This is a great chart for a great company with an important 'something new' to drive the shares still higher. Novo Nordisk is better known for its diabetes treatments and there are many exciting innovations coming along here.
We are excited by the potential of once-weekly insulin icodec, which has successfully completed the phase 3 ONWARDS programme, demonstrating superior reductions in blood glucose levels compared to once-daily basal insulin degludec and insulin glargine in insulin naïve people with type 2 diabetes.
The launch of a 2.0 mg dose of our once-weekly GLP-1 injection Ozempic® in the US has increased options for patients, while Rybelsus® is continuing to expand choice in the oral anti-diabetic space. Looking to the future, our new CagriSema experimental therapy for type 2 diabetes – a combination of the established GLP-1 semaglutide and the long-acting amylin analogue cagrilintide – is set to enter phase 3 development in 2023 following promising phase 2 results.
