Pfizer $PFE ends development of obesity drug due to side effects. 🔴
You may remember my recent post that talked about the positive test results of Pfizer's obesity drug.
Today our stock dropped over 4% right after the market opened on the news that the development of this drug was being abruptly terminated.
Pfizer said it will instead focus on its other oral obesity drug, danuglipron, which is in a phase two clinical trial. It expects to complete plans for a phase three clinical trial program for danuglipron by the end of 2023.
Pfizer is developing treatments aimed at reducing weight in patients with diabetes and obesity as it seeks to target a market estimated to reach $100 billion by the end of the decade.
