Key Takeaways

• The publisher estimates that in 2017, there were approximately 681.3 million prevalent cases of obesity in adults (aged 20+ years) worldwide, and expects that number to increase to 762.9 million prevalent cases by 2026.
• In the same year, the publisher estimates that there were 126.6 million prevalent cases of obesity in children and adolescents (aged 5-19 years) worldwide, and expects that number to increase to 134.0 million prevalent cases by 2026.
• Prevalence proportions are highest in Northern America and lowest in Asia. The approved drugs in the obesity space target gastric lipase, dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline), dopamine reuptake, norepinephrine (noradrenaline) reuptake/transporter, opioid receptors, GABA-A receptor, and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor. The majority of marketed drugs are administered via the oral route, with one product being available in a subcutaneous formulation.
• The majority of industry-sponsored drugs in active clinical development for obesity are in Phase I, with only one drug in Phase III and one in the NDA/BLA stage.
• Therapies in development for obesity focus on a wide variety of targets, with the subcutaneous route being the most common method of delivery.
• High-impact upcoming events for drugs in the obesity space comprise a decentralized EU approval and an estimated EU patent expiration for Qsymia; an expected supplemental CHMP opinion and a PDUFA date for Ozempic; and topline Phase III trial results for tirzepatide.
• The overall likelihood of approval of a Phase I obesity asset is 2.5%, and the average probability a drug advances from Phase III is 66.7%. Drugs, on average, take 8.5 years from Phase I to approval, compared to 9.1 years in the overall metabolic space.
• The distribution of clinical trials across Phase I-IV indicates that the majority of trials for obesity have been in the early and midphases of development, with 66% of trials in Phase I-II, and 34% in Phase III-IV.
• The US has a substantial lead in the number of obesity clinical trials globally. The UK leads the major European markets, while Japan has the top spot in Asia.
• Clinical trial activity in the obesity space is dominated by completed trials. Novo Nordisk has the highest number of completed clinical trials for obesity, with 82 trials.
• Novo Nordisk leads industry sponsors with the highest overall number of clinical trials for obesity, followed by AstraZeneca.
