Orforglipron for maintenance of body weight reduction: the double-blind, randomized phase 3b ATTAIN-MAINTAIN trial.

Nature medicine·May 13, 2026·PMID 42120723

Why it matters

Orforglipron is a once-daily oral nonpeptide GLP-1 agonist, offering a potentially more convenient and scalable alternative to injectable therapies for long-term weight maintenance. This trial provides evidence that transitioning from injectable to oral therapy can sustain meaningful weight loss, which may improve adherence and access.
