How to check this claim

Look at: Number of retatrutide obesity-indication Phase III studies with reported topline results

It came true if: count of obesity-indication Phase III readouts disclosed in H2 2026 >= 3

Where: company press releases / earnings calls announcing Phase III trial results (H2 2026)

In context

of this medicine in patients where the clinical needs are at the highest. The first trial to readout TRIUMPH-4 compares retatrutide to placebo in patients with obesity and knee osteoarthritis pain. This 68-week study is designed primarily as a pain relief study to support an indication for treatment of knee osteoarthritis pain in combination with other trials in the TRIUMPH program. We look forward to sharing top line results from TRIUMPH-4 later this year. Given this is the first Phase III trial for retatrutide, we'll be cautious not to over extrapolate from these results. We have 7 more Phase III trials reading out in 2026 and 2027 and we'll likely need to see data from at least a few of these before we more fully understand the profile of this medicine across a wide range of patients. For the obesity indication specifically, we look forward to results from 3 additional Phase III studies in the second half of 2026. Moving now to muvalaplin, which is our once-daily oral small molecule inhibitor of lipoprotein(a) or Lp(a). Lp(a) is a biomarker associated with increased cardiovascular risk. In Phase II, muvalaplin demonstrated over 85% reduction of this biomarker at the highest dose compared to placebo. Based on these data, we've now initiated a Phase III study in people with elevated Lp(a) levels and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, known as the MOVE-Lp(a) trial. Muvalaplin is the first small molecule approach to Lp(a) and our second program in Phase III development against this important target. In other updates from cardiometabolic health, we submitted our once-weekly insulin called insulin efsitora alfa in the U.S. for treatment of type 2 diabetes and we announced plans to initiate 2 Phase I
