Cagrisema Misses Weight Loss Target
Novo Nordisk announced topline results from its first Ph3 pivotal cagrisema trial (REDEFINE 1; view CT.gov record) demonstrating -22.7% weight loss at Week 68, although Novo projected it would achieve 25%. For context, the trial evaluated cagrisema (a fixed-dose combination of cagrilintide 2.4mg and semaglutide 2.4mg) vs. cagrilintide 2.4mg, semaglutide 2.4mg, and placebo. Novo’s stock decreased by ~20% following the announcement. Below FENIX provides highlights and insights from the REDEFINE 1 trial, including readthrough to other obesity assets in development.
