What happened

FDA approved tirzepatide to reduce MACE in adults with type 2 diabetes at cardiovascular risk. The claim rests on SURPASS-CVOT against dulaglutide, an active comparator, with an 8% relative reduction. First label expansion for Mounjaro.

What it means for practice

good news for a large group of patients, and the first incretin label written on hard cardiovascular outcomes. The non-diabetic trials are the ones to watch next; if they land, the conversation in longevity clinics changes.
