Researchers are evaluating the drug orforglipron in people who have obesity or are overweight and also suffer from osteoarthritis OA of the knee with pain. This study aims to assess how well and safely orforglipron works for this group of participants. The trial is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company. Participation in the study will last about 74 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive orforglipron or a placebo orally. The study includes two independent groups under a master protocol, each comparing orforglipron to placebo. Treatment is given once daily, and the study design is parallel-arm, meaning participants remain in their assigned group throughout the trial. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including pain evaluation using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index WOMAC pain subscale, physical function tests, body weight measurement, health surveys, walking tests, and blood tests for inflammation markers and cholesterol. Safety and drug levels will also be monitored. These evaluations occur from the beginning of the study through week 72, with participant involvement spanning about 74 weeks total.

Researchers are investigating how well and safely Eloralintide LY3841136 works in adults who are overweight or obese and suffer from osteoarthritis pain in the knee. This study supports two independent phase 3 trials under a master protocol, focusing on improving knee osteoarthritis symptoms and body weight management in this population. Participants will receive either Eloralintide or a placebo by subcutaneous injection once weekly. The study follows a randomized, double-blind, parallel design with two separate arms for each independent study. Treatment and observation will last approximately 75 weeks, including the screening period. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including measurements of body weight, knee pain using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index WOMAC pain subscale, blood pressure, physical function, inflammation markers, and metabolic parameters. Researchers will also track medication use, walk test performance, and other health-related quality of life measures over time to evaluate the effects and safety of Eloralintide.
