AstraZeneca said its experimental obesity pill helped patients lose 10.5% of body weight after 26 weeks in a mid-stage trial. The result supports the company's push into the fast-growing weight-loss market, where it aims to compete with Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. The data are encouraging for a mid-stage program, though still early versus late-stage commercial validation.
