智通财经APP获悉,诺和诺德(NVO.US)周五表示,新一代实验性减肥药CagriSema在一项后期试验中帮助超重患者减轻了22.7%的体重,低于预期的25%。受该消息影响,诺和诺德股价盘前大跌23%,而其对手礼来(LLY.US)涨近10%。
该候选药物的减肥效果不及预期,对这家丹麦制药商造成了打击,该公司希望推出一款比礼来(LLY.US)的Zepbound更有效的药物,以接替其广受欢迎的Wegovy。
诺和诺德表示,该药物的副作用与已上市的GLP-1药物类似。根据处方信息,在试验中,约44%服用Wegovy的患者出现恶心,30%出现呕吐。
CagriSema是一种每周注射一次的药物,它将Wegovy的活性成分司美格鲁肽(Semaglutide)以及长效胰淀素类似物卡格列肽(Cagrilintide)结合在一起。这两种激素结合起来可以抑制饥饿感并有助于控制患者的血糖。
诺和诺德的股价今年以来一直承压,表现明显落后于主要竞争对手礼来,主要原因是市场担心诺和诺德在与礼来的减肥药竞争中可能会失去先发优势。
礼来的减肥注射剂在临床试验中可使患者平均减重近23%。
另外,廉价减肥仿制药正获得一些海外监管机构的批准,对诺和诺德和礼来的价格和市场份额构成威胁。据报道,今年至少有七种含有司美格鲁肽的新产品已被批准在老挝和俄罗斯销售。
