The new drug is part of the second-generation of weight-loss pills under development by companies including Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk that will offer patients a more convenient alternative to injections

plans to move a reworked, once-a-day version of its weight loss pill danuglipron into clinical trials later this year, the company said on Thursday, after scrapping a twice- daily version of the drug late last year.

Some analysts expect the weight-loss drug market, currently dominated by Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy and Eli Lilly’s Zepbound, to be worth more than $150 billion in annual sales by the early 2030s. It had already dropped another daily weight loss drug, called lotiglipron, due to safety concerns as it raised levels of liver enzymes in some patients.The shares closed at $28.35 on Wednesday and have lost more than half of their value since hitting $61 in December 2021, due to a steep drop in sales of its COVID products and investor worries over its pipeline including lotiglipron.
