Lilly's oral GLP-1 Foundayo (orforglipron) delivered superior A1C control and weight loss in three pivotal type 2 diabetes trials

In ACHIEVE-3, Foundayo 17.2 mg drove 57.1% greater relative reduction in A1C and 73.6% greater relative weight loss compared to oral semaglutide 14 mg

In ACHIEVE-2 and ACHIEVE-5, Foundayo delivered significant improvements in blood sugar and weight, with up to 68.6% and 69.1% of participants reaching an A1C goal of ≤6.5% respectively

Lilly plans to submit Foundayo for type 2 diabetes to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by the end of the second quarter

INDIANAPOLIS, June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY), the maker of Zepbound (tirzepatide), today announced detailed results from three Phase 3 trials in the ACHIEVE program evaluating Foundayo (orforglipron), a small molecule oral GLP-1 taken without food or water restrictions, in adults with type 2 diabetes. In the landmark head-to-head ACHIEVE-3 trial, Foundayo outperformed oral semaglutide across the primary and all key secondary endpoints. In ACHIEVE-2 and ACHIEVE-5, Foundayo met the primary endpoint and key secondary endpoints, delivering superior A1C reduction and weight loss versus dapagliflozin and placebo added to insulin glargine respectively.^1,2 Results from ACHIEVE-3, ACHIEVE-2 and ACHIEVE-5 were presented at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 86th Scientific Sessions. ACHIEVE-3 was previously published in The Lancet, while ACHIEVE-2 and ACHIEVE-5 were published in The Lancet and JAMA, respectively.

"ACHIEVE-3 provides the first head-to-head data on oral GLP-1s in type 2 diabetes, with orforglipron showing greater A1C and weight reductions than oral semaglutide, which was tested at approved diabetes doses," said Dr. Julio Rosenstock, clinical professor of medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and ACHIEVE-3 lead investigator. "That level of efficacy is reinforced in ACHIEVE-2 and ACHIEVE-5, demonstrating a consistent and robust treatment effect across a wide spectrum of patient populations. These results support a potential shift toward using oral GLP-1 receptor agonist therapies like orforglipron earlier as a foundation of type 2 diabetes care."

In ACHIEVE-3, Foundayo 9 mg and 17.2 mg outperformed oral semaglutide 7 mg and 14 mg in the first and only head-to-head Phase 3 trial of two oral GLP-1 receptor agonists for type 2 diabetes.³ Foundayo lowered A1C by an average of 1.9% (9 mg) and 2.2% (17.2 mg) compared to 1.1% (7 mg) and 1.4% (14 mg) with oral semaglutide at 52 weeks, a 57.1% greater relative reduction at the highest dose comparison. More patients taking the highest dose of Foundayo achieved an A1C <5.7% (37.1% vs 12.5%), the threshold for normal blood sugar levels. Foundayo also delivered greater weight loss, with patients losing an average of 14.6 lbs (6.7%; 9 mg) and 19.7 lbs (9.2%; 17.2 mg) compared to 7.9 lbs (3.7%; 7 mg) and 11.0 lbs (5.3%; 14 mg) with oral semaglutide, a 73.6% greater relative weight loss at the highest dose comparison.

^ivBody weight for Foundayo 9 mg vs. oral semaglutide 14 mg and percentage of participants achieving A1C <5.7% were not controlled for family-wise type 1 error.

In ACHIEVE-2, Foundayo delivered superior results, lowering A1C by up to an average of 1.7% compared to 0.8% with dapagliflozin at 40 weeks from an average baseline of 8.1%. Up to 68.6% of patients taking the highest dose of Foundayo achieved an A1C ≤6.5%, the level recommended for more intensive blood sugar control, compared to 21.6% with dapagliflozin. Participants taking Foundayo lost an average of 7.1 lbs (3.5%; 2.5 mg), 12.8 lbs (6.3%; 9 mg), and 15.0 lbs (7.3%; 17.2 mg) versus 6.0 lbs (3.0%) with dapagliflozin.

In ACHIEVE-5, Foundayo demonstrated significant improvements compared to placebo added to titrated insulin glargine. Foundayo lowered A1C by up to an average of 2.1% compared to 0.8% with placebo at 40 weeks from an average baseline of 8.5%. Up to 69.1% of patients taking Foundayo 9 mg achieved an A1C ≤6.5% compared to 11.1% with placebo. Participants taking Foundayo lost an average of 4.9 lbs (2.7%; 2.5 mg), 11.0 lbs (5.8%; 9 mg), and 11.5 lbs (6.1%; 17.2 mg) compared to a 1.1 lb (0.6%) gain with placebo.

"When we look across the ACHIEVE program, Foundayo consistently demonstrated superior A1C control and weight loss, giving us real confidence in what it could deliver for patients," said Thomas Seck, M.D., senior vice president of product development, Lilly Cardiometabolic Health. "ACHIEVE-3 marks the first time two oral GLP-1 therapies have been tested head-to-head in a Phase 3 study, and Foundayo clearly outperformed oral semaglutide on the outcomes that matter most to patients with type 2 diabetes. For the millions of people with type 2 diabetes who want an oral treatment they can take any time of day, Foundayo has the potential to be an attractive first-line therapy option in primary care."

Across all three trials, Foundayo showed clinically meaningful improvements from baseline across key cardiovascular risk factors, including non-HDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure and triglycerides.

The overall safety and tolerability profile of Foundayo, including treatment discontinuation rates, was consistent with previous studies. Across the three trials, the most common adverse events were gastrointestinal, including nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, dyspepsia and decreased appetite. Treatment discontinuation rates due to adverse events were 8.7% and 9.7% with Foundayo 9 mg and 17.2 mg vs. 4.5% and 4.9% with oral semaglutide in ACHIEVE-3; 9.2%, 10.8%, and 12.4% with 2.5 mg, 9 mg, and 17.2 mg vs. 1.2% with dapagliflozin in ACHIEVE-2; and 3.6%, 7.6%, and 9.6% with 2.5 mg, 9 mg, and 17.2 mg vs. 3.6% with placebo in ACHIEVE-5. Based on these findings, as well as those from ACHIEVE-1 and ACHIEVE-4, Lilly plans to submit Foundayo for the treatment of type 2 diabetes to the U.S. FDA by the end of the second quarter under the Commissioner's National Priority Review Voucher.

About Foundayo
Foundayo (orforglipron) is FDA-approved for adults with obesity, or some adults with overweight who also have weight-related medical problems to reduce excess body weight and maintain weight reduction long term, alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Foundayo is a once-daily small molecule (non-peptide) oral glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist that can be taken any time of the day without restrictions on food and water intake. Orforglipron was discovered by Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and licensed by Lilly in 2018. In addition to chronic weight management, orforglipron is being studied as a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, osteoarthritis knee pain, hypertension, peripheral artery disease and stress urinary incontinence.

About ACHIEVE-2, ACHIEVE-3, ACHIEVE-5 and the ACHIEVE clinical trial program
ACHIEVE-2 (NCT06192108) is a Phase 3, 40-week, randomized, active-controlled, open-label study comparing the efficacy and safety of Foundayo 2.5 mg, 9 mg and 17.2 mg to dapagliflozin 10 mg in participants with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control with metformin. The study randomized 962 participants in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive either Foundayo 2.5 mg, 9 mg or 17.2 mg, or dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily, in addition to background metformin therapy. The objective of the study was to demonstrate that Foundayo is non-inferior in A1C reduction from baseline after 40 weeks, compared to dapagliflozin.

ACHIEVE-3 (NCT06045221) is a Phase 3, 52-week, randomized, open-label trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of Foundayo compared with oral semaglutide in adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin. The trial randomized 1,698 participants across the U.S., Argentina, China, Japan, Mexico and Puerto Rico to receive either 9 mg or 17.2 mg Foundayo or 7 mg or 14 mg oral semaglutide in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. The primary objective of the study was to demonstrate that Foundayo is non-inferior in A1C reduction from baseline after 52 weeks compared with oral semaglutide when comparing the lower and higher doses.

ACHIEVE-5 (NCT06109311) is a Phase 3, 40-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessing the efficacy and safety of Foundayo 2.5 mg, 9 mg and 17.2 mg in participants with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control with insulin glargine, with or without metformin and/or SGLT-2 inhibitors. The study randomized 546 participants in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive either Foundayo 2.5 mg, 9 mg or 17.2 mg, or placebo with background therapy of titrated insulin glargine alone or in combination with metformin and/or SGLT-2 inhibitors. The objective of the study was to demonstrate that Foundayo is superior in A1C reduction from baseline after 40 weeks, compared to placebo. Study participants had an A1C between ≥7.0% and ≤10.5% and a BMI of ≥23 kg/m².

All participants in the Foundayo treatment arms started the study at a dose of Foundayo 0.8 mg once-daily and then increased the dose in a step-wise approach at four-week intervals until reaching their randomized maintenance dose of 2.5 mg (via one step at 0.8 mg), 9 mg (via steps at 0.8 mg, 2.5 mg and 5.5 mg) or 17.2 mg (via steps at 0.8 mg, 2.5 mg, 5.5 mg, 9 mg and 14.5 mg). These trials were conducted using an investigational formulation of Foundayo at dosages equivalent to Foundayo tablets.
