Longer term LLY continues to expect orals (i.e., Foundayo) torepresent a dominant piece of the overall market given convenience and cost. Mgmt was very enthusiastic about Reta's (GLP-GIP-glucagon) emerging profilefollowing the recent Ph3 obesity data (see our take HERE), which confirmed theirthesis for high BMI patients (i.e., 4O+), but interestingly noted the drug could alsorepresent a"workhorse"for patients with lower BMl, as the low dose Reta datacompare favorably to Tirzepatide with respect to weight loss, tolerability and timeof dose escalation. Safety of Reta is fine thus far and they feel good about the data(lots of patients dosed over a long period of time), and the company expects datafrom the TRIUMPH-3 trial in the next several months to fully discharge CV risk. OnEloralintide (selective amylin -Ph2 monotherapy completed last year and Ph2with Tirzepatide ongoing) they noted this might a drug for people with tolerabilityissues on incretins Major PharmaceuticalsUnited States of America Regarding potential longer-acting incretin approaches (i.e., monthly dosing), whilethey are not sure this is critical, they do not plan to leave anything in the spaceuncovered, and noted monthly dosing could play a role in the maintenance setting. Mgmt also expressed excitement about a broad range of non-obesity indicationssuch as immunology (Tirz+Taltz combo data -efficacy appears to be weightindependent given timing of onset) and Reta for osteoarthritis (one of the mostpowerful efficacy signals in pain).

Mgmt is a strong believer in the tau hypothesis and this is an areaof great interest at LLY; they look forward to seeing the full BIIB Ph2 tau ASO data at theupcoming AAlC conference. While the science is sound, they noted that the route ofadministration could be a challenge.Lp(a) programs: Noted their siRNA approach is more similar to AMGN than NVS, but there are some trial design differences and LLY also has an oral in the clinic. from a great team of people, and prefers platforms that are validated by an asset. LLY alsonoted they can take a longer-term time horizon than many other companies.They also likeareas with that can go broader with uncapped upside (such as sleep - see HERE), whereother companies aren't competing as aggressively. A number of recent deals have alsofeatured therapies that offer the hope of a one-time cure (genetic medicines) or diseasepre
