Head-to-head evidence
cagrilintide/semaglutide vs VRB-101
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.

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)
VRB-101
Developed by Verdiva Bio
NCT07281937 · Phase 2 · completed
The trial randomly assigns participants to VRB-101 or a matching placebo and keeps participants, care providers and assessors all blinded, using percent body weight change, a standard measure for obesity drugs, as its main result. Results have not been posted yet, so whether the weight-loss difference was statistically meaningful is not yet known. (Independently confirmed by a second model, in-session-confirm:claude-opus-20260822.)
Next expected readout: November 2026 · NCT07553299 (registry estimate)
