Clinical trial for Type 1 Diabetes
Official title A Clinical Trial Using Tirzepatide to Help Adults With Type 1 Diabetes Automatically Control Their Blood Sugar
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07284511
What this study is testing
What is Tirzepatide?
an investigational once‑weekly injectable medicine being studied as an adjunct treatment for adults with type 1 diabetes using an automated insulin delivery system is designed to activate both GIP and GLP‑1 receptors, which can lower appetite, slow gastric emptying, and reduce insulin requirements
Also referred to as Mounjaro.

- What it's testing
- This study is testing whether tirzepatide can let adults with type 1 diabetes keep good blood sugar without counting carbs.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you are an adult with type 1 diabetes who uses an insulin pump.
- What's involved
- You would get weekly tirzepatide shots and use a Tandem Control‑IQ pump with a Dexcom G7 sensor. You will attend clinic visits and share your glucose and insulin data.
