New phase 2 data for retatrutide and orforglipron showcase promise of Lilly's pipeline and commitment to transform diabetes and obesity care

INDIANAPOLIS, June 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) will present 40 abstracts across its diabetes and obesity portfolio and pipeline at the American Diabetes Association's^® (ADA) 83rd Scientific Sessions in San Diego from June 23 - 26. Lilly will also share data on three investigational medicines for the treatment of obesity or overweight during two ADA-sponsored symposiums and one oral presentation.

"Our data presented at the ADA demonstrate continued efforts to deliver better outcomes for the millions of people living with diabetes, obesity and other chronic diseases," said Jeff Emmick, MD, Ph.D., senior vice president, product development, Lilly. "Our incretin portfolio, the most expansive in the industry, has the potential to transform treatment for chronic diseases."

Key ADA Data Presentations

• SURMOUNT-2: The full results of the phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight and type 2 diabetes, will be presented in an ADA-sponsored symposium. This presentation follows the topline data that Lilly announced on April 27, which showed that tirzepatide led to superior weight reductions versus placebo for all doses. The symposium titled SURMOUNT-2 Trial Results and Potential Role of Tirzepatide in Treating Obesity in Type 2 Diabetes is scheduled on Friday, June 23, from 3:45-5:15 PM PDT and will be livestreamed for virtually registered attendees.
• Orforglipron: An oral presentation on Lilly's phase 2 trial results will highlight the potential for orforglipron, a daily oral GLP-1, in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity, compared to placebo. The oral presentation, Effect of Oral Nonpeptide GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Orforglipron (LY3502970) in Participants with Obesity or Overweight—A Phase 2 Study, is scheduled on Friday, June 23, from 2:15-2:30 PM PDT and will be livestreamed for virtually registered attendees. Lilly will also share phase 2 results of orforglipron in adults with type 2 diabetes in a poster presentation on Sunday, June 25 from 11:30 AM-12:30 PM PDT.
• Retatrutide: The full results of two phase 2 studies evaluating retatrutide, Lilly's GIP/GLP-1/Glucagon Receptor Triagonist, compared to placebo will be presented in an ADA-sponsored symposium. This presentation will discuss the efficacy and safety of retatrutide in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity, as well as in people with type 2 diabetes. The symposium titled, Retatrutide (LY3437943), a Novel GIP/GLP-1/Glucagon Receptor Triagonist—Obesity, NAFLD, and T2D Phase 2 Trial Results, is scheduled on Monday, June 26, from 1:30-3:00 PM PDT and will be livestreamed for virtually registered attendees.  

Key ADA Data Abstracts

The full list of abstracts at the ADA's 83^rd Scientific Sessions is available here.

About orforglipron
Orforglipron is an investigational nonpeptide oral glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist being studied for chronic weight management in people with obesity or overweight, as well as for glucose lowering in people with type 2 diabetes.

Orforglipron was discovered by Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and licensed by Lilly in 2018. Chugai and Lilly published the preclinical pharmacology data of this molecule together (PNAS 2020).

About retatrutide
Retatrutide is an investigational single molecule that activates the body's receptors for three hormones – glucagon, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and is being studied for the treatment of obesity. Retatrutide is an acylated peptide suitable for weekly injection. Preclinical and phase 1 data have been published (Cell Metab 2022; Lancet 2022).

About tirzepatide 
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly GIP receptor and GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide is a single molecule that activates the body's receptors for GIP and GLP-1, which are natural incretin hormones. Both GIP and GLP-1 receptors are found in areas of the human brain important for appetite regulation. Tirzepatide has been shown to decrease food intake and modulate fat utilization. Tirzepatide is in phase 3 development for adults with obesity, or overweight with weight-related comorbidity. It is also being studied as a potential treatment for people with obesity and/or overweight with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Studies of tirzepatide in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and in morbidity/mortality in obesity (MMO) are also ongoing. 

Tirzepatide was approved as Mounjaro^® (tirzepatide) by the FDA on May 13, 2022. Mounjaro is a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
