Weight loss drugs are having a moment
in 2022 to approve the drug as an obesity therapy and the agency is expected to make a decision by the end of the year.At this year’s meeting, Lilly presented results from another, similar study that focused on weight loss but this time among people with diabetes, a group for whom losing weight is more difficult.
In the latest study, researchers found that Mounjaro can contribute to up to 15.7% weight reduction among diabetes patients, far more than previous anti-obesity therapies have produced. “That 15% weight reduction threshold is clinically important because we know that weight reduction of that magnitude is generally associated with greater improvement in obesity-related complications,” says Ahmad.
As effective as Mounjaro may be, for some patients it may not be a practical option since it requires a weekly self-injection. Injectable drugs are also generally more expensive compared to pills or tablets, since they need to be dispensed in a sterile device. That’s why Lilly, along with other pharma companies, is also exploring oral forms, such as orforglipron, of these powerful weight loss drugs.
