Resistance Exercise and Incretin Mimetic for Cardiometabolic Health in Survivors of ALL With Obesity

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is a 28-week, single-arm, open-label phase II clinical trial evaluating the combination of Tirzepatide and remote, supervised, tailored resistance exercise training to achieve weight loss in adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) living with obesity or overweight with comorbidity. Primary Objective(s): • To evaluate the effectiveness for weight loss of the combined intervention using once weekly Tirzepatide plus remote, supervised, tailored resistance exercise (three sessions per week) in adult survivors of childhood ALL with obesity or overweight (BMI ≥27 kg/m2) with ≥1 weight-related comorbidity (hypertension, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, or cardiovascular disease). The effectiveness will be estimated as the proportion of evaluable participants who achieve at least 5% weight loss from baseline to week 28. The study will target a proportion of participants achieving 5% weight loss of 70% and consider fewer than 40% achieving 5% weight loss as unacceptable. Secondary Objective(s): * Estimate the proportion of participants who adhere to the 28-week combined intervention. Adherence to Tirzepatide will be defined as receiving at least 70% of prescribed doses. Adherence to resistance exercise will be defined as attending at least 50% of prescribed exercise sessions. Adherence to the combined intervention will be considered if participants complete the study and meet both the Tirzepatide and exercise adherence endpoint. The adherence to each component of the intervention will also be reported. * Estimate the average percentage weight loss from week 0 to 28 for participants completing the combined 28-week intervention. The study will target a mean weight reduction of 10% and consider \<5% unacceptable.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Participant has clinically significant gastric emptying abnormality or chronically takes medications that affect GI motility (does not include Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) or histamine 2 blockade)
  • Participant has a transplanted organ or awaiting a transplant
  • Participant is unwilling or unable to perform self-injections of study drug (visually impaired or physically limited) and does not have assistance of a sighted individual/support person who is trained
  • Participant lives in a state that we cannot ship medication per current St. Jude Pharmacy restrictions

Other illness

  • Participant has Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2 (MEN2) or family history of medullary thyroid cancer

  • Participant has severe mental health disorder (e.g.major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or other serious mood or anxiety disorder) or a history of suicide attempt
  • Participant has a history of known drug or alcohol use disorder that in the opinion of the investigator may preclude the participant from following and completing the protocol
  • Participant has history of self-reported marijuana use in the past 3 months and unwilling to abstain during the trial.
  • Participant has cognitive impairment that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude the ability to participate in the intervention including self-injections and virtual study visits
