Why this exists

The GLP-1 / incretin landscape is moving fast. There are many trials (we’re tracking hundreds), drugs with new mechanisms of action, label expansions, supply and manufacturing updates, and a growing cast of competitors. GLP-1 Observer saves you time in keeping current. All material is cited so you can dive deeper when you want to.

Help us evolve

What would make this indispensable for you?

Reply to any email or comment - we’re very interested in your feedback and thoughts on what would make this useful for you.

Why it’s free

The newsletter will remain free. We want to learn from readers and refine coverage. Long-term, we may add paid tools (e.g., a trials dashboard with analytics), but this weekly brief stays our foundation.
