D CEO Healthcare Breakfast:

The Brave New World of GLP-1s

GLP-1s are all the rage today, and the medication is in high demand for patients who have Type II diabetes and are looking for weight loss solutions. The medication is being publicized for weight loss by people like Oprah Winfrey and Kelly Clarkson, and other coverage is suggesting its ability to improve different conditions beyond weight, including addiction and mental health. The drug has made Novo Nordisk Europe’s most valuable company and will likely become the world’s first trillion-dollar pharmaceutical company.

But like most “miracle drugs,” there are unintended challenges. They are relatively expensive, and as they become more in demand and are prescribed for more diagnoses, they could bankrupt payers like Medicare and employers who subsidize their employees’ healthcare. Additionally, there isn’t longitudinal data on the long-term impact of these drugs, and research shows that as soon as people are off the medication, they gain the weight back. But if people can use the medication to lose weight while changing their lifestyle to keep it off when they are off the drug, it could be a game changer.

Join D CEO on August 22 for an engaging and insightful discussion with C-suite leaders providing perspectives from the physician, insurance, employer, and pharmacy point of view to discuss the challenges and opportunities in the world of GLP-1s.

Tickets to the in-person event are $60.

Breakfast will be provided.
