Head-to-head evidence
dulaglutide vs orforglipron
Same mechanism, same race: design-graded trial evidence for both assets, with the grading rationale shown. Grades describe the quality of the evidence, never the merits of either security.

NCT01394952 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 9,901 participants. The hard clinical primary endpoint was met: 594 dulaglutide participants versus 663 placebo participants experienced a composite cardiovascular event, with a hazard ratio of 0.88 (p=0.026).
Next expected readout: April 2027 · NCT07537088 (registry estimate)
orforglipron · Foundayo
Marketed by Eli Lilly
NCT05803421 · Phase 3 · completed
The study is randomized and active-controlled with a large sample of 2,749 participants, but it is open-label rather than blinded. Its primary endpoint is a hard clinical cardiovascular outcome; however, the comparison cannot be judged because no results are currently available.
Next expected readout: May 2027 · NCT07613307 (registry estimate)
