Novo Nordisk faces setbacks with mixed phase 3 trial results for obesity drug CagriSema and heart drug ziltivekimab, while dropping Inversago's cannabinoid CB1 receptor program; the company focuses on launching CagriSema in 2027 and seeks bolt-on acquisitions to strengthen its R&D pipeline.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The failures in Novo's cardiovascular and obesity drug trials raise the urgency to secure external innovation through acquisitions; you in biotech should watch for new assets to fill pipeline gaps accelerating your market opportunities.
