Eli Lilly's next-generation obesity drug, retatrutide, achieved significant weight loss in a late-stage trial, with patients losing up to 28.3% of their body weight over 80 weeks. The drug, which targets three gut hormones, outperformed existing treatments and showed promise for patients with high BMI at risk of cardiovascular issues. Side effects were mostly gastrointestinal but manageable, and a lower dose showed good tolerability. Lilly plans to seek approval soon, aiming to strengthen its position in the growing obesity and diabetes drug market against competitors like Novo Nordisk.
