Pharma Pulse: The Oral GLP-1 Battle and GSK’s Billion-Dollar Breath of Fresh Air
Eli Lilly’s oral GLP‑1 small‑molecule orforglipron demonstrated greater A1C reduction and weight loss than oral semaglutide, while offering flexible dosing without fasting. GSK announced a $950 million acquisition of 35Pharma, securing HS235, an activin‑signaling inhibitor aimed at pulmonary hypertension. The deal taps a market projected to reach $18 billion by 2032, with half of that value expected for activin‑targeted therapies. Together, these moves reshape diabetes weight‑loss competition and expand GSK’s respiratory pipeline.
