Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The main purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of orforglipron. Participants will have Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and have inadequate glycemic control with insulin glargine with or without metformin and/or SGLT-2 (sodium-glucose cotransporter-2) inhibitor. The study will last about 46 weeks and may include up to 20 visits.

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for this trial?

No, you don't have to stop taking your current medications. The trial requires that you continue with your stable doses of insulin glargine, metformin, and/or SGLT-2 inhibitors if you are already on them.

What data supports the idea that Orforglipron for Type 2 Diabetes is an effective drug?

The available research shows that Orforglipron is effective for treating Type 2 Diabetes. In a study comparing Orforglipron to a placebo and another diabetes drug called dulaglutide, Orforglipron showed positive results. This means that people taking Orforglipron had better outcomes than those taking a placebo, and it was comparable to dulaglutide, which is already used to treat diabetes. Additionally, Orforglipron has been shown to help with weight loss in people with obesity, which is often a related issue for those with Type 2 Diabetes.12345

What safety data is available for Orforglipron in treating Type 2 Diabetes?

Safety data for Orforglipron, also known as LY3502970, has been evaluated in several studies. A Phase 1b trial assessed its safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics in patients with Type 2 Diabetes, while a Phase 2 study compared its safety and efficacy against placebo and dulaglutide. Additionally, a Phase 1a study evaluated its safety and tolerability in healthy participants. These studies indicate that Orforglipron has been tested for safety in both diabetic and healthy individuals.12456

Is the drug Orforglipron a promising treatment for Type 2 Diabetes?

Yes, Orforglipron is a promising drug for Type 2 Diabetes. It is an oral medication that helps control blood sugar levels by mimicking a natural hormone in the body. It has shown positive results in clinical trials, helping people with Type 2 Diabetes manage their condition effectively.12357

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for adults with Type 2 Diabetes who haven't been able to control their blood sugar levels using insulin glargine, possibly alongside metformin or SGLT-2 inhibitors. They should have had a stable dose of insulin and body weight for the past 90 days and an HbA1c level between 7.0% to 10.5%. People with a history of pancreatitis, liver diseases other than fatty liver, severe heart failure, or recent major cardiovascular events cannot participate.

Inclusion Criteria

I have been on a stable dose of insulin glargine U-100 for over 90 days.
Your HbA1c levels are between 7.0% and 10.5%.
I have been on a stable dose of insulin glargine U-100 for at least 90 days.
