Recently, the Galien Foundation in the United States announced the winners of the Prix Galien USA Awards, often acknowledged as the "Nobel Prize of the pharmaceutical industry.” This prestigious award honors distinguished scientific innovation that significantly contributes to the improvement of human health and is considered one of the highest accolades in the pharmaceutical and biomedicine industries. It is worth noting that among the winners this year, Ozempic from Novo Nordisk and Mounjaro from Eli Lily and Company were awarded this outstanding recognition for their breakthrough therapies!
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a dual agonist for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors. It was approved by the US FDA in May 2022 for use in combination with diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. According to the press release of Eli Lily, Mounjaro represents the first new type of diabetes medication in nearly a decade.
Semaglutide, marketed as Ozempic, was approved by the US FDA in 2017 for the control of blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that stimulates the production of insulin and inhibits the secretion of glucagon, thereby reducing appetite and food intake. In June 2021, semaglutide injection (once weekly, 2.4 mg), marketed as Wegovy, was approved by the FDA for the first time for the treatment of obesity. This marked the first new weight loss medication approved by the FDA since 2014.
