What this trial means for you
This study is recruiting now at 14 US sites. It's studying Orforglipron, Placebo for obesity, overweight.
What participants typically get: study medication (or placebo, if the trial uses one) and study-related medical care at no cost, plus close monitoring. Compensation for time and travel varies by study — ask the site. Note that in many trials you can't choose your treatment group, and some participants receive a placebo.
The study, in the sponsor's words
The main purpose of this study, performed under Master Protocol J4M-MC-PWMP (NCT06672549), is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of orforglipron once daily oral versus Placebo in adolescent participants with obesity, or overweight with related comorbidities. Participation in the study will last about 18 months. Participants who have completed the primary PW01 study (including the 4-week safety follow-up period) will have the opportunity to receive an additional 156 weeks of treatment with orforglipron as well as continuing the lifestyle intervention.
