Eli Lilly lops Alzheimer's and obesity assets from pipeline in Q4 update
In obesity, Lilly removed a dual amylin calcitonin receptor agonist (DACRA) from its phase 1 pipeline. Lilly got into DACRAs by partnering with KeyBioscience in 2017. At one time, the Big Pharma was advancing a DACRA alongside tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound, but the GLP-1 candidate emerged as the more promising program.
