Patent No. EP3630164 (titled "Dulaglutide For The Treatment Of Chronic Kidney Disease") was filed by ELI Lilly on May 24, 2018. The application was issued on Aug 23, 2023.
Dulaglutide, a GLP-1R agonist, provides sustained and rapid attenuation of kidney disease progression in patients with stage 2-4 CKD. By targeting the GLP-1 receptor pathway, dulaglutide improves glycemic control, but its therapeutic effects extend beyond glycemic management. The treatment achieves significant renal function preservation, with a median time to renal death of 26 weeks compared to existing therapies, and cardiovascular benefits. Dulaglutide's mechanism of action enables sustained therapeutic effects beyond glycemic control, offering a novel treatment option for patients with CKD stage 2 or worse.

Patent oppositions filed by competitors challenge the validity of a granted patent. These oppositions are typically based on claims of prior art, lack of novelty, or non-obviousness. They are a key part of the process for determining a patent's strength and enforceability.
