Pfizer said it would end development of its experimental daily weight loss pill after a patient experienced a liver injury that was potentially caused by the drug in a trial.
The patient’s liver enzymes “recovered rapidly” after they stopped taking the pill, which is an oral GLP-1 drug called danuglipron.
The patient had elevated liver enzymes, which often indicate damage to cells in the liver, but did not experience any liver-related symptoms or side effects, a Pfizer spokesperson told CNBC.
The announcement adds to a string of setbacks in the company’s bid to win a slice of the booming market for GLP-1s, which mimic gut hormones to tamp down appetite and regulate blood sugar.

They were given immunity in Federal lawsuits, but apparently individual STATES’ AGs are stepping up to sue the bastards!.........
OK you win the thread!
Statin drugs are known to do the same thing. Why haven't they been scrapped?
They are killing people slowly..........Just the way BG likes it.........................
Most statins are available as generics, so Big Pharma is working hard to create new drugs that restore their profit margin.
Asinine response. This one patient might be an outlier . Check to see if there was something odd about his liver and if the others do not have that problem resume the testing.
Livers are not livers. 20% of citizens have a fatty liver. Their livers react differently than the others.
Money.
Probably stopped by their legal department.............
Yes, GLP-1s do a remarkable job controlling A1C levels in Type 2 patients. It's possible for a drug to treat multiple indications however, and weight loss is another indication that has received FDA approval for some of the GLP-1 medicines.
