Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk’s Obesity Moat Just Got Stronger

“A 20% weight loss would have been best-in-class if it came a few years ago, but at this point, Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly have drugs in the pipeline that could meet or exceed 25% weight loss,”

My colleague Max Bayer unpacks one of the drug industry's most-anticipated readouts of 2024 — Amgen's potential obesity drug, MariTide.

Investors had hyped up this candidate's prospects, to the point where Amgen's stock is down 11% this morning, erasing about $14 billion in company value
Amgen's MariTide data are here:
- 20% weight loss at 52 wks for patients obese/overweight
- 17% weight loss at 52 weeks for patients obese/overweight + T2D
- in DE arms (~100 out of 600 ph. 2 patients) GI dropout rate was less than 8%
