Lilly Dual Agonist Ph3 Analysis; EASD Investor Presentation
Here is a brief preview of this blast: Following Lilly’s Ph2b data presentation for its GIP/GLP-1RA dual agonist (LY3298176), the company hosted an analyst call (slides here) to discuss the data. Of note, Lilly outlined its Ph3 development program called “SURPASS” (pictured below) which includes a H2H study vs. semaglutide. Lilly is planning to initiate Ph3 in late 2018 or early 2019 and is projecting global submissions in 2022. Additionally, Lilly disclosed that it will bring the 5, 10, and 15mg doses into Ph3 and will use an auto-injector device. Earlier today, FENIX outlined the LY Ph2b results and provided the potential impact to Novo Nordisk and Sanofi. Below, FENIX conducted a comparative analysis on contemporary Ph3 GLP-1RA pivotal programs, potential rationales behind Lilly’s Ph3 study choices, and how the LY dual agonist is a pipeline-in-a-product similar to Novo’s semaglutide.
