Eli Lilly's tirzepatide reduced heart failure risk by 38% and improved exercise capacity in a SUMMIT phase 3 trial.

Eli Lilly's weight loss drug, tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro), has shown significant improvements in reducing heart failure risks in a late-stage clinical trial, SUMMIT phase 3 trial. The drug reduced the risk of heart failure outcomes by 38% compared to placebo. It improved exercise capacity, reduced inflammation, and resulted in a 15.7% weight loss in a combined population. The overall safety profile was consistent with previous studies, and Eli Lilly plans to submit the SUMMIT trial results to the U.S. FDA and other regulatory agencies later this year.
