Eli Lilly & Co. has reported that its weight-loss drug Zepbound, also known as tirzepatide, outperformed Novo Nordisk A/S's Wegovy, or semaglutide, in a Phase 3B head-to-head clinical trial. The trial showed that Zepbound led to an average weight loss of 20.2% over 72 weeks, compared to 13.7% for Wegovy. Participants using Zepbound lost 50.3 lbs (22.8 kg), while those on Wegovy lost 33.1 lbs (15.0 kg). This 47% greater relative weight reduction has been highlighted by Eli Lilly as a significant achievement in the treatment of obesity. The results have led to a rise in Eli Lilly's stock price, reflecting investor confidence in the drug's potential.
