Head-to-head evidence
cagrilintide/semaglutide vs dapiglutide
Same mechanism, same race: design-graded trial evidence for both assets, with the grading rationale shown. Grades describe the quality of the evidence, never the merits of either security.

cagrilintide/semaglutide · CagriSema
Developed by Novo Nordisk
NCT05394519 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a large, randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 1,200 patients using percentage body weight change, the standard efficacy measure for obesity treatment. CagriSema reduced body weight by 13.7% versus 3.4% on placebo, a 10.4-percentage-point difference (p<0.001), meeting the primary endpoint.

dapiglutide
Developed by Zealand Pharma
NCT06758583 · Phase 1 · completed
Both groups received active dapiglutide at different concentrations with no placebo or blinding, and the study measured only drug levels in the blood rather than a clinical effect. No results have been posted.
