Thoughts on SURMOUNT-MMO after SELECT Interim Analysis
Here is a brief preview of this blast: At its Q2 '22 earnings in August, Novo Nordisk disclosed that SELECT, the Wegovy CVOT, would not stop for overwhelming efficacy at a pre-specified interim analysis (previous FENIX insight). With all the hype now passed, the trial design lens turns to Lilly's tirzepatide obesity CVOT, SURMOUNT-MMO. Below, FENIX provides thoughts on SURMOUNT-MMO, including Lilly’s potential strategy to get a broad metabolic indication, similar to what BI/Lilly did in HF with Jardiance by eliminating LVEF label language.
