Last year, Novo replaced its CEO and was forced to issue multiple profit warnings as it fell further behind Eli Lilly in this really competitive and booming obesity drug market, which analysts expect to be worth more than $100 billion by 2030. This year, Novo has actually sort of landed a counterpunch with its oral Wegovy pill. It was able to launch that drug ahead of Eli Lilly. Lilly has, in April, launched its own pill, a weight-loss pill.

That trial — completed in 2024 — compared patients on 10 mg or 15 mg of Lilly's Zepbound to patients on 1.7 mg or 2.4 mg doses of Wegovy. The FDA approved a 7.2 mg dose of Wegovy in March of this year.</p></body>
