Healthcare & BiotechProduct LaunchesAntitrust & CompetitionRegulation & Legislation

Novo Nordisk reported that oral Wegovy showed "significantly greater mean weight loss" than Lilly's rival oral GLP-1, Foundayo, which was approved this week. The comparison was based on evaluations of previously published studies and did not include any new patient-level data or fresh trial results. The claim reinforces Novo's competitive positioning in the oral obesity/GLP-1 market, but without new data is unlikely to change regulatory status or materially move markets.
