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).
