INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 15, 2021 — Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) is providing extensive updates across its research and development (R&D) programs to highlight the company’s strong pipeline and potential for future growth. At an investment community meeting today, the company is sharing key information across its four therapeutic areas – including pipeline updates and future R&D investments – along with 2022 financial guidance and updated 2021 guidance.
The company is on track to meet its goal of launching 20 new medicines over the 10-year period from 2014 to 2023. Over the last eight years, Lilly has delivered 16 new medicines and plans to launch five more medicines over the next two years, if approved, including tirzepatide, donanemab, pirtobrutinib, lebrikizumab and mirikizumab. These potential launches contribute to the company’s expectations for top-tier, volume-driven growth over the next decade, as the number of people that can benefit from Lilly’s innovative new medicines continues to increase.
“Lilly’s accomplishments in recent years are impressive, but it’s where we are going that most excites us. We’ve driven results over the last four years, successfully launched new medicines, and invested in high-impact R&D that has set us up for a truly exciting new era,” said David A. Ricks, Lilly’s chairman and CEO. “Bringing new practice-changing medicines to patients is our top priority. We have a remarkable opportunity ahead of us to make life better for millions more people around the world.”

Lilly also will provide insight into its ongoing R&D investments that reflect the company’s conviction around key emerging trends in biopharma innovation.
“I’m very optimistic about the future for Lilly and the patients we serve. In addition to our promising late-stage pipeline, our labs are making new discoveries to bring life-changing medicines to patients who need them,” said Daniel Skovronsky, M.D., Ph.D., Lilly’s chief scientific and medical officer, and president of Lilly Research Laboratories. “Lilly has significantly improved our development speed and clinical success rates and will continue to apply this focus as we work to maximize the impact of our existing medicines and create new ones.
“Genetic medicines, including modalities such as RNA therapeutics and viral-delivered gene therapies, are poised to contribute to the next generation of breakthrough treatments for a wide array of diseases,” Skovronsky continued. “Today, Lilly will share more about our new capabilities and increased investment in this space, along with new preclinical and clinical data for genetic medicines in our neuroscience and cardiovascular disease research portfolios.”
