Eli Lilly Drug Pipeline

Data updated: May 20, 2026

222 active trials across 15 therapeutic areas

Eli Lilly maintains a substantial clinical portfolio, with 219 active trials out of 1493 total registered since 2008. The active pipeline spans from Phase 1 through Phase 4, with 71, 52, 93, and 10 trials respectively. These trials cover 15 therapeutic areas, but are heavily concentrated in Oncology, which accounts for 51% of active programs (111 trials). Metabolic diseases represent the next largest focus with 76 active trials, followed by Immunology (29), CNS (22), Pain (6), and Cardiovascular (5). Within Oncology, the greatest activity is in Solid Tumor (Advanced) indications, with 34 active trials including 7 in Phase 3. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is another key area within Oncology, with 17 active trials, 6 of which are in Phase 3. Breast Cancer (8 active, 3 Ph3), Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (7 active), and Pancreatic Cancer (4 active) also feature in the portfolio. The weighting toward Phase 3 trials in Oncology suggests a focus on near-term clinical catalysts in this therapeutic area.
