New daily pill aims to tame type 2 diabetes safely over the long haul
NCT ID NCT06010004
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests the long-term safety of an experimental oral drug called orforglipron in adults with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar is not well controlled by diet, exercise, or other diabetes pills. Participants take the drug once daily for about a year, and researchers monitor for side effects and changes in blood sugar levels. The goal is to see if orforglipron can be a safe, long-term treatment option.
