Lilly hosted an investor event in conjunction with ADA 2026 (view slides). Below, FENIX provides the key takeaways and analysis, including its own internal debate about whether retatrutide’s initial Ph3 data is worthy of an FDA adcom (spoiler alert: it’s not a 0% chance).
With ADA 2026 approaching (June 5-8; New Orleans, LA), FENIX has compiled a shortlist of key sessions and presentations that warrant close attention across the meeting. While ADA brings new data and fresh perspectives across the cardiometabolic space each year, the list below focuses exclusively on the sessions with potential to shape this year’s conference narrative and ultimately, have an outsized impact on the field for years to come.
A series of cardiometabolic-related news items has been observed from Lilly, Viking Therapeutics, Merck, and FDA. Below, FENIX provides highlights and insights for the respective news items.
Two cardiometabolic-related news items have been observed: Lilly shared positive topline data from its Ph3 TRANSCEND-T2D-1 study of retatrutide (view press release), and Novo Nordisk received FDA approval for its 7.2mg Wegovy (view press release). Below, FENIX provides highlights and insights on the respective news items, including a safety/efficacy analysis of how the TRANSCEND results position retatrutide relative to tirzepatide and cagrisema.
