CagriSema for Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity
(REDEFINE 2 Trial)
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?
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.
