Investors to focus on geopolitics, US economic data this week

Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York, US, on Monday, May 19, 2025.- Photographer: Michael Nagle/Bloomberg NEW YORK: Investors will focus on the Israel-Iran conflict and US economic data releases this week to assess the near-term outlook for stocks, as the S&P 500 hovers just below its February highs. The S&P 500 has rebounded sharply from its early-April sell-off, as tariff-related tensions have eased. However, the US benchmark index appears to be taking a breather at some 2.7% below its February closing high. The index has gone 27 trading sessions since coming within 5% of its February high but has not yet set a new record. With Israel and Iran trading missiles, escalating threats of a sweeping conflict in the Middle East sent oil prices sharply higher and led to caution in global markets. 'We're all waiting on pins and needles to see what happens with the Israel-Iran situation,' said Brian Jacobsen, chief economist at Annex Wealth Management. So far, the oil market has absorbed most of the impact from geopolitical turmoil, with equities relatively stable. Yet stock investors remain concerned that higher oil prices could stoke inflation and upset plans for interest rate cuts from the US Federal Reserve (Fed). Last Wednesday, the Fed held rates steady and the central bank's policymakers signalled borrowing costs are still likely to fall this year. But they estimated the overall pace of expected future rate cuts would be slower than they saw at their last meeting in March. They cited expectations that higher inflation would flow from President Donald Trump's tariff plans. 'The question is oil prices and what that does to inflation – which has implications for monetary policy and how long the Fed keeps rates 'meaningfully restrictive',' said Sonu Varghese, global macro strategist at financial services company Carson Group. The big near-term risk for equities, investors said, was the effects of the United States joining Israel's bombing campaign against arch-enemy Iran. The US joined Israel's bombardment of Iranian nuclear and missile sites last Saturday, as residents of Iran's capital Tehran streamed out of the city on the sixth day of the air assault. The White House had said last Thursday that Trump would decide on US action in the next two weeks. 'The US entry into the war or further escalation in the attacks between the two countries, that would give the S&P 500 and equity markets more reasons to react negatively,' said Damian McIntyre, head of multi-asset solutions at investment management company Federated Hermes in Pittsburgh. On the other hand, a de-escalation in Middle East tensions could prompt a relief rally for stocks. 'If both sides can kind of just slowly de-escalate, that would be positive for equity markets, positive for risk markets,' McIntyre said. 'Markets are taking a bit of a wait-and-see approach here,' he said. Still, any stock market pull-backs due to rising geopolitical tensions are likely to be fleeting, investors said. 'History says that usually military shocks are shallow and short-lived, and so until further notice, I think that's how Wall Street will react to this one,' Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research, said. Investors will also parse a slew of incoming data releases, including US business activity and housing sales today, consumer confidence numbers tomorrow and the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index on Friday. US consumer confidence plunged in the past few months, with households fearing tariffs could prompt a recession and higher inflation. However, with inflation in check and the United States reaching a truce in its trade fight with China, investors expect to see a pickup in sentiment. 'Remember, the survey-based data all got crushed in the March, April, May time frame. My expectation is we're still going to see an improvement,' Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide said. — Reuters

Lilly's once-weekly insulin efsitora alfa demonstrated A1C reduction and a safety profile consistent with daily insulin in multiple Phase 3 trials

Results from the fixed-dose QWINT-1 study, along with the QWINT-3 and QWINT-4 studies, reinforce efsitora's potential to simplify insulin management with weekly dosing Lilly plans to submit efsitora for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes to global regulatory agencies by the end of this year INDIANAPOLIS, June 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced detailed results from QWINT-1, QWINT-3, and QWINT-4 Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of investigational once-weekly insulin efsitora alfa (efsitora) in adults with type 2 diabetes who used insulin for the first time, previously used daily basal insulin, and previously used daily basal insulin and mealtime insulin, respectively. In each trial, once-weekly efsitora met the primary endpoint of non-inferior A1C reduction compared to daily basal insulin. The complete results from these studies were presented at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 85th Scientific Sessions 2025. Simultaneously, results from QWINT-1, a first-of-its-kind fixed-dose study, were published in The New England Journal of Medicine, while results from QWINT-3 and QWINT-4 were published in The Lancet. In QWINT-1, efsitora reduced A1C by 1.31% compared to 1.27% for insulin glargine at week 52 for the efficacy estimand.1,2 In the trial, efsitora was titrated to four fixed doses at four-week intervals, as needed for blood glucose control.3 In QWINT-3, efsitora reduced A1C by 0.86% compared to 0.75% for insulin degludec at week 26 for the efficacy estimand.4 In QWINT-4, efsitora reduced A1C by 1.07% compared to 1.07% for insulin glargine at week 26 for the efficacy estimand.5 In these two trials, efsitora was administered using traditional insulin dosing with adjustments based on each patient's glucose level. 'The novel fixed-dose regimen used in QWINT-1 for once-weekly efsitora, which consisted of only four single-dose titration options, has the potential to facilitate and simplify insulin therapy, reducing the hesitation often associated with starting insulin to treat type 2 diabetes,' said Dr. Julio Rosenstock, senior scientific advisor for Velocity Clinical Research at Medical City Dallas, clinical professor of medicine, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and lead trial investigator for QWINT-1. 'A simpler, once-weekly regimen with efsitora may help people with type 2 diabetes initiate and manage insulin therapy with the goal of improving blood sugar levels. Across all QWINT trials, the results showed that once-weekly efsitora controlled glucose as effectively as the most popular once-daily basal insulins.' QWINT-1 Primary Endpoint Efficacy Estimand Treatment-RegimenEstimand6 Primary Endpoint – A1C Reduction (Resulting A1C) at Week 52 Efsitora -1.31 % (6.92 %) -1.19 % (7.05 %) Glargine -1.27 % (6.96 %) -1.16 % (7.08 %) QWINT-3 Primary and Key Secondary Endpoints Efficacy Estimand Treatment-RegimenEstimand Primary Endpoint – A1C Reduction (Resulting A1C) at Week 26 Efsitora -0.86 % (6.93 %) -0.81 % (6.99 %) Degludec -0.75 % (7.03 %) -0.72 % (7.08 %) Key Secondary Endpoint – Rates of Clinically Significant or Severe Nocturnal Hypoglycemic Events Per Patient-Year of Exposure up to Week 787,8 Efsitora 0.11 Degludec 0.10 Key Secondary Endpoint – Percent Time in Range (70-180 mg/dL) During the FourWeeks Prior to Week 26 Efsitora 62.8 % 61.4 % Degludec 61.3 % 61.0 % QWINT-4 Primary and Key Secondary Endpoints Efficacy Estimand Treatment-Regimen Estimand Primary Endpoint – A1C Reduction (Resulting A1C) at Week 26 Efsitora -1.07 % (7.12 %) -1.01 % (7.17 %) Glargine -1.07 % (7.11 %) -1.00 % (7.18 %) Key Secondary Endpoint – Participants Achieving A1C <7% at Week 26 Without Nocturnal Hypoglycemia Efsitora 39.5 % 38.6 % Glargine 36.6 % 35.9 % Key Secondary Endpoint – Rates of Clinically Significant or Severe NocturnalHypoglycemic Events Per Patient-Year of Exposure up to Week 26 Efsitora 0.67 Glargine 1.00 'Building on Lilly's legacy of innovation in insulin therapy, once-weekly efsitora may offer a significant advancement for people with type 2 diabetes who need insulin by eliminating over 300 injections per year,' said Jeff Emmick, M.D., Ph.D., senior vice president of product development at Lilly. 'These results reinforce the potential for once-weekly efsitora to help reduce the overall burden of insulin therapy through a simplified treatment approach. We look forward to working with regulatory agencies to bring this innovation to patients around the world.' Across the three trials, efsitora demonstrated an overall safety profile similar to two of the most commonly used daily basal insulin therapies for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In QWINT-1, efsitora resulted in approximately 40% fewer hypoglycemic events compared to insulin glargine, with estimated combined rates of severe or clinically significant hypoglycemic events per patient-year of exposure of 0.50 with efsitora vs. 0.88 with insulin glargine at 52 weeks. In QWINT-3, these rates were 0.84 with efsitora vs. 0.74 with insulin degludec at 78 weeks. In QWINT-4, estimated combined rates of severe or clinically significant hypoglycemic events per patient-year of exposure were 6.6 with efsitora vs. 5.9 with insulin glargine at 26 weeks. Lilly plans to submit efsitora for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes to global regulatory agencies by the end of this year. About the QWINT clinical trial programThe QWINT Phase 3 global clinical development program for insulin efsitora alfa (efsitora) in diabetes began in 2022 and has enrolled more than 3,000 people living with type 2 diabetes across four global registration studies. QWINT-1 (NCT05662332) was a parallel-design, open-label, treat-to-target, randomized controlled clinical trial comparing the efficacy and safety of efsitora as a once-weekly basal insulin using a fixed dose escalation to daily insulin glargine for 52 weeks in insulin-naïve adults with type 2 diabetes. The trial randomized 795 participants across the U.S., Argentina and Mexico to receive efsitora once weekly or insulin glargine once daily, administered subcutaneously. Participants treated with efsitora received a starting dose of 100 units of insulin, followed by escalation to fixed dosages of 150 units, 250 units and 400 units every four weeks, as needed, until achieving a target fasting blood glucose of 80-130 mg/dL. Participants with fasting blood glucose greater than 130 mg/dL on or after 16 weeks were transferred to flexible dosing. The primary objective of the trial was to demonstrate non-inferiority in reducing A1C at week 52 with efsitora compared to daily use of insulin glargine. QWINT-3 (NCT05275400) was a multicenter, randomized, parallel-design, open-label trial comparing the efficacy and safety of efsitora as a once-weekly basal insulin to insulin degludec for 78 weeks after a three-week lead-in followed by a five-week safety follow up period, in adults with type 2 diabetes who are currently treated with basal insulin. The trial randomized 986 participants across the U.S., Argentina, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Poland, Puerto Rico, Slovakia, Spain and Taiwan to receive efsitora once weekly or insulin degludec once daily, administered subcutaneously. The primary objective of the study was to demonstrate non-inferiority in reducing A1C at week 26 with efsitora compared to insulin degludec. QWINT-4 (NCT05462756) was a parallel-design, open-label, treat-to-target, randomized controlled clinical trial comparing the efficacy and safety of efsitora as a weekly basal insulin to insulin glargine for 26 weeks in adults with type 2 diabetes who have previously been treated with basal insulin and at least two injections per day of mealtime insulin. The trial randomized 730 participants across the U.S., Argentina, Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Spain to receive efsitora once weekly or insulin glargine once daily, both of which were administered subcutaneously along with insulin lispro. The primary objective of the trial was to demonstrate non-inferiority in reducing A1C at week 26 with efsitora compared to insulin glargine. About insulin efsitora alfaInsulin efsitora alfa (efsitora) is a once-weekly basal insulin, a fusion protein that combines a novel single-chain variant of insulin with a human IgG2 Fc domain. It is specifically designed for once-weekly subcutaneous administration, and with its low peak-to-trough ratio, it has the potential to provide more stable glucose levels (less glucose variability) throughout the week.

Lilly's oral GLP-1, orforglipron, showed compelling efficacy and a safety profile consistent with injectable GLP-1 medicines, in complete Phase 3 results published in The New England Journal of Medici

The investigational once-daily pill lowered A1C by an average of 1.3% to 1.6% across doses, with improvements seen as early as four weeks, in adults with type 2 diabetes In ACHIEVE-1, orforglipron also led to an average weight loss of 16.0 lbs (7.9%) at the highest dose by week 40 in a key secondary endpoint The safety profile of orforglipron was consistent with the established GLP-1 class INDIANAPOLIS, June 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced detailed results from ACHIEVE-1, a Phase 3 trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of orforglipron compared to placebo in adults with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control with diet and exercise alone. Orforglipron is the first oral small molecule (non-peptide) glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, taken without food and water restrictions, to successfully complete a Phase 3 trial. At 40 weeks, all three doses (3 mg, 12 mg, 36 mg) of orforglipron achieved the primary endpoint of superior A1C reduction. In addition, the 12 mg and 36 mg doses showed clinically meaningful and statistically significant reductions in body weight vs. placebo. In the study, orforglipron had a safety profile similar to the established GLP-1 class, and the most frequently reported adverse events were gastrointestinal-related. The results were presented at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 85th Scientific Sessions 2025 and simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine. In the study, orforglipron met the primary endpoint of superior A1C reduction compared to placebo at 40 weeks, lowering A1C by 1.3% to 1.6% from a baseline of 8.0%, for the efficacy estimand.1 In key secondary endpoints, up to 76.2% of participants taking orforglipron achieved the ADA treatment target A1C of <7%, 66.0% achieved an A1C of ≤6.5%, and 25.8% achieved <5.7%, defined as a normal A1C value.2,3 Improvements in A1C were observed as early as four weeks and were accompanied by similar reductions in fasting serum glucose. In another key secondary endpoint, participants taking the highest dose of orforglipron lost an average of 16.0 lbs (7.9%). While participants in ACHIEVE-1 did not appear to reach a weight plateau, longer-duration trials, such as the ATTAIN trials, will provide a comprehensive evaluation of the safety and efficacy of orforglipron for the treatment of obesity. 'The ACHIEVE-1 trial demonstrated that orforglipron, a novel oral small-molecule GLP-1, achieved clinically meaningful reductions in A1C and body weight over 40 weeks in adults with type 2 diabetes,' said Dr. Julio Rosenstock, senior scientific advisor for Velocity Clinical Research at Medical City Dallas, clinical professor of medicine, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and lead trial investigator. 'The early onset of glycemic improvement, observed as soon as four weeks, reinforces the therapeutic potential of orforglipron as an effective, oral GLP-1 therapy for early type 2 diabetes treatment. These findings support further investigation in broader populations and longer-duration studies.'

'This convenient once-daily pill with no restrictions on food and water intake could be an option for millions of people with type 2 diabetes who prefer oral medications over injectables,' said Jeff Emmick, M.D., Ph.D., senior vice president of product development at Lilly. 'The positive ACHIEVE-1 results position orforglipron as a potential treatment option with meaningful A1C and weight reduction, and a safety profile similar to injectable GLP-1 therapies. We look forward to the four remaining global readouts from the ACHIEVE program, as well as results of the ATTAIN program in obesity, and working with regulators to bring this once-daily oral GLP-1 to people around the world.' The overall safety profile of orforglipron in ACHIEVE-1 was consistent with the established GLP-1 class. The most common adverse events for participants treated with orforglipron (3 mg, 12 mg and 36 mg, respectively) were diarrhea (19%, 21% and 26%) vs. 9% with placebo, nausea (13%, 18% and 16%) vs. 2% with placebo, dyspepsia (11%, 20% and 15%) vs. 7% with placebo, constipation (8%, 17% and 14%) vs. 4% with placebo, and vomiting (5%, 7% and 14%) vs. 1% with placebo. These gastrointestinal-related adverse events were generally mild-to-moderate in severity and occurred primarily during dose escalation. Overall treatment discontinuation rates due to adverse events were 6% (3 mg), 4% (12 mg) and 8% (36 mg) for orforglipron vs. 1% with placebo. No hepatic safety signal was observed. Later this year, Lilly expects to share topline results from ACHIEVE-2, evaluating orforglipron compared with dapagliflozin, and ACHIEVE-3, evaluating orforglipron compared to oral semaglutide, both in adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin. ATTAIN-1 and ATTAIN-2, evaluating orforglipron for weight management, will also be shared in the third quarter of this year. Lilly remains on track to submit orforglipron for weight management to global regulatory agencies by the end of this year and for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in 2026. About orforglipron Orforglipron (or-for-GLIP-ron) is an investigational, once-daily small molecule (non-peptide) oral glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist that can be taken any time of the day without restrictions on food and water intake.5 Orforglipron was discovered by Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and licensed by Lilly in 2018. Chugai and Lilly published the preclinical pharmacology data of this molecule together.6 Lilly is running Phase 3 studies on orforglipron for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related medical problem. It is also being studied as a potential treatment for obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension in adults with obesity. About ACHIEVE-1 and the ACHIEVE clinical trial program ACHIEVE-1 (NCT05971940) is a Phase 3, 40-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing the efficacy and safety of orforglipron 3 mg, 12 mg and 36 mg as monotherapy to placebo in adults with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control with diet and exercise alone. The trial randomized 559 participants across the U.S., China, India, Japan and Mexico in 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive either 3 mg, 12 mg or 36 mg orforglipron or placebo. The primary objective of the study was to demonstrate that orforglipron (3 mg, 12 mg, 36 mg) is superior in A1C reduction from baseline after 40 weeks, compared to placebo, in people with type 2 diabetes who have not taken any anti-diabetic medications for at least 90 days prior to visit 1, and are naïve to insulin therapy. Study participants had a HbA1c between ≥7.0% and ≤9.5% and a BMI of ≥23 kg/m2. All participants in the orforglipron treatment arms started the study at a dose of orforglipron 1 mg once-daily and then increased the dose in a step-wise approach at four-week intervals to their final randomized maintenance dose of 3 mg (via a 1 mg step), 12 mg (via steps at 1 mg, 3 mg and 6 mg) or 36 mg (via steps at 1 mg, 3 mg, 6 mg, 12 mg and 24 mg). Flexible dosing was not permitted. The ACHIEVE Phase 3 global clinical development program for orforglipron has enrolled more than 6,000 people with type 2 diabetes across five global registration trials. The program began in 2023 with results anticipated later this year and into 2026. About LillyLilly is a medicine company turning science into healing to make life better for people around the world.
