Cardiovascular safety of orforglipron versus insulin glargine in adults with type 2 diabetes at increased cardiovascular risk (ACHIEVE-4): a phase 3, event-driven, randomised, open-label, non-inferiority, active comparator trial

Abstract

Orforglipron is an oral, non-peptide GLP-1 receptor agonist. While some peptide GLP-1 receptor agonists have established cardiovascular benefit, the cardiovascular safety of non-peptide GLP-1 receptor agonists has not been studied. This study aimed to compare the effect of orforglipron with insulin glargine on the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events in individuals with type 2 diabetes and obesity or overweight who are at increased risk for cardiovascular events.
