Key Events Over the Last Three Months

Regulatory

  • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency, and European Medicines Agency accepted Lilly's New Drug Application (NDA) in the U.S. and Japan, and Marketing Authorization Application in the European Union, respectively, for tirzepatide for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes. Lilly also submitted tirzepatide to six additional markets.
  • The company initiated a rolling submission to the FDA for pirtobrutinib, seeking accelerated approval in mantle cell lymphoma, with expectations to complete the submission in 2022 and regulatory action anticipated in early 2023.
  • The FDA accepted a supplemental NDA (sNDA) and granted priority review for Jardiance® for adults with heart failure independent of left ventricular ejection fraction.
  • The company received Breakthrough Therapy designation from the FDA for an additional amyloid plaque lowering agent, N3pG 4.
  • Lilly's bamlanivimab and etesevimab, administered together, were authorized by the FDA as the first and only neutralizing antibody therapy for emergency use in COVID-19 patients under the age of 12.
  • The FDA has updated the Fact Sheet for bamlanivimab and etesevimab to include a new Limitation for Authorized Use: due to the high frequency of the Omicron variant, these antibody therapies are not currently authorized in any U.S. region. Authorization status will change as needed, depending on prevalence and trends of variants of concern.
  • The company submitted a request for Emergency Use Authorization for bebtelovimab for the treatment of mild-to-moderateCOVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. Authentic virus analysis of bebtelovimab confirm earlier pseudovirus findings, which demonstrate Lilly's investigational antibody neutralizes all known variants of concern, including Omicron.
  • The FDA accepted an sNDA and granted priority review for baricitinib for the treatment of COVID-19.

3

  • Lilly is in ongoing discussion with the FDA regarding the status of the sNDA for Olumiant® for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. At this point, the company does not have alignment with the FDA on the indicated population. Given the Agency's position, there is a possibility that this could lead to a Complete Response Letter.

Clinical

  • Lilly's lebrikizumab demonstrated significant skin improvement and itch relief when combined with topical corticosteroids in people with atopic dermatitis in its third Phase 3 study that supports regulatory submission in 2022.
  • Lilly's mirikizumab demonstrated superiority over placebo in a Phase 3 maintenance study in ulcerative colitis that supports regulatory submissions in 2022.
  • Based on top-line efficacy results from two pivotal Phase 3 trials (SLE-BRAVE-I and II), the company has decided to discontinue the Phase 3 development program for Olumiant in adults with active systemic lupus erythematosus.

Business Development/Other Developments

  • The U.S. Government signed a purchase agreement for 614,000 additional doses of Lilly's bamlanivimab and etesevimab for the treatment or post-exposure prevention of COVID-19 for a total of $1.29 billion. There were approximately 435,000 doses delivered in fourth-quarter 2021 with most of the remaining doses already shipped in January 2022.
  • New guidelines released by the World Health Organization on treatments for COVID-19 strongly recommend the use of baricitinib in combination with corticosteroids for severely or critically ill hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
  • Lilly announced new investments to increase the company's manufacturing capacity for current and future medicines. Lilly plans to invest more than 400 million euros in a new site in Limerick, Ireland to expand the company's manufacturing network for biologic active ingredients. Lilly plans to invest more than $1 billion in a new site in Concord, North Carolina to manufacture parenteral (injectable) products and devices.
