AI summary
What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Lilly disclosed 52-week results from TOGETHER-PsO and TOGETHER-PsA, showing that Taltz and Zepbound together preserved or deepened improvements in skin and joint disease while improving systemic inflammation and metabolic markers in obese patients. The data are exploratory and open-label, but they underscore a potential immunometabolic treatment approach that could broaden Lilly's addressable market if validated in later trials and regulatory approval.
52-week data show Taltz+Zepbound sustain improvements vs Taltz alone.
Primary outcomes: PASI100+≥10% weight loss in PsO reached 30.6% vs 4.4%.
PsA: ACR50+≥10% weight loss at Week 52 reached 39.2% vs 1.7%.
Adverse events were mild/moderate; safety profile consistent with known data.
