Cagrilintide Research Peptide

Explore Cagrilintide research, amylin signaling, weight-management trials, evidence limitations, and its distinction from the CagriSema combination.

TOPIC OVERVIEW

About Cagrilintide

Identity and names

Cagrilintide is a long-acting amylin analogue developed under the code AM833. Cagrilintide alone and CagriSema are different interventions.

Compound type

It is an engineered peptide analogue of amylin, a hormone involved in meal-related physiology and appetite regulation.

Mechanism

Research investigates amylin-receptor signaling and effects on appetite and energy intake. It is not a GLP-1 receptor agonist.

Research focus and evidence

Randomized studies include dose-finding weight-management research and trials evaluating coadministration with semaglutide. Outcomes depend on the intervention and study population.

Regulatory status and limits

Investigational trial results should not be treated as approval of research-market preparations. Regulatory status must be checked for the specific formulation and indication.

Topics covered
  • amylin signaling
  • monotherapy trials
  • CagriSema comparisons
  • weight-management evidence
Common names and related terms: Cagrilintide, AM833, AM-833
RESEARCH SUMMARY

What Is Cagrilintide?

LAST VERIFIEDOctober 7, 2026

A randomized phase 2 trial evaluated once-weekly cagrilintide against placebo and liraglutide in adults with overweight or obesity. It provides human dose-finding evidence rather than a general recommendation for research preparations. Lau et al., phase 2 randomized trial

REDEFINE 1 studied cagrilintide and semaglutide together and separately. Results for the combination cannot be assigned to cagrilintide alone or to products with different composition. Garvey et al., REDEFINE 1
