Research
A systematic review and metanalysis of cagrisema, published in 2024, found that cagrisema may provide weight loss benefits.[7]
Novo Nordisk announced late at the 2025 European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) annual meeting that in the "REDEFINE 1". study, cagrilintide provided clinically significant weight loss, with a mean reduction in body weight of 11.8% compared to 2.3% with placebo after 68 weeks, considering adherence of all participants to treatment. In addition, approximately 1 in 3 participants (31.6%) who received cagrilintide achieved a weight loss ≥15%, compared to approximately 1 in 20 participants (4.7%) who received placebo.[8]
