Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY), the maker of Zepbound (tirzepatide), Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and Foundayo (orforglipron), will present new data across its cardiometabolic health portfolio at the 62nd Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) taking place September 28 to October 2, 2026 in Milan, Italy. These data, spanning multiple mechanisms and modalities, reflect Lilly's commitment to changing the course of cardiometabolic disease by expanding treatment choice today and raising the standard of care for tomorrow.
"More than a billion people worldwide are living with diabetes or obesity, and meeting their diverse needs requires multiple treatment options based on different mechanisms," said Kenneth Custer, Ph.D., executive vice president and president, Lilly Cardiometabolic Health. "We've built our portfolio with a goal of changing the course of the diabetes and obesity epidemics. At EASD 2026, we're showing what the next generation of innovation could deliver for patients, and how we intend to raise the bar for medicines of the future."
Lilly will also host an industry symposium, Changing the Course of Cardiometabolic Disease, on Monday, September 28 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. CEST, chaired by Prof. Rachel Batterham, senior vice president, medical innovation and external engagement, Lilly Cardiometabolic Health. Marking 150 years of Lilly innovation, the program will explore how obesity and type 2 diabetes can be treated from early stages of disease, with sessions on the emerging role of oral therapies and the next generation of mechanisms with the potential to redefine patient care.
Select Lilly Presentations at EASD 2026
Retatrutide symposium | Wednesday, September 30, 2026 | 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. CEST
This EASD-sponsored symposium will present Phase 3 results for retatrutide, an investigational once-weekly GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon triple receptor agonist.
TRIUMPH-2: Adults with obesity or overweight and type 2 diabetes taking retatrutide lost up to an average of 49.6 lbs (22.5 kg; 20.8%) and lowered their A1C by up to an average of 1.6% at 80 weeks.1
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) symposium | Wednesday, September 30, 2026 | 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. CEST
This EASD-sponsored symposium will present results for Mounjaro (tirzepatide) in adults living with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease.
SURPASS-CVOT: Mounjaro demonstrated non-inferiority vs. Trulicity with an 8% lower risk of MACE-3 events (HR: 0.92; 95.3% CI: 0.83 to 1.01), while delivering greater reductions in A1C and weight in adults with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease.2,3
EloraTZP symposium | Wednesday, September 30, 2026 | 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. CEST
This EASD-sponsored symposium on amylins in diabetes will feature Phase 2 results for eloraTZP, an investigational combination of eloralintide and tirzepatide, in adults with obesity or overweight and type 2 diabetes.
Foundayo (orforglipron) symposium | Thursday, October 1, 2026 | 8:30 to 9:15 a.m. CEST
This EASD-sponsored symposium will present Phase 3 results for Foundayo (orforglipron) across the ACHIEVE type 2 diabetes program.
ACHIEVE-4: Foundayo demonstrated non-inferiority versus insulin glargine, with a 16% lower risk of MACE-4 events (HR: 0.84; 95.0% CI: 0.59 to 1.20) and a 23% lower risk of MACE-3 events (HR: 0.77 95.0% CI: 0.52 to 1.13), in adults with type 2 diabetes and obesity or overweight at increased cardiovascular risk.2
Foundayo (orforglipron) Oral Presentations and Posters
ACHIEVE-2/ACHIEVE-3 Time-to-Goal Analysis: Foundayo 17.2 mg helped adults with type 2 diabetes reach their A1C target and body weight loss goals faster than dapagliflozin and oral semaglutide 7 mg and 14 mg.4
ATTAIN-1 Physical and Psychosocial Functioning: In adults with obesity or overweight and at least one weight-related medical problem, Foundayo improved both physical and psychosocial functioning versus placebo.
Zepbound and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) Oral Presentations and Posters
SURMOUNT-5 Exploratory Proteomic Findings: Zepbound 10 mg and 15 mg were associated with distinct changes in the plasma proteome compared with semaglutide 1.7 mg and 2.4 mg, offering early biological insight into the differences in cardiometabolic benefit observed between the two therapies in the head-to-head SURMOUNT-5 trial.
SURPASS-EARLY Pre-Specified Analysis: Mounjaro improved markers of beta cell function and insulin sensitivity in early type 2 diabetes.
Phase 4 T-RAM: Mounjaro helped adults with type 2 diabetes maintain glycemic control and was generally well-tolerated during Ramadan fasting.
EloraTZP Oral Presentations and Posters
EloraTZP Phase 1 Results: Adding eloralintide 3 mg to tirzepatide 5 mg led to 17% weight loss over 16 weeks versus 10% with tirzepatide 5 mg alone in adults with obesity or overweight.1
