  • Are of stable weight (± 5%) for at least 90 days prior to screening
  • Have a BMI ≥25 kilograms per meter squared (kg/m2) at screening

Exclusion criteria

  • Have type 1 diabetes mellitus
  • Have had chronic or acute pancreatitis any time prior to screening
  • Currently receiving or planning to receive treatment for diabetic retinopathy and/or macular edema (e.g. laster photocoagulation or intravitreal injections of anty-VEGF inhibitors
  • Have a known clinically significant gastric emptying abnormality
  • Have acute or chronic hepatitis, signs and symptoms of any other liver disease, or blood alanine transaminase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) enzyme level ≥5.0 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) for the reference range, as determined by the central laboratory
  • Have had any of the following within 60 days prior to screening: acute myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident (stroke), or hospitalization for congestive heart failure
  • Have an eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m2 as determined at screening
  • Have a family (first-degree relative) or personal history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2
  • Have been taking any other diabetes medicines other than metformin, SGLT-2 inhibitors, and/or sulfonylureas during the last 90 days
  • Have used any weight loss drugs, including herbal or nutritional supplements, within 90 days of screening

Primary outcomes

  1. Time to First Occurrence of Any Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event (MACE-4) [Myocardial Infarction (MI), Stroke, Hospitalization for Unstable Angina, or Cardiovascular (CV) Death]

    Time frame: Baseline to End of the Study (Approximate Maximum 104 Weeks)

    Time to First Occurrence of Any MACE-4 (Myocardial Infarction (MI), Stroke, Hospitalization for Unstable Angina, or Cardiovascular [CV] Death)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to First Occurrence of Any MACE-3 Event (MI, Stroke, or CV death)

    Time frame: Baseline to End of the Study (Approximately 104 Weeks)

    Time to First Occurrence of Any MACE-3 Event (MI, Stroke, or CV death)

  2. Change from Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 52

    Change from Baseline in HbA1c

  3. Change from Baseline in Fasting Serum Glucose

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 52

    Change from Baseline in Fasting Serum Glucose

  4. Change from Baseline in Daily Average 7-point Self-monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG) Profile

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 52

    Change from Baseline in Daily Average 7-point SMBG

  5. Percentage of Participants with HbA1c Target Values Less Than (<)7.0% (53 mmol/mol)

    Time frame: Week 52

    Percentage of Participants with HbA1c Target Values <7.0% (53 mmol/mol)

  6. Change from Baseline in Body Weight

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 52

    Change from Baseline in Body Weight

  7. Percent Change from Baseline Body Weight

    Time frame: Week 52

    Percent Change from Baseline Body Weight

  8. Change from Baseline in Short Form 36 Version 2 (SF-36v2) Acute Form Domain Score

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 52

    The SF-36v2 acute form is a 36-item generic, participant completed measure designed to assess 8 domains: physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. Scores of each domain are measured by T-scores, with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10; higher scores indicate better levels of function and/or better health.

  9. Pharmacokinetics (PK): Plasma Serum Concentrations of Orforglipron

    Time frame: Baseline through Week 52

    PK will be estimated based on the population PK model.
