Cagrilintide

Novo Nordisk's long-acting amylin analogue for weight management, potent when combined, modest as monotherapy.

Verdict, C · Emerging / Mixed

Amylin analogue with a clean mechanistic rationale and reasonable safety in trials, but the real story is in combination. Standalone approval is unlikely; wait for CagriSema data and a licensed supply path.

Overview

Cagrilintide is a long-acting amylin analogue designed for weekly subcutaneous dosing, studied both as monotherapy and in combination with semaglutide (CagriSema). Phase-2 monotherapy data showed approximately 10-11% weight loss, while the combination shows markedly greater effect. It has not received regulatory approval as a standalone compound, and no verified consumer supply exists.
