Jasbg,

You make an excellent point about risks and side effects.

Going back to the last March 7 Capital Markets 2024 where Novo Nordisk provided a progress update on its Strategic Aspirations 2025 (https://novo.evenzu.com/stream/cmd2024#312;)

Please watch the session on Cardiovascular & Emerging Therapy Areas presented by Martin Holst Lange, Executive Vice President, Development.

Listen from minute 3:30 to 3:50.

Although I had difficulty hearing him well because of his accent this is most of what he said in an unusually excited manner:

3:32 QUOTE Obviously, for us it is nice to take XXXX departure XXX XXXXX XXX. Talked about that earlier today, moving into a new therapy area, having a molecule already in the market that decreases the risk of MACE, improves cardiovascular, but also all causes mortality; particularly thinking about the ASCVD space, it’s incredible UNQUOTE

Two questions come to mind:

1) to what molecule was he referring?

2) Could Novo Nordisk’s goal to establish a presence in the cardiovascular space in 2025, and Amarin’s BOD objective to “accelerate operational momentum”, that is execution in the short-term, converge?

As a reminder, it is the next day, on March 8, that FDA approved the weight-loss drug Wegovy for lowering the risk of stroke and heart attack in overweight and obese adults who do not have diabetes.

Would appreciate your input.

Interesting about these side effects. Saw a story today about a Food Network personality that said she got really sick on the weight loss med:
