New daily pill could help control blood pressure in overweight individuals
NCT ID NCT06948422
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 3 trial is testing a once-daily pill called orforglipron in nearly 1,000 people with high blood pressure who are also overweight or have obesity. The study compares the drug to a placebo to see if it safely lowers blood pressure. Participants may be untreated or on stable blood pressure medications.
