Head-to-head evidence
cagrilintide vs RM-718
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
Developed by Novo Nordisk
NCT03856047 · Phase 2 · completed
The trial randomized participants to five active doses, a pooled placebo, and an active liraglutide comparator arm, with quadruple-blinding (participant, care provider, investigator, and outcomes assessor all masked) and roughly 100 participants per arm. The primary endpoint, percent change in body weight at 26 weeks, is the regulator-accepted physiological measure for obesity trials, and every cagrilintide dose showed a statistically significant weight-loss advantage over placebo (p-values ranging from 0.0002 to <.0001), so the primary comparison was clearly met in the favorable direction.
