MT Newswires Live07-26

Novo Nordisk (NVO) said Thursday the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use adopted a positive opinion on an update to Wegovy's label, reflecting risk reduction of major adverse cardiovascular events.

The update is based on trial data showing Wegovy significantly reduced the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, such as cardiovascular death, nonfatal heart attack or nonfatal stroke, by 20% in adults with cardiovascular disease who are either overweight or obese and without diabetes, the company said.

The label update will also include reduced risk of heart failure composite endpoint, cardiovascular death or death from any cause, the company said.

Novo Nordisk expects the label update to be implemented in about a month.

The company's shares fell 1.4% in recent trading Thursday.
