Eli Lil­ly touts MACE win for di­a­betes block­buster Trulic­i­ty — a 'nice pos­i­tive'

Eli Lil­ly $LLY is boast­ing about a big win for its block­buster di­a­betes drug Trulic­i­ty, say­ing their drug pro­duced “com­pelling” ev­i­dence of its abil­i­ty to guard against car­dio events.

We don’t have the da­ta yet, but the phar­ma gi­ant is say­ing it’s clear that Trulic­i­ty de­liv­ers in pre­vent­ing ini­tial or sec­ondary ma­jor car­dio events like heart at­tacks. And it did it in a study with on­ly a mi­nor­i­ty of at-risk pa­tients, which will per­haps help dis­tin­guish it from the crowd of GLP-1 drugs now on the mar­ket, which have their own MACE da­ta to tout.
