In clinical trials, tirzepatide demonstrated significant reductions in hemoglobin A1c levels (up to 2.5% reduction in SURPASS diabetes trials) and body weight (up to 20% reduction in SURMOUNT obesity trials) compared to placebo and other medications
Its levels are commonly quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with electrochemical or mass spectrometry detection (HPLC-ECD or HPLC-MS/MS), offering high sensitivity and specificity
