The weight-loss market is heating up as a number of companies are looking for a way to upend the dominance of market leaders Novo Nordisk , Novo, and a smaller biotech prove that an oral option could be as effective as injectables, but Wall Street is waiting to see whether or not patients will prefer a daily pill to a weekly or monthly injectable.
