52-OR: Effect of Oral Nonpeptide GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Orforglipron (LY3502970) in Participants with Obesity or Overweight—A Phase 2 Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Orforglipron (OFG) is a novel once daily oral non-peptide GLP-1 receptor agonist (RA) which can be taken with or without food, in development for chronic weight management. The objective of this Phase 2 study was to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of OFG in patients with obesity or overweight with ≥1 weight-related comorbidity. Participants (N=272) were randomized to placebo or OFG (12, 24, 36, or 45 mg) treatment. OFG doses were increased to target using different dose escalation schemes in each arm. The primary endpoint was to compare percent body weight (BW) change from baseline in OFG vs placebo at Week 26, while the study continued to 36 weeks. Secondary endpoints included change from baseline in waist circumference (WC) and BMI, and the percentage of participants achieving ≥5 or ≥10% weight loss. At baseline, mean BW was 108.7 kg, BMI was 37.9 kg/m2, and 94% of participants had a BMI ≥30 kg/m2. Mean percentage BW loss, mean change in BMI and WC, and the percentage of participants achieving ≥5% or ≥10% weight loss were significantly greater with all OFG doses vs placebo (Figure). The AE profile was similar to other GLP-1 RAs; most were GI-related and mild to moderate in severity. The novel non-peptide GLP-1 RA OFG led to greater reductions in BW, BMI, and WC compared with placebo. These promising data support continued development of OFG as an oral treatment for obesity.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
