Phase 3 Trial Evaluating Oral Orforglipron for Long-Term Weight Management in Children and Teens With Obesity or Overweight

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are conducting a Phase 3 pediatric study to create a framework for evaluating the safety and effectiveness of drugs for managing obesity or overweight conditions in children and teens. The study focuses on participants who have struggled to lose weight despite structured diet and exercise programs. The goal is to assess treatments for long-term weight management in this young population. Participants will receive either the study drug Orforglipron or a placebo orally. The interventions will be detailed in specific substudies, called ISAs, which may start independently as new treatments become available. Results from all ISAs will be reported once all are completed, providing insights into the treatments effects on pediatric obesity or overweight. During the study, participants will be evaluated from baseline to week 72, with the primary outcome measuring the number of participants assigned to each ISA. Participants will undergo assessments including body mass index evaluations based on age- and gender-specific growth charts, and monitoring for weight-related health conditions. Safety and efficacy data will be collected throughout the study duration, which extends to March 2027.
