Cagrilintide

Cagrilintide is a long-acting synthetic analog of human amylin, a peptide hormone co-secreted with insulin by pancreatic beta cells. It is being developed by Novo Nordisk both as a standalone agent and in fixed-dose combination with semaglutide (CagriSema). The CagriSema combination targets complementary appetite pathways — amylin acts on hindbrain satiety circuits while GLP-1 acts on hypothalamic and gut pathways. In the REDEFINE Phase 3 program, CagriSema achieved 20.4% weight loss at 68 weeks. Novo Nordisk filed for FDA approval in 2026.

Dosage and protocol

How it is typically studied.

Cagrilintide is a long-acting amylin analog developed by Novo Nordisk, designed for once-weekly subcutaneous injection. Clinical trials have studied doses from 0.3mg to 4.5mg weekly. It is being developed as a standalone obesity treatment and in combination with semaglutide (CagriSema). Half-life supports weekly dosing.

Evidence

What the studies actually show.

1

CagriSema Reduces Blood Pressure in Adults With Overweight or Obesity: REDEFINE 1.

CagriSema reduced systolic BP by 10.9 mmHg versus 2.8 mmHg with placebo at week 68.

2

Coadministered Cagrilintide and Semaglutide in Adults with Overweight or Obesity.

Cagrilintide-semaglutide achieved 20.4% weight loss vs 3.0% placebo in adults with overweight/obesity.

3

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

Cagrilintide-semaglutide reduced body weight by 13.7% vs 3.4% placebo in type 2 diabetes.

4

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.

Cagrilintide reduced weight 6.0-10.8% vs 3.0% placebo; superior to liraglutide at highest dose.

5

Cagrilintide is not associated with clinically relevant QTc prolongation: A thorough QT study in healthy participants.

Cagrilintide 4.5 mg did not produce clinically relevant QTc prolongation or increased arrhythmia risk.
