Lilly’s Ph3 ATTAIN-2 Results Set the Stage for Obesity Global Regulatory Filings 

Lilly announced topline results from the Ph3 ATTAIN-2 study evaluating orforglipron (QD oral GLP-1RA) in patients with obesity or overweight with T2DM, demonstrating mean body reductions of up to -10.5% after 72 weeks of treatment (view CT.gov record). Recall, earlier this month, Lilly shared topline results from the Ph3 ATTAIN-1 study, which evaluated orforglipron in non-T2DM participants with overweight or obesity (previous FENIX insight). Of note, Lilly’s stock is up ~5% today following the readout. Below, FENIX provides highlights and insights from the ATTAIN-2 topline results.

Thoughts on MariTide Ph2 Data; Amgen ADA 2025 Investor Event 

Following the Ph2 MariTide (QM/Q2M SC GLP-1RA/GIP antagonist) data readout (previous FENIX insight), Amgen hosted its ADA 2025 investor event (view slides; view webcast) and provided additional context on the results as well as the Ph3 MARITIME program. Management highlighted that the Ph3 MARITIME program will employ a three-step dose escalation scheme, with lower initial starting doses, as an effort to mitigate the tolerability concerns observed during Ph2 development. Below, FENIX provides updates and insights from the call, including thoughts on the benefits/risks of conducting a H2H trial vs. tirzepatide.
