Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial requires that your current diabetes medications remain stable for at least 90 days before joining. So, you should not stop taking them if you want to participate.

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug CagriSema for Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity?

Research shows that combining semaglutide with cagrilintide (CagriSema) has weight-loss benefits, and semaglutide alone has been effective in providing significant and sustained weight loss in obesity, which can help manage type 2 diabetes. Additionally, oral semaglutide has been shown to improve blood sugar control and reduce body weight in patients with type 2 diabetes.12345

Is CagriSema safe for humans?

Semaglutide, a component of CagriSema, has been shown to be generally safe in humans, with the most common side effects being temporary stomach issues. It has been tested in people with type 2 diabetes and obesity, and no new safety concerns have been raised in recent trials.36789

What makes the drug CagriSema unique for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity?

CagriSema combines semaglutide, a drug that helps with weight loss and reduces insulin resistance, with cagrilintide, an amylin agonist that enhances weight loss. This combination aims to provide greater and more sustained weight loss than semaglutide alone, offering a novel approach to managing type 2 diabetes and obesity.210111213

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests if the new medicine CagriSema can help people with excess body weight and type 2 diabetes lose weight. Participants will receive either CagriSema or another treatment. The study will last about a year and a half. Cagrilintide and semaglutide are both being investigated for weight management.

Findings from Research

In a 32-week trial with 92 participants, the combination of semaglutide and cagrilintide (CagriSema) led to a significant reduction in HbA1c levels compared to cagrilintide alone, indicating improved glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
CagriSema also resulted in greater weight loss compared to both semaglutide and cagrilintide, demonstrating its potential as an effective treatment option for managing weight and blood sugar levels in this population.

Semaglutide, a once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, has been shown to achieve significant and sustained weight loss in individuals with obesity, surpassing results from previous weight-loss medications, and has been approved for use alongside diet and exercise.
Emerging treatments like tirzepatide and cagrilintide are demonstrating even greater weight loss effects than semaglutide, indicating a shift towards more effective 'weight-centric' strategies for managing obesity and related conditions like type 2 diabetes.

Oral semaglutide (Rybelsus®) has been shown to provide better glycaemic control and promote weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) compared to standard oral glucose-lowering medications, based on data from the PIONEER clinical trial program involving 9543 patients.
The safety profile of oral semaglutide is similar to other GLP-1 receptor agonists, and it demonstrated cardiovascular safety comparable to placebo in high-risk patients, making it a viable option for T2DM management.
