Oral Semaglutide 50 mg Taken Once per Day in Adults with Overweight or Obesity (OASIS 1): a Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 3 Trial
Lancet. 2023. DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(23)01185-6
Oral semaglutide 7 mg and 14 mg once-daily are approved for the treatment of T2D and improve glycaemic control with accompanying body weight reductions. A higher dose of once-daily oral semaglutide 50 mg is currently being investigated for the treatment of obesity in people with overweight or obesity, and for glycaemic control in people with T2D. The OASIS 1 trial assessed once-daily oral semaglutide 50 mg in adults with overweight or obesity, without T2D.

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
Lancet. 2023. DOI: 10.1016/ S0140-6736(23)01163-7
Combining the GLP-1 RA semaglutide with the long-acting amylin analogue cagrilintide has been shown to have weight-loss benefits. However, the impact of the combination of cagrilintide and semaglutide (CagriSema) on HbA1c is unknown. In a 32-week, double-blind, phase 2 trial, 92 adults with T2D and a BMI ≥27 kg/m2 on metformin, with or without an SGLT2i, were randomised to once-weekly subcutaneous CagriSema, semaglutide or cagrilintide (all escalated to 2.4 mg).
