Head-to-head evidence
cagrilintide/semaglutide vs HRS-7535
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.
Obesity
Shared mechanism: GLP-1 receptor · full Obesity pipeline
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)
HRS-7535
Developed by Kailera Therapeutics under a licence from Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals
NCT06904105 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled trial (n=556). The primary endpoint, percent weight change at week 44, was met: participants lost 9.5% (120 mg) and 10.9% (180 mg) of body weight versus 2.5% with placebo.
Caveat: this result is taken from a company announcement or a news report of one, not from the trial registry or a peer-reviewed publication. Treat the figures as the sponsor's own statement, not as independently verified evidence.
Next expected readout: December 2026 · NCT06820099 (registry estimate)
Type 2 Diabetes
Shared mechanism: GLP-1 receptor · full Type 2 Diabetes pipeline
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: June 2027 · NCT07817251 (registry estimate)
HRS-7535
Developed by Kailera Therapeutics under a licence from Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals
NCT06672172 · Phase 3 · completed
This is a well-designed randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a recognized clinical measure (HbA1c change) as its primary endpoint. Registry results were not posted at the time of grading; the key result shown was recovered from the cited external source.
