Encouraging clinical trial results<\/a> announced on Thursday stand to open up a huge market for a convenient daily pill to treat obesity and diabetes.<\/p>\n

The experimental drug, developed by Eli Lilly and known as orforglipron, is a type of medication known as a GLP-1. Drugs in this class like Wegovy have become hugely popular because they help people lose weight.<\/p>\n

But those drugs must be given as weekly injections, which has limited their use. If orforglipron can deliver similar results in an easy-to-take pill form, as the study suggested it could, it has the potential to reach many more patients and become a major blockbuster.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what to know about Eli Lilly\u2019s pill, which still must go through a review process by the Food and Drug Administration to be approved for sale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
