Lilly’s Oral GLP-1 Pill Meets Phase 3 Goals, Shares Rebound

Lilly says the result completes the data needed for orforglipron's regulatory submissions.

Overview

  • In a 72-week study, the highest orforglipron dose delivered 10.5% average weight loss versus 2.2% on placebo and lowered hemoglobin A1C.
  • Lilly reported Q2 2025 revenue of $15.6 billion, up 38% year over year, led by Mounjaro and Zepbound.
  • The stock rose more than 4% intraday Tuesday following the data release.
  • The company said the top-line results provide a full package to seek global approvals, including a filing to the FDA.
  • The update follows a roughly 14% selloff on Aug. 7 after an earlier readout, with payer limits and intensifying competition continuing to influence the drug’s commercial outlook.
