This study will look at how much cagrilintide helps people with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes lower their body weight. Cagrilintide is a new investigational medicine. Doctors may not yet prescribe cagrilintide. Participant will either get cagrilintide or placebo. Which treatment participant get is decided by chance. Participants are two times more likely to get cagrilintide than placebo. Like all medicines, the study medicine may have side effects. For each participant, the study will last for about 1 year and 6 months.
Phase 3 trials are pivotal studies with large patient populations (hundreds to thousands) designed to prove efficacy and safety for FDA submission. A successful Phase 3 readout is typically the last major hurdle before a New Drug Application (NDA) or BLA filing.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
Novo Nordisk (NVO) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company F (12/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
