Novo Nordisk A/S: Data på CagriSema i fase 3 (REDEFINE)
-
Novo Nordisk A/S: CagriSema 2.4 mg / 2.4 mg demonstrated 22.7% mean weight reduction in adults with overweight or obesity in REDEFINE 1, published in New England Journal of Medicine
Data presented simultaneously at the American Diabetes Association's
85th Scientific Sessions, showed mean weight reduction in the highest range of efficacy observed with existing weight loss interventions1
When adhering to treatment, weight loss of ≥5%, ≥20%, ≥25%, and ≥30% was observed in 97.6%, 60.2%, 40.4% and 23.1% of patients respectively at 68 weeks1*
The REDEFINE clinical programme is ongoing to further investigate efficacy and safety of CagriSema, including recently initiated REDEFINE 112Bagsværd, Denmark, 22 June - Today, The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published results from Novo Nordisk's phase 3 REDEFINE 1 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of investigational CagriSema plus lifestyle interventions for weight loss in adults with obesity or overweight who have a weight-related medical complication and without diabetes.1 REDEFINE 1 met its co-primary endpoints and achieved statistically significant and clinically meaningful weight loss at 68 weeks in patients taking CagriSema versus placebo.1 These data, along with the related phase 3 REDEFINE 2 study conducted in adults with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes, were presented today during a scientific symposium at the American Diabetes Association's (ADA) 85th Scientific Sessions and published in NEJM.
"In REDEFINE 1, participants saw significant and clinically meaningful weight loss under a protocol that allowed investigators to maintain patients on a submaximal dose if deemed best for the patient. We also witnessed low, single-digit discontinuation rates due to adverse events in both REDEFINE 1 and 2," said Martin Holst Lange, executive vice president and head of Development at Novo Nordisk. "These results reinforce our confidence in CagriSema, and we continue to study the potential of this combination through the REDEFINE trials."
CagriSema is an investigational product that combines the GLP-1 RA, semaglutide, with an amylin analogue, cagrilintide. The REDEFINE 1 trial found that treatment with CagriSema resulted in greater weight loss of 22.7% at 68 weeks versus 2.3% in the placebo group if all patients adhered to treatment.1* When evaluating the treatment effect regardless of adherence, those treated with CagriSema achieved statistically significant weight loss of 20.4% at 68 weeks versus 3.0% for the placebo group.1** In addition, a supportive secondary analysis showed that half (50.7%) of trial participants with obesity treated with CagriSema reached the threshold for non-obesity (BMI < 30 kg/m2) at the end of treatment, from a mean BMI of 38 kg/m2 at the start of treatment. In the placebo group,10.2% reached that threshold at 68 weeks.1
Select confirmatory secondary endpoints showed that if all participants adhered to treatment 40.4% of those receiving CagriSema achieved a body weight reduction of ≥25%.* Additionally, 23.1% lost ≥30% of their body weight.1* When applying the treatment policy estimand, 34.7% of participants treated with CagriSema achieved ≥25% body-weight reduction and 19.3% achieved ≥30% body-weight reduction.1** In a prespecified analysis of 252 participants, the relative reduction in fat and lean soft-tissue mass from baseline to week 68 was -35.7% (fat mass) and -14.4% (lean soft-tissue mass) for those treated with CagriSema versus -5.7% and -4.3% for the placebo group, respectively.1
"In REDEFINE 1, CagriSema provided weight loss in the highest range of efficacy observed with existing weight loss interventions," said lead investigator Timothy Garvey, MD, professor of medicine and director of the Diabetes Research Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. "Investigators were allowed some flexibility in dose adjustments to balance efficacy and safety, but regardless of dose adjustments participants lost significant weight. These findings are relatable to clinical practice, where dosing is often adjusted based on individual needs and clinical judgement."
Safety data generated in the REDEFINE 1 and 2 trials were comparable with the GLP-1 RA class. Overall, discontinuation rates due to adverse events were low, with 6% for CagriSema versus 3.7% for placebo in REDEFINE 1 and 8.4% with CagriSema versus 3% with placebo in REDEFINE 2.1,3 In REDEFINE 1, adverse events were mainly gastrointestinal (79.6% in the CagriSema group vs. 39.9% with placebo), including nausea (55% vs. 12.6 %), constipation (30.7% vs. 11.6%), vomiting (26.1% vs. 4.1%) and were mostly transient and mild-to-moderate in severity.1
Results from REDEFINE 2, a phase 3 study that evaluated the efficacy and safety of CagriSema plus lifestyle interventions in adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D), were also simultaneously presented during a scientific symposium at the ADA's Scientific Sessions and published in NEJM.3 In REDEFINE 2, if all participants adhered to treatment, the estimated mean change in body weight from baseline to week 68 was -15.7% with CagriSema versus -3.1% with placebo.3* When applying the treatment policy estimand, the estimated mean change in body weight from baseline to week 68 was -13.7% with CagriSema versus -3.4% with placebo.3** A greater proportion of participants receiving CagriSema, compared with placebo, reduced their body weight by >5% (83.6% vs. 30.8% of participants), ≥10% (65.6% vs. 10.3%), ≥15% (43.9% vs. 2.4%), and ≥20% (22.9% vs. 0.5%;).3 The safety results from CagriSema in REDEFINE 2 were similar to those reported in REDEFINE 1.3
The REDEFINE clinical programme will continue to assess the efficacy and safety of CagriSema. Most recently, Novo Nordisk initiated the REDEFINE 11 trial with the first patient visit occurring in early June 2025. REDEFINE 11 will explore further weight loss potential and safety of CagriSema 2.4 mg / 2.4 mg through a longer trial duration and other protocol changes compared to REDEFINE 1 and 2.

About CagriSema
CagriSema is being investigated by Novo Nordisk as a once-weekly subcutaneous injectable treatment for adults with overweight or obesity (REDEFINE programme) and as a treatment for adults with type 2 diabetes (REIMAGINE programme). CagriSema is a fixed-dose combination of a long-acting amylin analogue, cagrilintide 2.4 mg and semaglutide 2.4 mg.About the REDEFINE clinical trial programme
REDEFINE is a phase 3 clinical development programme with once-weekly subcutaneous CagriSema in obesity. REDEFINE 1 and REDEFINE 2 have enrolled approximately 4,600 adults with overweight or obesity. REDEFINE 1 was a double-blind, placebo-and active-controlled 68-week efficacy and safety phase 3 trial of once-weekly CagriSema, cagrilintide 2.4 mg and semaglutide 2.4 mg versus placebo in 3,417 adults with obesity or overweight with one or more comorbidities and without type 2 diabetes. REDEFINE 2 was a double-blind, randomized, placebo- and controlled 68-week efficacy and safety phase 3 trial of once-weekly CagriSema versus placebo in 1,206 adults with type 2 diabetes and either obesity or overweight.Multiple REDEFINE clinical trials are currently underway including: REDEFINE 3, an event-driven cardiovascular outcomes phase 3 trial; REDEFINE 4 an 84-week head-to-head efficacy and safety phase 3 trial of once-weekly CagriSema versus once-weekly tirzepatide; and REDEFINE 11, a phase 3 trial with longer duration and other protocol changes compared to REDEFINE 1 and 2.
About obesity
Obesity is a serious chronic, progressive, and complex disease that requires long-term management.4-6 One key misunderstanding is that this is a disease of just lack of willpower, when in fact there is underlying biology that may impede people with obesity from losing weight and keeping it off.4,6 Obesity is influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, social determinants of health, and the environment.7,8About Novo Nordisk

.. Så er det blot et spørgsmål, hvor meget Iran fylder i morgen. Normalt vil det her give + 5 procent nordpå, men med toldsatser på vej, plus ballade i Hormuz, vil reaktionen nok være mere behersket. Men enig, nyhedsflow fra NN. denne weekend har været ganske flot og bør give anledning til optimisme på den længere bane.

Et andet syn på CagriSema:
https://bsky.app/profile/rnflex.bsky.social/post/3ls7dubjfdk2u
Underwhelmed by this data.
High rates of nausea and vomiting compared to tirzepatide. Weight loss is the same. No real drop in LDL cholesterol. Nice reductions in A1c and triglycerides. But yeah. By the time Novo gets this to market it'll be competing with retatrutide and that's not good for Novo -
Dont worry, be Happy pille eller pen mangler fortsat at blive udviklet! Vi må begynde at se mere på bivirkningsprofiler og kostprogrammer, end på fedme data! Så i dag en wegowy bruger, der på 6 måneder er gået fra + moden smuk kvinde til nær KZ- fange. Svaret var Motion, Wegowy, sex og kost!..

Retatrutide har de samme bivirkninger som CagriSema. Først når den endelige vurdering på bivirkningsgraden kommer til efteråret kan der gøres en reel sammenligning mellem de to midler.
Med hensyn til LDL er det hjerte-karmæssigt langt vigtigere med stærk effekt på triglycerid.
