```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PATTERN 1: UNMET MEDICAL NEED FIRST │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Every Lilly medicine begins with understanding the patient's journey. │
│ │
│ • Obesity: Not lifestyle choice but chronic disease requiring treatment │
│ • Alzheimer's: Devastating impact on patients, caregivers, families │
│ • Cancer: Extending life while maintaining quality of life │
│ • Diabetes: Preventing complications, simplifying management │
│ │
│ "We don't make medicines to maintain market share. We make medicines │
│ that change the standard of care." - David Ricks, CEO │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PATTERN 2: SCIENTIFIC RIGOR WITH SPEED │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 150 years of pharmaceutical innovation demands both quality and urgency. │
│ │
│ • Phase 3 trials designed for regulatory success AND real-world utility │
│ • Surrogate endpoints validated against hard outcomes │
│ • Parallel regulatory submissions (FDA, EMA, PMDA, NMPA) │
│ • Post-marketing studies to generate real-world evidence │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PATTERN 3: COMPETITIVE DYNAMICS │

│ │
│ • Tirzepatide (dual GIP/GLP-1) vs. Semaglutide (GLP-1) │
│ • Head-to-head SURMOUNT-5: Zepbound 47% greater weight loss than Wegovy │
│ • Pipeline depth: Oral orforglipron, triple-agonist retatrutide │
│ • Manufacturing scale as competitive moat (LEAP program) │
