Prescribing Information Related to Hypersensitivity

Orforglipron is contraindicated in patients with known serious hypersensitivity to orforglipron or any of the excipients in orforglipron.1

Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis and angioedema, have been reported with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists.1

Were Hypersensitivity Events Reported in Orforglipron Phase 3 Weight Management Studies?

ATTAIN-1 and ATTAIN-2 were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of orforglipron in adults with obesity or overweight. ATTAIN-1 enrolled participants without type 2 diabetes (T2D) and ATTAIN-2 enrolled participants with T2D.2,3

These studies compared an investigational orforglipron capsule formulation with placebo during 72 weeks, plus a 2-week off-drug follow-up.2,3

This response presents safety 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) approved in the United States.1-3

In the ATTAIN-1 and ATTAIN-2 clinical studies, which enrolled more than 4000 participants across 13 counties, there was 1 orforglipron-treated participant who reported a hypersensitivity reaction.2,3

Adverse events of hypersensitivity reported in ATTAIN-1 and ATTAIN-2 are presented in Table 1.

How to Manage Hypersensitivity Reactions in Patients Taking Orforglipron?

The ATTAIN-1 and ATTAIN-2 protocols did not provide specific guidance about the management of hypersensitivity reactions. During the trials, investigators used local guidelines to manage systemic hypersensitivity reactions or participants were permanently discontinued from study intervention.2,4

Eli Lilly and Company cannot provide treatment recommendations on how to manage hypersensitivity reactions in patients using orforglipron. In formulating an assessment and approach, the health care practitioner may consider

  • the patient’s prior medical history and concomitant medications, and
  • other individual factors.

The health care practitioner should consider potential risks and benefits of treatment options and monitor appropriately.
