Introduction and Objective: The efficacy and safety of the daily oral, non-peptide GLP-1RA orforglipron (OFG) were assessed as add-on to insulin glargine with/without metformin and/or SGLT-2 inhibitors in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) (ACHIEVE-5; NCT06109311). Methods: In this 40-week double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study, participants with T2D and inadequate glycemic control were randomized (1:1:1:1) to receive daily OFG (3, 12, or 36 mg) or placebo (PBO). The primary endpoint was change from baseline in HbA1c at week 40 (superiority for 12 and/or 36 mg). Results are presented for the efficacy estimand. Results: 546 participants (age 60.2 years; T2D duration 15.0 years; HbA1c 8.5% 69.4 mmol/mol; BMI 30.8 kg/m2) were randomized. At week 40, all OFG doses were superior to PBO in the primary and all key secondary endpoints (all p 0.001). Mean HbA1c decreased by 1.54 to 2.05% in the OFG groups vs 0.77% with PBO. Bodyweight change ranged from -2.7% to -6.1% with OFG vs 0.6% with PBO. The most frequent adverse events were gastrointestinal and occurred mostly during escalation. Rates of Level 2 hypoglycemia were similar between OFG and PBO. Severe hypoglycemia was reported by 2 participants in the OFG 12 mg group and 1 participant in the OFG 36 mg group. Conclusion: OFG added to titrated basal insulin improved glycemic control and reduced bodyweight without increasing hypoglycemia risk in patients with long-standing T2D. Disclosure F.
