  • Novo Nordisk on Monday revealed data from a second late-stage trial of its obesity drug candidate CagriSema, knocking shares and stoking worries that rival Eli Lilly may be gaining an edge over Novo in the weight-loss drugs market.

The article discusses a recent trial of a new obesity drug from Novo Nordisk, which has shown less promising results than anticipated, causing concerns about the company's competitive edge in the obesity treatment market. The drug, aimed at reducing weight through a novel mechanism, did not meet the high expectations set by earlier trials, leading to a dip in investor confidence. Meanwhile, Eli Lilly, another major player in the pharmaceutical industry, appears to be gaining ground with its own obesity treatments, potentially positioning it to lead the sector. This development has stirred worries among stakeholders about Novo Nordisk's future market position, especially as the demand for effective weight loss solutions continues to grow.
