MW Eli Lilly's stock soars 13% after reporting positive data from trial of diabetes and weight-loss pill

Eli Lilly & Co.'s Inc.'s stock soared 13% in premarket trade Thursday, after the drug maker reported positive results from a late-stage trial of an oral GLP-1 treatment for Type 2 diabetes.

The company $(LLY)$ said orforglipron showed statistically significant results and a safety profile that was consistent with injectable GLP-1 medicines in the Phase 3 trial. The once-daily treatment reduced weight by an average of 16 lbs at the highest dose in a secondary endpoint.

The drug is the first oral small-molecule GLP-receptor agonist to successfully complete a Phase 3 trial, said Lilly in a statement.

"We are pleased to see that our latest incretin medicine meets our expectations for safety and tolerability, glucose control and weight loss, and we look forward to additional data readouts later this year," said Lilly CEO David A. Ricks in prepared remarks.
