About this study
In plain language
This study compares orforglipron with dulaglutide in children ages 10 to 17 with type 2 diabetes. It checks how well the medicines work, how safe they are, and how the body processes them. Taking part lasts about 61 weeks.
This study looks at how well a medicine called orforglipron works compared to another medicine called dulaglutide in pediatric participants aged 10 to less than 18 years with type 2 diabetes. The study will also check how safe these medicines are and how the body processes them. Participation in the study will last about 61 weeks.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Be 10 to 17 years old.
- Have type 2 diabetes treated with diet and exercise, plus metformin, basal insulin (long-acting insulin), or both.
- Have an HbA1c above 6.5% and no higher than 11.0% at screening. This blood test measures average blood sugar.
- Weigh at least 50 kilograms (110 pounds) and have a body mass index (BMI) above the 85th percentile. BMI compares weight with height; this cutoff is higher than that of 85 out of 100 children of the same age and sex.
Who can't join
- Have type 1 diabetes.
- Have had diabetic ketoacidosis (dangerous acid buildup in the blood) or hyperosmolar syndrome (very high blood sugar with severe loss of body fluids) since the type 2 diabetes diagnosis.
- In the 6 months before screening, have had severe low blood sugar or low blood sugar without noticing warning signs.
- Have had pancreatitis (swelling of the pancreas) or gallbladder disease.
- You or a family member have had medullary thyroid carcinoma (a type of thyroid cancer) or MEN2 (a condition that causes tumors in glands that make hormones).
- In the 90 days before screening, have used blood sugar medicines other than metformin, basal insulin, or SGLT2 inhibitors.
- In the 90 days before screening, have used prescription or over-the-counter medicines that promote weight loss.
