Effect of Tirzepatide on Cardiovascular and Metabolic Parameters in Obese Adult Patients With Congenital Heart Disease

1. Is the biology right?

• Somatic driver evidence: not published · This trial's cancer could not be matched to an Open Targets disease.

  Rule: Open Targets has somatic-mutation evidence for the target in this cancer. Source: Open Targets Platform, 2026-11-11
• Human genetic evidence: not published · This trial's cancer could not be matched to an Open Targets disease.

  Rule: Any germline or somatic human genetic evidence for the target in this cancer. Source: Open Targets Platform, 2026-11-11
• Pediatric target: not published · No target found for the interventions.

  Rule: Target is on FDA's Pediatric Molecular Target List (relevant targets); membership alone neither requires nor waives a study. Source: FDA Pediatric Molecular Target List (Listed as February 2026 on the FDA Pediatric Oncology page; the file served is 9.7.22_the_relevant_molecular_target_list.xlsx, whose Summary of Changes sheet is headed 'SEPTEMBER 2022 UPDATE' (footnote date 2022-09-01)), 2026-11-11
• Haematologic cancer: no · Solid tumour

  Rule: From the indication, or the registry conditions when no indication matches. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT07354880, 2026-11-11

  Published context: Likelihood of approval from phase 1: 7.5% haematologic vs 4.6% solid (BIO / Informa / QLS 2021, 2011–2020). Population-level, not a prediction.

2. Can the result be trusted?

• Randomised: yes · Randomised allocation

  Rule: Registry allocation field. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT07354880, 2026-11-11
• Small denominator: no · 30 planned; each patient moves a rate by 100 ÷ 30 = 3.3 points

  Rule: Enrolment under 30; the arithmetic is shown, not a benchmark. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT07354880, 2026-11-11
• Primary endpoint is overall survival: no · Change in exercise capacity after 6 months of treatment with tirzepatide.; Change in left ventricular systolic function after 6 months of treatment with tirzepatide.; Change in cholesterol levels after 6 months of treatment with tirzepatide.

  Rule: A registered primary outcome measure names overall survival. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT07354880, 2026-11-11

  Published context: Non-OS primary endpoint: odds ratio 2.79 for a positive phase 3 (Otsuka 2021, 400 phase 3 oncology trials, to 2020). Shown with the next figure: a surrogate is easier to hit, and often a weak guide to survival.

  Published context: 52% of surrogate-to-OS correlations are low (Prasad 2015, published to 2014). Shown with the figure above.
• Results overdue: no · Primary completion expected 2027-06-30; not yet due

  Rule: Primary completion (actual) more than 12 months ago and no results posted to the registry. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT07354880, 2026-11-11

5. Can it be approved, and stay approved?

• Single-country: not published · The record lists no sites.

  Rule: All listed sites are in one country; the share of US sites is shown. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT07354880, 2026-11-11
• EU paediatric investigation plan: no · No EMA paediatric investigation plan decision names Treatment with tirzapatide

  Rule: An EMA PIP decision (agreement, modification or waiver) lists the drug as its active substance, exact name. Source: EMA data download (dated snapshot), 2026-11-11
• EU orphan designation: no · No EU orphan designation names Treatment with tirzapatide

  Rule: An EU orphan designation lists the drug as its active substance (exact name) or belongs to a medicine that does; withdrawn and expired designations are listed with their status. Source: EMA data download (dated snapshot), 2026-11-11
• Authorised in the EU: no · EMA lists no centrally authorised medicine of Treatment with tirzapatide

  Rule: An EMA medicine record lists the drug as its active substance or INN, exact name; national-only authorisations are not in this file. Source: EMA data download (dated snapshot), 2026-11-11
• FDA orphan designation: not published · FDA's orphan designation database turns away automated requests, so this app does not read it; search it by hand at the link

  Rule: Would be: an FDA orphan designation names the drug. Source: FDA orphan designations search
• FDA pediatric oncology approval: no · FDA's table lists no pediatric approval of Treatment with tirzapatide

  Rule: FDA's Pediatric Oncology Drug Approvals table names the drug. Source: FDA Pediatric Oncology Drug Approvals (content current as of 2026-03-03), 2026-11-11
• Registered studies open to children: no · No interventional study of Treatment with tirzapatide includes patients under 18

  Rule: The registry's age group includes Child (birth to 17 years), which also counts studies that set no minimum age. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov search, 2026-11-11

• Caveat: Site counts are not patients per country, and trials registered only outside ClinicalTrials.gov are not covered. Where the sites are is a fact about the record, not a judgement of its quality.
• Rare pediatric disease voucher: FDA, content current as of 29 Apr 2026: “As of February 3, 2026, enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, the rare pediatric disease PRV program will sunset after September 30, 2029. FDA may not award any PRVs under this program after September 30, 2029.” Voucher sale prices are not shown here; they appear only as company-reported news. · FDA: Rare Pediatric Disease Designation and Priority Review Voucher Programs
