglutide. A prospective cohort study.

Research Hypothesis:

The investigators hypothesize that treatment with tirzepatide versus liraglutide will yield distinct effects on markers of bone turnover and body composition, independent of the magnitude of weight loss due to different molecular mechanisms of action.

Introduction Obesity is a growing global health concern, associated with various metabolic disorders, including hypertension, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, sleep apnea and ultimately cardiovascular events. Obesity has also been linked to osteoporosis and high risk of fragility fractures. However, this relationship remains complex, as it involves multiple factors, including mechanical load from body weight, the type and distribution of adipose tissue, imbalances in nutrient intake, and a wide variety of cytokines (adipokines) and hormones secreted by the adipose tissue. On the other hand, rapid and substantial weight loss is associated with a significant reduction in bone mineral density (BMD), osteomalacia and increased risk of fragility fractures. Assessment of bone turnover status can be reliably assessed by circulating levels of bone turnover markers (BTMs) such as the bone resorption markers C-terminal telopeptide of type I (CTX), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP5b), which evaluates bone resorptive capacity and is not influenced by renal clearance and bone formation markers such as procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP). Clinical trials have demonstrated that diet-induced weight loss is associated with deterioration of bone metabolism, as indicated by alterations in BTMs and Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) measurements of BMD. In addition, bariatric management of obesity, particularly malabsorptive surgical modalities, are known to increase the risk of fractures at two years postoperatively. Weight-loss treatments such as liraglutide, the first injectable Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist approved for obesity, and tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1/Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency for treating obesity, has shown efficacy in weight management but their effects on bone metabolism are not fully understood. Liraglutide administration in diabetic mice improves bone health, by altering the levels of BTMs CTX, osteoprotegerin (OPG), osteocalcin (OC), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), reducing the number of osteoclasts, and improving bone architecture. Similarly, in mice models with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) under liraglutide treatment, BMD and bone microarchitecture is improved, with reductions in BTMs such as Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase type 5b (TRACP-5b) and CTX, and increases in ALP and OPG. A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial of 56 individuals with diabetes (mean age: 63 years) showed that liraglutide at a dose of 1.8 mg did not affect bone metabolism despite a reduction in body weight. Another randomized controlled study of 37 women with obesity (mean age 46 years, BMI 34kg/m2) who lost 12% of body weight after a 12-week low-calorie diet and were subsequently randomized to placebo or liraglutide at a dose of 1.2 mg, found that liraglutide increased P1NP levels by 16%, highlighting its positive effects on bone metabolism following weight loss. Nevertheless, clinical data on the effects of liraglutide on bone metabolism are limited. Regarding tirzepatide, the pronounced weight loss from its administration seems to have a neutral effect on bone mass and microarchitecture in diabetic mice, with no significant changes in BTMs. However, no clinical data are currently available regarding tirzepatide effect on bone metabolism. The concern, however, is that the combination of GLP-1 and GIP, which leads to greater weight loss, may have a different impact on bone metabolism than GLP-1 agonists alone.

Necessity/ Originality The available human studies in populations with diabetes and obesity are limited, with most reaching a maximum dose of Liraglutide in 1.8 mg daily and not resulting in significant weight loss associations with bone metabolism. There are no human studies with tirzepatide concerning its impact on bone metabolism.

The necessity and originality of the study lies in the fact that no previous research has investigated the effects of tirzepatide (at maximum doses of 10 -15 mg weekly) and liraglutide (at dose of 3 mg daily) on both body composition parameters and bone metabolism in individuals with obesity.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the potential differential effects of tirzepatide versus liraglutide on bone turnover status and body composition parameters in patients living with obesity and explore the association with differences in the magnitude of weight loss and the different mechanisms of action (GlP-1 agonism versus GIP/GLP-1 synergy).

Primary - Objectives:

1. To evaluate the impact of tirzepatide on bone turnover status and bone mineral density in patients with obesity.
2. To assess the effects of liraglutide on bone turnover status and bone mineral density in patients with obesity.
3. To compare the alterations in bone metabolism across the 2 intervention groups, after adjustments for the differences in weight loss.

Secondary - Objectives:

1. To evaluate the impact of tirzepatide on body composition parameters in patients with obesity.
2. To assess the effects of liraglutide on body composition parameters in patients with obesity.
3. To compare the alterations in body composition parameters across the 2 intervention groups, after adjustments for the differences in weight loss.

Significance of the Study/ Clinical relevance This research will provide valuable data regarding the effects of weight-loss medications on bone health and body composition in individuals living with obesity. The findings may influence clinical practice guidelines and therapeutic approaches in managing obesity and its associated complications.

For premenopausal women, blood sampling will be conducted during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, based on the patient's menstrual history.
5. Study Endpoints:

* The primary endpoint is to investigate comparative changes in the bone resorption marker CTX at 3 months with liraglutide vs tirzepatide.
* Secondary endpoints include:

1. changes in body weight and BMI at 6 months
2. BMD and body composition parameters measured by DXA scan at baseline and after 6 months of intervention.
6. Data Analysis:

* Statistical analysis will be performed using ANOVA for comparison between groups. Correlation with changes in weight and bone metabolism indices will also be assessed using regression analysis.
7. Sample size calculation The sample size calculation for this study was based on the least significant change (LSC) of the C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) marker in serum at three months. Using this threshold, the investigators determined that a total of 32 patients per arm would be required to achieve adequate statistical power (80% statistical power (false negative), 5% error (false positive). With anticipated drop-out rate of 10%, about 36 participants/ per group should be randomized, ensuring sufficient power to detect meaningful changes in CTX levels while accounting for potential variability in the biomarker response.
