Summary
This Phase 3 trial is testing an oral medication called orforglipron for chronic weight management in children and teens with obesity or overweight. The study will enroll 125 participants who have already tried lifestyle changes without success. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective for helping young people manage their weight.
