The New England journal of medicine ·

Human

What was studied?

This double-blind, randomized phase 3a trial compared CagriSema with placebo. Primary outcomes were weight change and the proportion losing at least 5%; glucose measures and safety were additional outcomes.

What changed?

Mean weight fell 13.7% versus 3.4%. More CagriSema recipients lost at least 5%. Glycated hemoglobin reached 6.5% or less in 73.5% versus 15.9%. Gastrointestinal events occurred in 72.5% versus 34.4%, mostly transient and mild or moderate.

Who was studied?

1206 adults with type 2 diabetes were randomized, 904 to CagriSema and 302 to placebo. Eligibility included BMI of at least 27 and glycated hemoglobin of 7–10%.

Studied exposure

Cagrilintide and semaglutide, 2.4 mg each once weekly, were compared with placebo for 68 weeks. Both groups received lifestyle intervention; the abstract does not specify route or starting doses.

What remains uncertain?

Study limitations were not stated in the abstract. Methodological quality has not been appraised.
