CagriSema

Novo Nordisk's fixed-dose amylin + GLP-1 combo in phase-3 REDEFINE — up to 22% weight loss in early data.

Verdict — C · Emerging / Mixed

Additive amylin+GLP-1 mechanism with strong early data, but no approval and the REDEFINE-1 readout was mixed vs expectations in 2024. Gray-market material is unverifiable. A C pending a decisive phase-3 read.

Overview

CagriSema is a fixed-dose combination of cagrilintide (long-acting amylin analogue) and semaglutide 2.4 mg in phase-3 REDEFINE trials. Early phase-2 results showed approximately 15-22% weight loss, exceeding semaglutide alone. Neither component is approved as a combination, and no verified supply exists outside the clinical program.
