Eli Lilly

The FDA approved Foundayo (orforglipron), a once-daily oral GLP-1 receptor agonist from Eli Lilly, for adults with obesity or overweight. It is the first new molecular entity approved under the National Priority Voucher program and the fastest NME approval since 2002.

The FDA has delayed its decision on Eli Lilly's oral obesity pill orforglipron from March 28 to April 10, alongside delays for three other drugs in the new expedited review program.

Petrelintide met its primary endpoint with placebo-like tolerability, but a dose ceiling and a seven-point efficacy gap to Lilly's eloralintide raise questions about its standalone future.
