PLAINSBORO, N.J., Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Novo Nordisk today announced the presentation of 21 abstracts (7 oral and 14 short oral presentations) at the upcoming 60th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), which will take place in Madrid, Spain September 9-13, 2024.

"Cardiometabolic conditions like diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular and kidney disease, all result from closely interlinked underlying risk factors and are among the most significant health challenges society faces today. Tailored treatment options that aim to holistically address these conditions are therefore needed," said Martin Holst Lange, executive vice president and head of Development at Novo Nordisk. "At EASD this year, we are showcasing new data from across our diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular and renal pipeline and portfolio, where we continue to push boundaries with the goal of advancing treatments in order to help more patients."

Summary of presentations:

Accepted data at the 60th Annual Meeting of the EASD include the following oral and short oral presentations. Accepted abstracts include preliminary data that may be subject to change in final published manuscripts. Dates and times of the presentations and the abstracts can be found on the EASD website.
