They did look at the weaker than expected sales for its new Wegovy pill, and they're more focused on what the answer that the company has is to this question of the expirations of the patents for the company's key drugs. ''</p><p>'''So the name of the game now really is the medicines that Novo Nordisk is testing right now in trials.

He says the answer is to move faster in research. He's been at the helm of the company now for a year. And he said one of the important steps he took was to combine research and development under one executive, and that that is helping that department move faster with trials. And he continues to say that failures are part of the pharmaceutical industry, that, trials are run with risks and so this is not unusual and they just have to keep moving. He said that it's important for Novo to stick to its strategy of bolt-on acquisitions to complement its own research and development. And he stressed that a transformational acquisition, a big merger, is not something on his agenda and that's for companies that have big problems.''</p></body>
