Eli Lilly and Company

Science has been our calling from the beginning. Colonel Eli Lilly founded the company in 1876 and charged employees to “take what you find here and make it better and better.” More than 147 years later, we remain committed to his vision through every aspect of our business and the people we serve, starting with discovering the best treatments for those who take our medicines and extending to health care professionals, employees and the communities in which we live. Moreover, you can also count on the team at Lilly to be incredibly civic-minded, supporting our communities through philanthropy, volunteerism, and a creative and innovative can-do spirit.

When you’re on a mission to do what’s never been done before, you seek people willing to challenge the status quo of medicine. Those willing to relentlessly pursue what’s next, all in the name of health above all. #WeAreLilly

NEWS
Just a week after it secured FDA approval, Eli Lilly’s Zepbound now faces a challenge from Novo Nordisk’s investigational next-generation weight-loss candidate CagriSema in a Phase III trial.
Successful drugs from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly are just the beginning of what one analyst says could be “the largest therapeutic class of drugs that the biopharma industry has ever seen.”
The UK-based nanomedicine biotech, previously known as SomaServe, has closed its Series A with some significant biopharma names attached.
At its highest dose level of 608 mg, lepodisiran reduced lipoprotein(a) levels by a median of 94% after 48 weeks.
FDA
The FDA’s approval of Eli Lilly’s obesity drug Zepbound intensifies an already heated battle with Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy in the lucrative weight-loss drug market, as other drugmakers hope to get a piece of the action.
FDA
Lilly’s Zepbound (tirzepatide) injection is the first and only approved treatment that activates two incretin hormone receptors, GIP and GLP-1, to treat obesity and excess weight.
Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy and Eli Lilly’s Mounjaro drove blockbuster sales in the third quarter and the sky’s the limit for the duopoly. The only limiting factor is that the frenzied demand for their respective drugs is outpacing supply.
Sales of type 2 diabetes treatment Mounjaro brought in $1.4 billion in the third quarter. However, the company cut its full-year profit guidance due to charges mainly related to recent acquisitions.
FDA
Following an FDA rejection and a previous discontinuation in psoriasis, Eli Lilly’s anti-IL-23 antibody has finally won an approval in ulcerative colitis, joining a crowded inflammatory bowel disease market.
