Official-source update

Reviewed 2026-09-19 · Preserved version 1

The monotherapy study used a pooled placebo group

NCT03856047 enrolled 706 participants and tested five cagrilintide groups plus liraglutide over 26 weeks. The six corresponding placebo groups were pooled for analysis; they are not six independent confirmatory studies. NCT03856047 ↗

More findings and the sources behind them

Selected sponsor-submitted ClinicalTrials.gov records retrieved September 19, 2026, with design, population, endpoint and result-availability checks. This does not complete a registry search or replace primary-publication appraisal.

Observed weight changes and modeled comparisons differ

The posted primary table reports mean weight changes of −6.1% to −10.8% across cagrilintide groups and −3.0% for pooled placebo. Its descriptive values use the in-trial period, while statistical comparisons use treatment-adherent data and missing-data methods; these estimates should not be mixed. NCT03856047 ↗

CagriSema evidence concerns a combination

NCT04982575 enrolled 92 participants with type 2 diabetes and compared combination therapy with its individual components. Its primary comparison was 32-week HbA1c change for cagrilintide plus semaglutide versus semaglutide, not proof that cagrilintide alone produced the combination’s result. NCT04982575 ↗

An outcome denominator is not total enrollment

The combination study’s primary registry table includes 30 evaluable participants in each of the two compared groups, within a three-arm trial. Its selected diabetes population and background medication also differ from the monotherapy weight study. NCT04982575 ↗

What remains to be checked

  • Appraise later monotherapy and CagriSema reports separately, including discontinuation and safety denominators.
  • Reconcile primary-paper estimates with the registry’s in-trial versus treatment-adherent analyses.
