CagriSema: trials, results, and current status.

Also searched as cagrilintide + semaglutide · REDEFINE 1 · REIMAGINE 1-3

CagriSema is Novo Nordisk’s investigational fixed-dose combination of cagrilintide and semaglutide. An FDA application is under review after Phase 3 weight-management results, and June 2026 REIMAGINE results add three Phase 3 type 2 diabetes trials. The sponsor projects a Q4 2026 FDA decision, but that window is not an approval or a firm agency action date.

Regulatory status

Is CagriSema FDA approved yet?

No. Novo Nordisk submitted a CagriSema application to the FDA on December 18, 2025, but submission and review are not approval. The sponsor's projected fourth-quarter 2026 decision window is not a firm agency action date, an approved label, a launch date, or proof of current pharmacy availability.

Trial percentages are kept beside the design details that make them interpretable. Unknowns stay visible instead of being filled with launch speculation.

Supported
01

Pivotal Phase 3 evidence is available

In REDEFINE 1, Novo Nordisk reported 22.7% mean weight loss with CagriSema versus 2.3% with placebo at 68 weeks under the trial-product estimand. This estimand asks what happened if all participants adhered to randomized treatment; real-world discontinuation can produce a different result.

02

The FDA application was filed

Novo Nordisk submitted a New Drug Application on December 18, 2025 for once-weekly CagriSema 2.4 mg/2.4 mg for chronic weight management in specified adults. Filing starts a review process; it does not mean the FDA has approved the medicine.

03

The development program continues

ClinicalTrials.gov records show additional Phase 3 work on cardiovascular outcomes and long-term weight maintenance. The evidence base therefore extends beyond the completed pivotal weight-loss trial and will continue changing after a regulatory decision.

04

REIMAGINE added three type 2 diabetes results

Novo Nordisk reported June 2026 Phase 3 results from REIMAGINE 1, 2, and 3 in adults with type 2 diabetes across diet-only, oral-medicine, and basal-insulin backgrounds. The 2.4 mg/2.4 mg groups had efficacy-estimand mean weight changes of 13.8%, 14.2%, and 12.0%, respectively. Those results belong to type 2 diabetes populations and should not replace the separate 22.7% REDEFINE 1 obesity estimate.

Not established
01

Anticipated window, no firm FDA action date

Novo Nordisk stated in June 2026 that an FDA decision is expected in Q4 2026. That is a sponsor projection, not a published FDA action date. Review timing can change and approval is not guaranteed.

02

No fair heart-rate advantage claim

The cited CagriSema sources do not establish that it causes fewer heart-rate increases than retatrutide. That would require a defensible head-to-head comparison or a careful cross-program analysis.

03

Commercial access is not set

Until approval and launch, there is no approved label, retail price, coverage policy, legitimate pharmacy inventory, or affiliate product to compare.

Direct answers

The questions behind the search.

Concise answers based on the dated sponsor and trial records below. This is educational reporting, not medical advice.

01

What is CagriSema?

CagriSema is an investigational fixed-dose injection combining cagrilintide, a long-acting amylin analogue, with semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Novo Nordisk designed the once-weekly combination to engage complementary appetite and metabolic pathways. It has completed pivotal Phase 3 weight-management trials and has been submitted to the FDA, but it remains investigational until the agency approves a specific label and formulation.

02

How much weight loss did CagriSema show in REDEFINE 1?

The sponsor reported 22.7% mean weight loss with CagriSema versus 2.3% with placebo at 68 weeks under the trial-product estimand, which assumes all participants remained on randomized treatment. Novo Nordisk’s submission announcement rounds that figure to 23%. The percentage should always travel with its population, duration, comparator, and estimand; it is not a promise of an individual result.

03

Is CagriSema FDA approved, and when is the decision?

No. Novo Nordisk announced that it submitted a New Drug Application to the FDA on December 18, 2025. As of this page’s July 20, 2026 evidence check, the sponsor still describes CagriSema as investigational and projects an FDA decision in Q4 2026. That is a sponsor window, not a firm agency action date or approval. Submission, review, approval, launch, and insurance coverage are separate milestones and should not be collapsed into “coming soon.”

04

What did the CagriSema REIMAGINE trials show?

REIMAGINE 1, 2, and 3 were Phase 3 trials in adults with type 2 diabetes using different background therapies and durations. Novo Nordisk reported efficacy-estimand mean weight changes of 13.8%, 14.2%, and 12.0% with CagriSema 2.4 mg/2.4 mg, respectively. Gastrointestinal adverse events were common, and discontinuation rates varied by trial. These diabetes results expand the evidence base but do not replace the separate REDEFINE obesity trials or create an approved indication.

Important boundaryApproval status is jurisdiction-specific.

Do not use an investigational name, trial dose, or online research listing as a substitute for approved care. This page does not recommend treatment, sourcing, or participation in a clinical trial.
