Lilly’s next-generation obesity candidate retatrutide cleared a key late-stage diabetes trial, showing strong effects on blood sugar and weight and highlighting the company’s pipeline momentum.

Genetic links between gut-hormone genes and drug response suggest future trials and clinical use may need biomarker-driven patient selection.
