@bioinvestor24 Bioinvestor24Eli Lilly ($lly) is experiencing massive revenue growth, particularly with its tirzepatide, which is now one of the best-selling drugs in history. The company is operating in the obesity market with its glp1 gip dual agonist, and its international growth is significant, with examples such as a 40% month-over-month growth in India. Other companies, including Novo Nordisk ($nvo), Pfizer ($pfe), and Viking Therapeutics ($vktx), are also active in the obesity market, with various deals, trials, and data releases.

"humans cant come on- off oral GLP1 from $NVO and particularly $LLy ( shorter t1/2) prn as that re -sensitizes for GI issues. This is why trials do slow escalation Big institutions have consultants that understand the limitation of current oral options and this is why $LLY didnt collapse on initial novo oral wave ( that needs to be confirmed in a few months ) Also for $CRVS intermittent kinase inhibition is different from genetic mutation or a lot of drugs will be too toxic. The same thinking u can say of $NKTR that chronic Treg activation can increase risk of cancer. We need to wait and see."
