What this trial studies

This Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study compares orforglipron with placebo in adults who have established ASCVD and/or CKD. Participants will be assigned to receive orforglipron or matching placebo and followed for about five years to capture major cardiovascular outcomes such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular death. Key exclusion criteria include type 1 diabetes, a major cardiac event within 60 days before screening, and NYHA Class IV heart failure. The primary analysis will compare the incidence of predefined cardiovascular events between the treatment arms.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or chronic kidney disease who do not have type 1 diabetes, have not had a major cardiac event within the prior 60 days, and do not have NYHA Class IV heart failure.

Not a fit: People with type 1 diabetes, a recent major heart condition (within 60 days), or severe (NYHA Class IV) heart failure are excluded and are unlikely to benefit from participation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If effective, orforglipron could lower the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other major cardiovascular events in people with ASCVD and/or CKD.

How similar studies have performed: Other large trials of GLP-1 receptor agonists and related agents have shown reductions in major cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk, so the approach has precedent though orforglipron's specific outcomes are being tested here.
