A big early-2026 signal in obesity is the continued shift toward scalable, patient-friendly oral therapies, and the partnerships forming to get there. The move: Nimbus and Lilly have signed an AI-led research and licensing agreement to develop new oral obesity treatments. The money: $55m upfront + near-term milestones, with up to $1.3bn in additional milestones, plus royalties on global sales if approved. The why: The focus is an easy-to-take pill alternative to injectable GLP-1s, in a market projected to exceed $150bn annually by the early 2030s.
