Interventions

  • Tirzepatide — DRUG
    Tirzepatide will be initiated at the lowest dose of 2.5 mg once weekly for 4 weeks. The dose will then be titrated every 4 weeks based on patient tolerance to 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, and 15 mg.
  • Standard medical treatment — OTHER
    Participants will receive postoperative care and follow up per institutional standard-of-care practices

Study Details

Mild Autonomous Cortisol Secretion (MACS) is a condition in which an adrenal gland produces excess cortisol and is associated with high blood pressure, diabetes, and weight gain. Surgical removal of the adrenal gland (adrenalectomy) is standard treatment, but some patients continue to have metabolic health problems after surgery. This randomized study will evaluate whether treatment with tirzepatide after adrenalectomy improves metabolic outcomes in patients with MACS compared with adrenalectomy alone.

  • Active Comparator: Standard of Care arm
    Participants in this arm will receive standard of care management for as determined by their treating clinician.
