Novo Nordisk will begin a late-stage trial of its experimental next-generation obesity drug CagriSema on Feb. 10 to test its long-term efficacy, according to a entry. This study is not the new trial planned by the company after late-stage trial results last month,

Novo Nordisk A/S (NVO) stock saw a decline, ending the day at $84.03 which represents a decrease of $-1.16 or -1.36% from the prior close of $85.19. The stock opened at $85.62 and touched a low of $83.

Novo Nordisk agreed to cap insulin prices to settle a lawsuit in which Minnesota's attorney general accused the three largest insulin makers of charging astronomically high prices for the diabetes drug.

The new treatment targets gut hormone GLP-1 but also mimics amylin, a hormone released by the pancreas that suppresses hunger.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says his office has settled with the last of the three largest insulin manufacturers following its 2018 lawsuit over unaffordable prices that led several diabetics to ration their medications with fatal consequences.

A Novo Nordisk A/S investor says the pharmaceutical company’s failure to disclose how it tested experimental obesity shot CagriSema caused economic damage after patients lost less weight using the drug than previously predicted.

Amycretin could give Novo a buzzy product in an newly competitive obesity market. It works similarly to existing GLP-1 products, by mimicking a hormone in the body that provides a satiated feeling and curbs hunger, but adds a different hormone in the pancreas.

On Friday, however, Novo Nordisk announced top-line results in yet another trial. While the results don't initially sound as good as those in the trials cited above, however, the speed at which they were achieved has investors cheering, and Novo Nordisk stock is up 7.7% through 10:50 a.m. Friday morning.

One of Novo Nordisk's next-generation obesity shots to follow up on the success of Wegovy helped patients lose 22% of their weight in 36 weeks, according to early-stage trial results on Friday, boosting the drugmaker's shares.

Just how much Medicare price negotiations will negatively impact Novo Nordisk, though, depends on what the final negotiated prices for Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus will be. In Medicare's negotiations for 2026, the new prices achieved an average of 22% savings.

Novo Nordisk (NVO) said its popular diabetes drug Ozempic, or semaglutide, has been approved for the treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease and diabetes. Read more here.
