Lilly's Next-gen Tirzepatide for Oral Delivery? New Lilly GIP/GLP Dual Agonist Ph1 Studies
Here is a brief preview of this blast: Two new Ph1 trials for Lilly's LY3493269 GIP/GLP dual agonist have been observed on CT.gov (NCT04515576 and NCT04498390). Interestingly, the two trials are separately evaluating subcutaneous and oral administration of LY3493269. LY3493269 is believed to be a different molecule than tirzepatide (LY3298176) since it has a different LY number. Below, FENIX provides an overview of the studies as well as thoughts on why Lilly may have had to develop a next-gen tirzepatide for oral delivery.
