Change from Baseline in Short Form 36 Version 2 (SF-36v2) Acute Form Domain Score
The SF-36v2 acute form is a 36-item generic, participant completed measure designed to assess 8 domains: physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. Scores of each domain are measured by T-scores, with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10; higher scores indicate better levels of function and/or better health.
Measured: Baseline, Week 52
Pharmacokinetics (PK): Plasma Serum Concentrations of Orforglipron
PK will be estimated based on the population PK model.
Measured: Baseline through Week 52

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Orforglipron and Insulin Glargine in people with Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 358 sites in 16 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 358 sites in United States, Czechia, Romania, Brazil, Argentina and 11 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Time to First Occurrence of Any Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event (MACE-4) [Myocardial Infarction (MI), Stroke, Hospitalization for Unstable Angina, or Cardiovascular (CV) Death] (time frame: Baseline to End of the Study (Approximate Maximum 104 Weeks)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05803421, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Apr 2026.
