Novo says Wegovy trial moved 40% of young children out of obesity — 6hIn Novo Nordisk's STEP Young phase 3 trial, once-weekly semaglutide plus lifestyle changes reduced BMI and 40.4% of children aged 6-11 with obesity no longer met obesity criteria after 68 weeks, versus 0% on placebo. Safety remained consistent with prior semaglutide studies, adding to the growing body of pediatric obesity treatment data.

China obesity rate expected above 65% by 2030 — Aug 24, 2026China’s National Health Commission suggests obesity could exceed 65% of the population by 2030, triggering a push by major drugmakers to promote GLP-1 weight-loss injections through indirect public advertising in places like metro stations and stadiums due to bans on direct prescription-drug ads. Companies including Novo Nordisk, Lilly, Pfizer, and Innovent Biologics are vying for market share, with Lilly leading online sales on Alibaba/JD.com and campaigns emphasizing obesity risks and related conditions such as sleep apnea without naming products.

Novo Nordisk launches Wegovy pill in Germany as Eli Lilly readies rival — 6dNovo Nordisk is rolling out Wegovy as an oral weight‑loss pill in Germany, the EU’s first market to receive the formulation after EU approval, with prices expected around €170–€280 and strong competition from Eli Lilly’s Foundayo on the horizon. The launch leverages Wegovy’s dominant position in the oral obesity market, while analysts weigh the impact of the tablet on growth, pricing, and payer access across Europe.

Tom Gallagher Curious how many insurers in Germany will actually cover this at launch, oral obesity meds still feel like they're priced for a niche market.
