Studies this site relies on

Ordered by strength of design. Conclusions are quoted verbatim from each abstract as indexed by PubMed; read the full paper before relying on any of them.

  1. Phase 3 trial N Engl J Med · 2025 PMID 40544433

    Coadministered Cagrilintide and Semaglutide in Adults with Overweight or Obesity

    Garvey WT, Blüher M, Osorto Contreras CK, et al.

    Cagrilintide-semaglutide provided significant and clinically relevant body-weight reductions in adults with overweight or obesity, as compared with placebo. (Funded by Novo Nordisk; REDEFINE 1 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT05567796.).

  2. Phase 3 trial N Engl J Med · 2025 PMID 40544432

    Cagrilintide-Semaglutide in Adults with Overweight or Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes

    Davies MJ, Bajaj HS, Broholm C, et al.

    Once-weekly cagrilintide-semaglutide (at a dose of 2.4 mg each) resulted in a significantly lower body weight than placebo in adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes. (Funded by Novo Nordisk; REDEFINE 2 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT05394519.).

  3. Phase 2 trial Lancet · 2023 PMID 37364590

    Efficacy and safety of co-administered once-weekly cagrilintide 2·4 mg with once-weekly semaglutide 2·4 mg in type 2 diabetes: a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, active-controlled, phase 2 trial

    Frias JP, Deenadayalan S, Erichsen L, et al.

    In people with type 2 diabetes, treatment with CagriSema resulted in clinically relevant improvements in glycaemic control (including CGM parameters). The mean change in HbA1c with CagriSema was greater versus cagrilintide, but not versus semaglutide. Treatment with CagriSema resulted in significantly greater weight loss versus …

  4. Phase 2 trial Lancet · 2021 PMID 34798060

    Once-weekly cagrilintide for weight management in people with overweight and obesity: a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled and active-controlled, dose-finding phase 2 trial

    Lau DCW, Erichsen L, Francisco AM, et al.

    Treatment with cagrilintide in people with overweight and obesity led to significant reductions in bodyweight and was well tolerated. The findings support the development of molecules with novel mechanisms of action for weight management.

  5. Phase 1 trial Lancet · 2021 PMID 33894838

    Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of concomitant administration of multiple doses of cagrilintide with semaglutide 2·4 mg for weight management: a randomised, controlled, phase 1b trial

    Enebo LB, Berthelsen KK, Kankam M, et al.

    Concomitant treatment with cagrilintide and semaglutide 2·4 mg was well tolerated with an acceptable safety profile. Future larger and longer trials are needed to fully assess the efficacy and safety of this treatment combination.

Clinical-trial publications in PubMed

15 records carry PubMed’s clinical-trial publication type. Tagging is done by NLM indexers and occasionally includes secondary analyses.
