Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of orforglipron, taken once daily, in people who are overweight or have obesity and also suffer from knee osteoarthritis with pain. This phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aims to understand how well orforglipron works over about 74 weeks. The study is part of a larger master protocol supporting two independent studies focused on this condition and population. Participants will receive either orforglipron or a placebo, both administered orally. The study compares these two groups in a parallel-arm design to assess treatment effects. The trial includes a long treatment and observation period lasting about 74 weeks to monitor changes and safety outcomes. Throughout the study, participants will be assessed for changes in their knee pain using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain Subscale, measured at the start and at week 72. Researchers will also monitor the participants' safety and overall health during the trial. The participation duration is approximately 74 weeks, including screening, treatment, and follow-up visits.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Eloralintide (LY3841136) in adults who have osteoarthritis knee pain and are either obese or overweight. Conducted under a master protocol supporting two independent studies, the trial focuses on participants with a body mass index of 27 or higher who experience knee osteoarthritis symptoms such as pain and stiffness. The study is a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to provide clear evidence on this treatment's impact. Participants will receive either Eloralintide or a placebo, both administered by subcutaneous injection once weekly. The study includes a screening phase followed by about 75 weeks of participation. The treatments aim to assess changes in body weight and knee pain severity. The study excludes participants with recent surgeries for obesity, diabetes, active knee infections, recent serious heart events, or recent use of weight loss medications. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for changes in body weight and knee pain using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain Subscale. Researchers will track safety and effectiveness through scheduled visits and assessments over the approximately 75-week period. The trial will help determine if Eloralintide provides benefits in managing osteoarthritis knee pain alongside obesity or overweight conditions.
