The analysis, the 13th edition of the Pharmaceutical Innovation and Invention Index, was produced by the consultancy Idea Pharma and released Thursday at the STA

Eli Lilly reported Thursday that its experimental weekly insulin worked as well as daily basal insulin products in two late-stage studies, paving the way for the drug to compete with a similar weekly insulin developed by Novo Nordisk.
