Roche Aims to Build Affordable, Tolerable Obesity Drug Portfolio: Genentech CEO

New York: Roche's Ashley Magargee, chief executive of its Genentech unit, said on Monday the company is striving to build a ‌portfolio ⁠of ⁠obesity medicines that are both tolerable in terms of side effects and affordable.

"A ​lot of patients are dropping off therapy for ​various reasons," said Magargee, ⁠speaking at ‌the Reuters ​Pharma ​USA 2026 event in Philadelphia, ⁠pointing to long-term weight maintenance and ​combination therapies for people ​who are not responding to just one medicine as two areas of focus.

"How can you not ‌just get these new medicines to patients, but also, ​how ​can ⁠you get an affordable portfolio of medicines to treat all the needs ​across the patient population now?" she said.
