Novo Nordisk announced positive full results from the SELECT CVOT (view CT.gov record) demonstrating a -20% RRR in 3P-MACE for non-T2DM people with established CVD who were treated with QW 2.4mg semaglutide (Wegovy). The full results were presented at AHA 2023 and simultaneously published in the NEJM (view publication).

Below, FENIX provides thoughts on the SELECT results, including potential readthrough to Lilly and other manufacturers looking to enter the obesity market.
