1458 GMT - Novo Nordisk's trial results for its new CagriSema weight-loss drug failed to impress, Stifel analyst Eric Le Berrigaud writes. This was the second phase 3 trial to evaluate CagriSema, this time in obese patients with diabetes. The type 2 diabetes population has a higher unmet need and CagriSema was expected to show a greater benefit in diabetic patients than in those without the disease. The results therefore remove a clear upside scenario, he says. "CagriSema does not seem to add a lot versus Eli Lilly's Tirzepatide either." Shares fall 3.2%. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
