Eli Lilly 's weight loss drug Zepbound showed benefits in patients with a common type of heart failure and obesity, according to late-stage trial data the company released Thursday.
Eli Lilly said it plans to submit the results from the phase three trial to regulators in the U.S. and other agencies starting later this year.
Zepbound also significantly improved heart failure symptoms and physical limitations, Eli Lilly said in a release.
Eli Lilly will present the data at an upcoming medical meeting and submit it to a peer-reviewed journal.
