About this study

Official title: A Drug-Drug Interaction Study to Assess the Effect of Orforglipron on the Pharmacokinetics of Digoxin, Simvastatin, Rosuvastatin, Acetaminophen, and Midazolam in Healthy Overweight and Obese Participants

The main purpose of this study is to determine effect of orforglipron capsule formulation on the amount of digoxin, rosuvastatin, acetaminophen, midazolam, and simvastatin (each given alone and together with orforglipron) that enters the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to eliminate them when administered orally in healthy overweight and obese participants. In addition, the effect of the orforglipron tablet on the amount of simvastatin that enters the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to eliminate it will be evaluated.

The study will also assess the effect of sodium bicarbonate when administered alone with simvastatin versus orforglipron capsule containing sodium bicarbonate administered with simvastatin. The safety and tolerability of orforglipron and information about any side effects experienced will be collected.

Study will be conducted in two parts, with part 1 and 2 lasting up to approximately 23 and 24 weeks each, including the screening period.

Orforglipron, Simvastatin, Digoxin, Rosuvastatin, Acetaminophen

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Orforglipron, Simvastatin and Digoxin in people with Healthy and Obese, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 2 sites in United States.

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 5 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 22 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 May 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Pharmacokinetics (PK): Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUC[0-∞]) of Simvastatin and Its Metabolite Simvastatin Acid Following Simultaneous Administration of Orforglipron Capsule Formulation (Cohort 1 and 2) (time frame: Day 1 (For Cohorts 1 and 2): Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours (h) post-dose; Day 98 (Cohort 1) and Day 93 (Cohort 2): Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24h post-dose). The study lists 14 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 May 2026.
