Ep. 190 - Obesity Mechanisms, Noubar Takeaways, Scleroderma Platform Trial

BioCentury This Week

There’s a tectonic shift happening in obesity research and drug development, BioCentury Editor in Chief Simone Fishburn said on the latest BioCentury This Week podcast. Fishburn and colleagues discuss how the success of obesity therapies from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly targeting the incretin axis has galvanized a wave of drug development with different molecular targets as well as last week’s threshold-setting cardiovascular outcomes trial data from Novo and recent obesity deals by the two companies.
BioCentury’s editors also discuss takeaways from Fishburn’s conversation with Flagship Pioneering’s Noubar Afeyan on The BioCentury Show, plus the Scleroderma Research Foundation’s plans to bring the platform trial model to scleroderma.
