Announcement

Novo Nordisk’s CagriSema weight-loss drug has stood up as a healthy competitor to the stubborn fat and other weight-loss drugs. CagriSema happens to be a competitor to GLP-1 Wegovy, as Wegovy has retained its position for a long time.

Proof

Novo’s CagriSema played a major part in the Phase 3 REIMAGINE 2 study, where around 2,700 adults with type 2 diabetes participated. The 2.4-mg dose of CagriSema was dosed through subcutaneous injections on a weekly basis. Later, Novo conducted a comparative test in the same-sized doses of semaglutide, the amylin analog cagrilintide, one with a placebo and another alone.

In week 68, the patient’s group dosed with 2.4 mg CagriSema were spotted with 1.91% of mitigation in HbA1c. This volume is a measure of the subtle blood sugar for previous months. Whereas, HbA1c patients with semaglutide witnessed 1.76% reduction and the placebo cohort 0.09% increase.

This was a clear indication that CagriSema been the strongest against semaglutide. This robust drug holds a lot of potential, but is not suited to most of Novo’s targets; maybe it's made for something more advanced. Last Novo used this drug in 2024 in its Phase 3 REDEFINE 1 study that showed 22.7% weight loss, and further, it was carried forward in a data analysis.

CagriSema is awaiting the approval

Without any second thought, CagriSema is a confirmed merger dose of long-responding amylin analog cagrilintide and GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide. Chief scientific officer of Novo Nordisk, Martin Holst Lange, said, “The approval of this drug will give a new and first-ever amylin-related combination therapy to the weight-loss management sector. The therapy will treat type 2 diabetes and weight-loss havoc.”

Novo has buckled up to bring an unmatched study of CagriSema to win over Eli Lilly’s tirzepatide. The readout for the same will announce the players and runner up in this quarter soon. The approval for the same will be like a cherry on the cake.
