What orforglipron clinical trials are being conducted in people with type 2 diabetes?
The ACHIEVE clinical trial program will evaluate orforglipron in adults with type 2 diabetes. The phase 3b study GZP2 is evaluating orforglipron in participants with obesity or overweight with type 2 diabetes.
Orforglipron Phase 3 Clinical Studies
Orforglipron is a novel, once-daily, oral, nonpeptide glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) being developed for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity.1
Eli Lilly and Company does not have any ongoing clinical trials comparing the efficacy and safety of orforglipron with injectable GLP-1 RAs or tirzepatide.
Phase 3 Orforglipron Clinical Studies for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes
The ACHIEVE clinical trial program assesses the efficacy and safety of orforglipron as a treatment for T2D in adults (Overview of the ACHIEVE Phase 3 Clinical Trial Program of Orforglipron for the Treatment of T2D).
