Eli Lilly said its investigational oral GLP-1 weight-loss drug, orforglipron, met its primary endpoints in two recent phase 3 trials.

The medicine company said Wednesday the drug met the primary and all key secondary endpoints, delivering significant weight loss and improvements in multiple cardiovascular risk factors.

One trial evaluated orforglipron against dapagliflozin, an existing medication sold under the brand names Farxiga and Forxiga, in adults with type 2 diabetes. Separately, another trial assessed orforglipron versus placebo in adults with type 2 diabetes.

"Orforglipron has now demonstrated superiority over two active comparators in clinical trials for type 2 diabetes," said Jeff Emmick, senior vice president of product development for Lilly Cardiometabolic Health.

He added that results from the recent trials "reinforce orforglipron's potential to become a new standard of care for people living with type 2 diabetes."

Lilly said it plans to submit orforglipron for the treatment of type 2 diabetes to global regulatory agencies in 2026, while submission for the treatment of obesity is on track to occur by the end of this year.
