A Trial Within Cohort Feasibility Study Design Comparing Standard of Care Versus Weight Loss (Achieved Through Tirzepatide) for Obesity-related Hypertension in Young Adults (SOLUTION-Pilot) 60 Lifestyle

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07364175 (SOLUTION-Pilot) is an interventional study for Hypertension, Obesity & Overweight that is recruiting. It started on January 1, 2026 with plans to enroll 60 participants. Led by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, it is expected to complete by January 1, 2029. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on January 29, 2026.
Brief Summary
Hypertension is the leading risk factor for death globally, affecting approximately 30% of adults in the United Kingdom. Obesity is also a serious and ongoing epidemic, with global obesity rates having more than tripled in men and doubled in women, since 1975. In the United Kingdom, 64% of the adult population are overweight or obese. Hypertension and obesity share a well-established association, with obesity being r...Show More
