The FDA has approved Efsitora (Onswik), a once-weekly basal insulin for adults with type 2 diabetes, marking it as the second weekly insulin option after insulin icodec. Clinical trials showed it to be as effective and safe as daily basal insulins while significantly reducing injection frequency.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech, and 5 sources have reported it between 24 Sep 2026 and 26 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new standard in diabetes care with insulin dosing cut from daily to weekly. If you develop diabetes treatments, update your strategies to compete with Eli Lilly's easier-to-use weekly insulin.
