New daily pill aims to improve blood sugar in type 2 diabetes
NCT ID NCT06109311
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a once-daily pill called orforglipron in 546 adults with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar was not well controlled despite using insulin (with or without other diabetes medications). The goal was to see if adding orforglipron could safely lower blood sugar levels better than a placebo. The study lasted about 46 weeks and measured changes in HbA1c, a key marker of long-term blood sugar control.
