Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) Announces New Phase 3 Trial Results for Orforglipron

I'm definitely wondering what the cost will be once it gets the green light.

 

[Green-FWIW]

Expect premium pricing.

 

[Vegas_Slim]

Gonna be outrageously expensive, I bet. My doctor wanted like $800 for a month of Ozempic before I started doing my own research. Hard pass on that!

 

[Cat_Coffee420]

Apparently Lilly's been prepped for a while for this launch, according to a report back in the winter. Pretty wild to see this stuff happening. I'm hoping they invest some of these profits into Alzheimer's research.

 

[Vegas_Slim]

Totally agree! Some call Alzheimer’s Type 3 Diabetes, so fingers crossed that better blood sugar control will help prevent mental decline.

Maybe if this becomes widely available, the rest of us can get our injectables without so much hassle.

 

[Vegas_Slim]

Fingers crossed for that day. A guy can hope!

 

[Run_Crew]

And yet, my LLY shares are taking a hit. Figures.

 

[CatJourney]

The entire market took a hit today, Run_Crew.

 

[Run_Crew]

Ah, well.

Time to buy more!

I saw an article about a new GLP-1 pill being approved by the FDA. Is this it?

Not this specific one, but there's already one oral GLP-1 on the market. Here's a link to a CNN article about it: https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/22/health/wegovy-pill-glp1-weight-loss-drugs

 

[Kelly_1976]

I'm more interested in the long-term pros and cons of these drugs. I saw a discussion where some docs were saying they're not just for casual weight loss, but for serious health issues. Makes sense, but still...

 

[Cat_Coffee420]

Pills over needles any day for me! I'd switch in a heartbeat if it was an option.

 

[GeneTale690]

I wonder how the oral absorption compares to the injections. I've heard mixed things.

 

[boredroaster]

Lilly said they won't announce any price for orforglipron until it hits the market.

 

[RetaReadyy]

Spot on with that one. Having it confirmed by others definitely helps.
