Novo Nordisk seeks FDA approval for a higher-dose Wegovy, showing 20.7% average weight loss in trials.
Novo Nordisk has submitted a request to the FDA for approval of a higher dose of its weight-loss drug Wegovy (7.2 mg semaglutide) for adults with obesity.
Data from a 72-week trial showed the higher dose led to an average 20.7% weight loss, compared to 17.5% with the current 2.4 mg dose and 2.4% with placebo.
Over a third of patients on the higher dose lost at least 25% of their body weight.
The FDA is reviewing the application under a priority program, with a decision expected in 1–2 months.
The drug is also under review in the EU, UK, and other regions, with a decision expected in early 2026.
