Lilly’s Oral GLP-1 Candidate Outperforms AstraZeneca’s Farxiga in Late-Stage Diabetes Trials

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 15, 2025 – Eli Lilly’s investigational oral GLP-1 receptor agonist, orforglipron, has achieved another major milestone in its late-stage clinical program. Following its earlier success against Novo Nordisk’s semaglutide, the once-daily oral therapy has now demonstrated superiority over AstraZeneca’s blockbuster Farxiga (dapagliflozin) in two Phase III studies targeting patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes.

Strong Phase III Results Reinforce Competitive Edge
The twin trials, ACHIEVE-2 and ACHIEVE-5, assessed orforglipron’s efficacy and safety in patients whose diabetes remained poorly controlled despite metformin therapy. Both studies met their primary and secondary endpoints, showing significant improvements in key glycemic markers and body weight after 40 weeks of treatment.

Sarepta’s SRP-9003 Gene Therapy Shows Clinical Promise but Faces FDA Uncertainty

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 15, 2025 – Sarepta Therapeutics is pressing forward with its limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) gene therapy, SRP-9003, despite a strategic pivot earlier this year toward small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapies and ongoing regulatory challenges. New late-stage data presented at the World Muscle Society Congress in Vienna suggest the therapy could still hold clinical and commercial potential—if Sarepta can navigate FDA scrutiny and rebuild trust in its gene therapy platform.

Promising Clinical Outcomes at WMS 2025
At the 30th annual World Muscle Society (WMS) meeting, Sarepta shared Phase III data from its EMERGENE trial evaluating SRP-9003 in 17 LGMD patients. The therapy, designed to restore beta-sarcoglycan expression—a key muscle-stabilizing protein—met its primary endpoint after 60 days of observation.
