What effect did Foundayo™ (orforglipron) have on waist circumference in phase 3 studies for weight management?

In ATTAIN-1 and ATTAIN-2, for the treatment-regimen estimand, change from baseline in waist circumference ranged from -7.1 cm to -10.0 cm and -5.4 cm to -8.3 cm across orforglipron doses, respectively, and -3.1 cm and -2.8 cm with placebo.

Which Weight Management Studies Evaluated the Effect of Orforglipron on Waist Circumference?

The effects of orforglipron on waist circumference in adults with obesity or overweight were evaluated in 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, including

  • ATTAIN-1 in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity excluding type 2 diabetes (T2D), and
  • ATTAIN-2 in adults with obesity or overweight with T2D.1,2

ATTAIN-1 and ATTAIN-2 had a treatment duration of 72 weeks and compared an investigational orforglipron capsule formulation at doses of 6 mg, 12 mg, and 36 mg with placebo.1,2

This response presents efficacy data from the investigational orforglipron capsule formulation (1 mg, 3 mg, 6 mg, 12 mg, 24 mg, and 36 mg) shown as equivalent doses of once-daily orforglipron tablets (0.8 mg, 2.5 mg, 5.5 mg, 9 mg, 14.5 mg, and 17.2 mg). 1-4

In both studies, all participants received lifestyle interventions, including guidance on diet and physical activity.1,2

What Were the Changes in Waist Circumference in ATTAIN-1 in Adults With Obesity or Overweight With Weight-Related Comorbidities Except Type 2 Diabetes?

In ATTAIN-1, change from baseline in waist circumference at week 72 was a multiplicity-adjusted key secondary endpoint.1

In ATTAIN-1, for the treatment-regimen estimand, participants treated with orforglipron had significant reductions in waist circumference compared with placebo (p<.001 for all orforglipron doses vs placebo; Table 1).1

For efficacy results based on the efficacy estimand, please refer to the Appendix.

What Were the Changes in Waist Circumference in ATTAIN-2 in Adults With Obesity or Overweight With Type 2 Diabetes?

In ATTAIN-2, change from baseline in waist circumference at week 72 was a multiplicity-adjusted key secondary endpoint for orforglipron 17.2 mg.2

At week 72, for the treatment-regimen estimand, participants treated with orforglipron 17.2 mg had significant reductions in waist circumference compared with placebo (p<.0001 for orforglipron 17.2 mg vs placebo; Table 2).2

Results for the orforglipron 5.5 mg and 9 mg dose groups are presented in Table 2.

For efficacy results based on the efficacy estimand, please refer to the Appendix.

Notes: Treatment-regimen estimand represents the estimated average treatment effect regardless of treatment discontinuation of study intervention or initiation of prohibited weight management treatments.

a Data are model-based estimates (95% CI) from ANCOVA (treatment-regimen estimand).
b Change from baseline to week 72 in waist circumference for orforglipron 5.5 mg and 9 mg vs placebo was not a key secondary endpoint in ATTAIN-2 and thus not controlled for type 1 error. P values were not included.
