An AI proof-of-concept study from Dandelion Health has identified an additional 44 million lower-risk cardiovascular patients who could benefit from a GLP-1 treatment. Using inclusion criteria similar to the Novo Nordisk-sponsored trial that helped convince the FDA that Wegovy had heart benefits, Dandelion examined whether GLP-1 use might reduce the risk of major adverse cardiac events such as heart attack or stroke in overweight and obese patients in lower-risk patients that didn’t have severe pre-existing cardiovascular disease.

Pfizer’s experimental drug, ponsegromab, has shown promising results in a Phase 2 clinical trial aimed at treating cancer cachexia - a serious condition characterized by muscle and weight loss. Presented at the 2024 ESMO conference, the candidate achieved weight gains of up to 5.6% in patients suffering from cachexia due to lung, pancreatic, or colorectal cancer, surpassing the 5% threshold deemed clinically significant. Pfizer is planning to commence Phase 3 trials by 2025, and aims to provide the first FDA-approved treatment for this life-threatening condition, which currently relies on nutritional support and anti-inflammatory treatments.
