In the same week that Pfizer decided to discontinue the development of danuglipron, an oral, small-molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist aimed at chronic weight management ➡️ Lilly report a successful Phase 3 trial with Orforglipron, lowering A1C and body weight😃
🚨BREAKING: Lilly’s oral GLP-1, orforglipron, hits its primary endpoint in the Phase 3 ACHIEVE-1 trial for type 2 diabetes.
🔸A1C↓ by 1.3–1.6%
🔸Weight loss: up to 16 lbs (7.9%)
🔸65% hit A1C ≤6.5%
Once-daily, oral small molecule GLP-1—no food/water restrictions
Safety profile: consistent with injectable GLP-1s
✨ The first oral small molecule GLP-1 to complete Phase 3—game on.
