Head-to-head evidence
cagrilintide/semaglutide vs efsubaglutide alfa
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.
Next expected readout: March 2027 · NCT07011667 (registry estimate)
efsubaglutide alfa
Developed by Shanghai Yinnuo Pharmaceutical Technology
NCT06732960 · Phase 2 · completed
The study was randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, but each dose cohort was small, with approximately 10 participants per cohort and a 8:2 active-to-placebo allocation. Because the registry provides no primary endpoint results, it is not possible to determine whether the weight-loss comparison was met.
Next expected readout: November 2026 · NCT07163650 (registry estimate)
