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.

Change in Impact of Weight on Quality of Life (IWQOL)-Kids Total and Domain Scores
The IWQOL-Kids is a validated, 27-item, patient reported outcomes instrument that assesses weight-related quality of life for youth aged 11 to 19 years in 4 domains:
- physical comfort (6 items)
- body esteem (9 items)
- social life (6 items), and
- family relations (6 items). It has a recall period of "the past 7 days." All items are rated on a 5-point truth scale ("always true" to "never true"). The 4-domain scores and total score range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Orforglipron in people with Obesity and Overweight, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 34 sites in 6 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 10 inclusion and 13 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 34 sites in United States, Japan, Poland, Israel, Italy and 1 more country. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Trial questions or participation questions: 1-877-CTLILLY (1-877-285-4559) or (1-317-615-4559, LillyTrials@Lilly.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Percent Change from Baseline in Body Mass Index (BMI) (time frame: Baseline, Week 72). 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 4 Nov 2026.
