Mounjaro: How will Manchester weight loss drug trial work?
The trial will make use of the Greater Manchester Care Record – an innovative joined up database of patient information from health and social care providers in the region.
About 600,000 adults live with obesity in Greater Manchester, according to Mark Fisher, chief executive officer of the NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board.
He said the condition “reduces their quality of life and puts additional pressure on the health and care system” and welcomed the study in his region.
Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, said: “Greater Manchester is world-renowned as a hub for innovation in health and life sciences.”
Laura Rooney, director of strategy at Health Innovation Manchester, said the announcement of the trials was a “huge achievement”, and testament to strength of the health and care and academic sectors in the city.
The researchers said the plan was to release more details about the study at a later date.
