Lilly's Foundayo Phase 3 Diabetes Trial Shows 57% Lower All-Cause Death, FDA Submission Planned
Summary
Eli Lilly announced positive results from its longest Phase 3 study (Achieve-4) of Foundayo for Type 2 Diabetes, affirming its cardiovascular and overall safety profile. The trial demonstrated consistent improvements in cardiometabolic health and, notably, a 57% lower risk of all-cause death for Foundayo versus insulin glargine in a pre-planned analysis. This follows recent FDA approval and launch of Foundayo for obesity, indicating a significant expansion of the drug's potential market. The strong safety and efficacy data, particularly the substantial reduction in all-cause mortality, positions Foundayo as a highly competitive treatment for Type 2 Diabetes. Lilly plans to submit Foundayo for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes to the U.S. FDA by the end of the second quarter, which could substantially increase the drug's peak sales potential.
