  1. 01Eli Lilly said it will supply its triple GIP/GLP-1/glucagon agonist retatrutide to a limited number of patients outside clinical trials, with requests reviewed from health care providers.
  2. 02Retatrutide remains in Phase 3 for obesity, type 2 diabetes and obstructive sleep apnea; Lilly says patients should not take anything claiming to be retatrutide outside its trials, a warning aimed at gray-market copies.
  3. 03The company calls the program consistent with FDA expanded access guidance; no approval, pricing or volume figures have been disclosed, and eligibility is narrow.
