What’s Happening at Eli Lilly and Company (LLY)’s Pipeline? Early Signals Emerge Rameen Kasana Thu, June 18, 2026 at 10:08 AM GMT+2 2 min read LLY Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY ) is among the stocks with the best earnings growth for the next 3 years . On June 15, Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY) shared new data from the Phase 1 AJX-101 study.

The study showed that an investigational type II JAK2 inhibitor delivered an “encouraging” safety profile, demonstrating clinical activity in patients living with myelofibrosis who have failed a type I JAK2 inhibitor. The therapy is aimed at selectively binding the type II conformation of the JAK2 kinase, thus providing improved efficacy over current solutions. It will also offer a new option for patients who develop resistance to type I JAK2 inhibitors.

This addition follows the completion of the acquisition.

This comes after the company reported full data from retatrutide’s TRIUMPH-1 obesity study and TRANSCEND-T2D-1 study.

Despite some safety concerns, which the firm believes are manageable, the retatrutide’s overall profile “will be difficult to beat,” the firm said.
