New daily pill could help millions lose weight and control diabetes

NCT ID NCT06972472

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 3 trial is testing a once-daily pill called orforglipron in 600 adults who are overweight or have obesity and also have type 2 diabetes. The study compares the drug to a placebo to see if it helps lower blood sugar and body weight over about 18 months. Participants must have a BMI of 25 or higher and have tried to lose weight before without lasting success.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
orforglipron (a daily pill)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a new once-daily pill that helps people with obesity and type 2 diabetes lose weight and better control their blood sugar.
What could go wrong
This is still a Phase 3 trial, so results are not yet confirmed. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are possible. It is not a cure—ongoing management of diabetes and weight is still needed.
