Maintaining healthy weight safely relies on proper lifestyle habits rather than artificial interventions
Scientists use it as a model compound to investigate strategies for improving the bioavailability, half-life, and tissue targeting of peptide therapeutics
While results may develop more gradually than with some aggressive treatments, the improvements tend to be more sustainable and come without the risk of long-term damage or irritation that can accompany harsher approaches
The NDA is based on results from REDEFINE 1, a 68-week, phase 3, randomised, double-blind, placebo-and active-controlled trial that evaluated the efficacy and safety of once-weekly, CagriSema compared to semaglutide 2.4 mg alone, cagrilintide 2.4 mg alone, or placebo, all as an adjunct to lifestyle intervention in 3,417 adults with obesity (BMI 30 kg/m2) or overweight (BMI 27 kg/m2) with one or more obesity-related complications and without diabetes, and REDEFINE 2, a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, 68-week, phase 3 trial that evaluated the efficacy and safety of once-weekly CagriSema versus placebo, as an adjunct to lifestyle intervention in 1,206 adults with type 2 diabetes and either obesity (BMI 30 kg/m2) or overweight (BMI 27 kg/m2)
