Research Study to Look at How Well Cagrilintide Together With Semaglutide Works in People With Type 2 Diabetes

December 5, 2025 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S

Efficacy and Safety of Co-administration of Cagrilintide s.c. 2.4 mg and Semaglutide s.c. 2.4 mg Once Weekly in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes

This study looks at how well a new medicine called cagrilintide works together with semaglutide on blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes compared to cagrilintide alone or semaglutide alone.

Before a new medicine can be prescribed to people it needs to be tested to see if it is safe and effective.

Participants will either get cagrilintide and semaglutide together or cagrilintide and a dummy medicine or semaglutide and a dummy medicine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance.

A dummy medicine (placebo) looks like the study medicine but does not contain any active medicine. The dummy medicine is in the study to see if the study medicine works as expected.

Participants will get 2 injections per week on the same day. Participants will take the study medicine with a pen. A pen is a medical tool with a needle used for injections under the skin. The study doctor or staff will show how.

The study will last for about 39 weeks. Participants will have 12 visits at the clinic and 5 phone calls with the study doctor.

At 6 of the clinic visits participants must not eat and drink for 8 hours before the visit (water is allowed).

Women who can become pregnant cannot take part in this study. Only women that are surgically sterilised or post-menopausal are allowed to participate in this study Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to get pregnant during the study period

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c): Cagrilintide 2.4 mg + Semaglutide 2.4 mg Versus Semaglutide 2.4 mg + Placebo (Cagrilintide)
Time Frame: Week 0, Week 32
Change in HbA1c from baseline (week 0) to week 32 is presented. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from in-trial period. The in-trial period is defined as the time interval from date of randomization to date of last contact with trial site. The on-treatment without rescue medication period is a subset of the 'on-treatment' observation period and represents the time period where subjects are considered exposed to trial product but have not initiated any rescue medications.
Week 0, Week 32

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Time Frame: At week 32
Percentage of TAR greater than 10.0 mmol/L (greater than 180 mg/dL) at week 32 is presented. The percentage of time spent in glycaemic target range was calculated as 100 times the number of recorded measurements in glycaemic target range greater than 10.0 mmol/L (greater than 180 mg/dL), both inclusive divided by the total number of recorded measurements. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from in-trial period. The in-trial period is defined as the time interval from date of randomization to date of last contact with trial site.

Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to week 37
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial participants administered or using a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or usage. A TEAE was defined as an event that had onset date (or increase in severity) during the on-treatment observation period. On treatment observation period starts at the date of first dose of trial product and ends at the first date of any of the following; the date of last dose of trial product +35 days for AEs and hypoglycaemic episodes/+ 14 days for other endpoints; the end-date for the 'in-trial' observation period.
From baseline (week 0) to week 37
Number of Clinically Significant Hypoglycaemic Episodes (Level 2) (Below 3.0mmol/L (54mg/dL), Confirmed by BG Meter) or Severe Hypoglycaemic Episodes (Level 3)
Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to week 37
Clinically significant hypoglycaemic episodes (level 2) were defined as episodes that were sufficiently low to indicate serious, clinically important hypoglycaemia with plasma glucose value of less than (<) 3.0 mmol/L (54 mg/dL). Severe hypoglycaemic episodes (level 3) were defined as episodes that were associated with severe cognitive impairment requiring external assistance for recovery.
