OHSU Joins Weight Loss and Improved Glucose Management Study

in ,

We are excited to announce that Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland is participating in an important study looking at a novel GLP-1/GIP agonist, CT-868, for glycemic control in overweight and obese people with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

CT-868 is similar to the medication Tirzepatide (Mounjaro), a GLP-1/GIP medication that the FDA approved for glucose and weight control in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Since there are no GLP-1/GIP agonists currently approved for T1D, studies like the CT-868 trial offer potential new ways to increase glucose control, improve weight management, and reduce long-term complications for those living with T1D.

Qualified Participants Must:

  • Be a generally healthy adult with no tobacco use
  • Have A1C levels between 7%-10%
  • Be using a CGM within 3 months
  • Have a BMI >27 and not be using any weight loss supplements within 6 months
  • Have an insulin requirement of at least 0.6 units/kg/day

Additional criteria apply

Qualified Participants May:

  • Receive access to study professionals
  • Receive up to $1800 compensation for time and travel
  • Have access to study medications
