About this study
In plain language
This study tests how well orforglipron works and how safe it is for people who are overweight. It looks at whether the drug lowers the future risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, unhealthy blood fat levels, or class 1 obesity, the lowest level of obesity.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of orforglipron in participants with overweight and assess whether it helps reduce the future risk of obesity-related conditions, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, and progression to class 1 obesity.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Your waist size is at least half your height.
- You have at least one early health problem: blood sugar, blood pressure, or blood fat levels that are above normal but not yet high enough for a diagnosis.
- You have tried at least once to lose weight through diet and exercise without success.
- Your BMI (a measure of weight compared with height) is 25 to 29.9, or meets your region's range for overweight.
Who can't join
- You have any type of diabetes.
- Your weight has not stayed stable during the 90 days before screening.
- You have a recorded obesity diagnosis or report ever having a BMI of 30 or higher, or your region's matching cutoff.
- You have used weight-loss medicines, including nonprescription medicines or alternative treatments, during the 180 days before screening.
- You have had or plan to have surgery or a procedure to treat obesity.
- You have high blood pressure or have had it in the past.
- You have unhealthy blood fat levels, such as cholesterol, or have had them in the past.
