ADA amylin monotherapy highlights Zealand, Novo, Lilly

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) conference was held 20-23 June, 2025 and contained a number of highly anticipated updates in the obesity pipeline. We summarise the key amylin monotherapy datasets in this note including data from Zealand from petrelintide's phase 1b showing higher weight loss in females, Lilly's eloralintide full presentation, which shows that the higher doses which showed competitive weight loss and generated excitement following the abstract release also come with heada...

By targeting GLP-2 on top of GLP-1, dapiglutide aims to address low grade inflammation on top of weight loss. As such, we b...
