Study of orforglipron in people with high blood pressure who are overweight or have obesity

3 1

What is this study about?

This clinical trial focuses on evaluating a new medication called Orforglipron (also known as LY3502970) for people who have both hypertension (high blood pressure) and are either overweight or have obesity. The study aims to determine how safe and effective this oral medication is in treating high blood pressure in these individuals.

The research involves testing Orforglipron against a placebo in a carefully controlled study. Participants will take the medication or placebo as capsules once daily. The study will monitor changes in blood pressure, particularly focusing on measuring systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure reading) over a period of 36 weeks.

The study is designed as two separate but related trials under one master protocol. Both trials will look at how well Orforglipron works in controlling blood pressure in people who are overweight or have obesity. Throughout the study period, which may last up to 60 months, participants will have their blood pressure and other health measurements regularly monitored.

1 Initial assessment

Your blood pressure will be measured to confirm if it meets the required levels: systolic blood pressure of 140 or higher and/or diastolic blood pressure of 90 or higher

Your body mass index (BMI) will be checked to confirm it is 25 or higher

Your current blood pressure medication status will be reviewed – you may either be not taking any medications or using stable blood pressure medications for at least 30 days

2 Treatment period start

You will be randomly assigned to receive either orforglipron capsules or placebo capsules

The capsules need to be taken once daily by mouth

Neither you nor your doctor will know which treatment you are receiving

3 Treatment duration

The treatment period will last for 36 weeks

Your blood pressure will be regularly measured throughout the study to track changes

The main focus will be on changes in your office systolic blood pressure from the start to week 36

4 Study completion

The study is expected to run until May 31, 2027

Your participation will help evaluate how the medication affects blood pressure in people with excess weight or obesity

Trial locations

Orforglipron is a medication being studied for treating high blood pressure (hypertension) in people who are obese or overweight. It is taken once daily by mouth. This medication belongs to a new class of drugs that may help control blood pressure while also potentially supporting weight management. The drug is still being investigated to understand how well it works and its safety profile.

Hypertension – A chronic cardiovascular condition characterized by persistently elevated blood pressure in the arteries. Blood pressure is considered high when it consistently measures above 130/80 mmHg. The condition develops gradually over time as the force of blood against artery walls becomes too high. Hypertension can affect various organs in the body, particularly the heart, blood vessels, and kidneys. The condition often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. As blood pressure rises, it can cause changes in blood vessels and organs over time.
