First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a new once-daily oral pill called orforglipron against a weekly injection (dulaglutide) in 170 teens aged 10-18 with type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see if the pill works better at controlling blood sugar and is safe. Participants will be followed for about 61 weeks.
