TOPIC OVERVIEW

About CagriSema

Identity and names

CagriSema denotes a development combination of cagrilintide and semaglutide. It is not another name for either component alone.

Compound type

The combination contains an amylin analogue and a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Trial formulations should be distinguished from separately sourced materials.

Mechanism

The two components engage different receptor systems involved in appetite and metabolic regulation. Mechanistic complementarity does not itself establish a clinical outcome.

Research focus and evidence

Clinical evidence includes an early coadministration study and randomized phase 3 weight-management research. Population, comparator, treatment duration, and analysis method matter.

Regulatory status and limits

Regulatory conclusions apply to a specific authorized product and indication. Published trial results do not validate unapproved mixtures or establish a self-directed protocol.

Topics covered
  • combination identity
  • REDEFINE trials
  • component comparisons
  • clinical safety and limitations
Common names and related terms: CagriSema, Cagrilintide semaglutide, Cagrilintide + Semaglutide
RESEARCH SUMMARY

What Is CagriSema?

LAST VERIFIEDOctober 7, 2026

An early randomized phase 1b study assessed cagrilintide alongside semaglutide, including safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamic outcomes. It evaluated a defined clinical intervention under study supervision. Enebo et al., randomized phase 1b trial

The phase 3 REDEFINE 1 study found greater body-weight reduction with the combination than placebo in its enrolled population. Those results concern the trial intervention, not any mixture carrying the CagriSema name. Garvey et al., REDEFINE 1

Primary sources: ClinicalTrials.gov (defined search)Checked October 7, 2026. Counts include interventional registry records with an explicit matching intervention name or alias; broad search results, biomarker-only observations, and unrelated compounds are excluded. Active includes recruiting, not yet recruiting, active not recruiting, and enrolling by invitation. PubMed is the linked title/abstract query count, not a number of clinical trials or a measure of evidence quality. Combination counts require both cagrilintide and semaglutide in the same registry record; monotherapy arms may coexist in those trials.

Registry status does not establish safety, efficacy, or regulatory approval.
