The FDA approved Eli Lilly's Mounjaro to reduce cardiovascular risk in adults with type 2 diabetes at high risk, based on a large trial comparing it to an existing treatment. This approval marks a broader push by major drugmakers to extend GLP-1 and similar therapies beyond diabetes and obesity to cardiovascular and other diseases.

◆ The Wire takeaway

This FDA approval shifts your drug's opportunity from weight and diabetes management to cardiovascular risk reduction. You need to pivot your clinical and reimbursement strategy towards cardiologists and insurers expanding coverage on these endpoints.
