Cagrisema Gets Redefined
Novo Nordisk announced topline results from the open-label Ph3 REDEFINE-4 study evaluating 2.4mg cagrisema (QW SC GLP-1/amylin dual agonist) H2H vs. 15mg tirzepatide (QW SC GLP-1/GIP dual agonist) in patients with obesity (view CT.gov record). An associated call was held (view slides). Of note, the trial did not achieve its primary endpoint of demonstrating non-inferiority on weight loss for cagrisema compared to tirzepatide after 84 weeks. As a result, Novo’s stock is down ~15%. Additional details from the press release and call are outlined below, including FENIX’s thoughts if commercializing cagrisema still makes sense and what BD cravings may remain.
