Topline data from two phase 3 trials evaluating orforglipron, an oral GLP-1 receptor agonist, in patients with type 2 diabetes, have been announced.
The ACHIEVE-2 trial compared the efficacy and safety of orforglipron with dapagliflozin in adults with T2D and inadequate glycemic control with metformin. Participants (N=962) were randomly assigned to receive orforglipron (3mg, 12mg, or 36mg) or dapagliflozin (10mg) once daily, alongside background metformin therapy.
The primary endpoint was the change from baseline to week 40 in HbA1c, with a baseline HbA1c of 8.1%.
Author summary: Orforglipron lowers HbA1c significantly.
