New daily pill aims to beat standard diabetes drug in blood sugar battle
NCT ID NCT06192108
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new once-daily pill called orforglipron against an existing drug, dapagliflozin, in adults with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar was not well controlled with metformin alone. About 962 participants took either orforglipron or dapagliflozin for roughly 46 weeks. The main goal was to see which pill better lowered blood sugar levels (HbA1c) and helped with weight loss.
