SELECT Lives Up to the Hype; Full SELECT Results at AHA 2023
Here is a brief preview of this blast: 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). Recall, SELECT was filed with US and EU regulators in September and October 2023, respectively, and FDA has granted priority review with a PDUFA date projected in March 2024 (previous FENIX insight). Below, FENIX provides thoughts on the SELECT results, including potential readthrough to Lilly and other manufacturers looking to enter the obesity market.
