A Research Study to See How Well CagriSema Compared to Semaglutide, Cagrilintide and Placebo Lowers Blood Sugar and Body Weight in People With Type 2 Diabetes Treated With Metformin With or Without an SGLT2 Inhibitor

United States, Argentina, Australia2,734 participantsStarted 2023-09-27

Plain-language summary

The study will look at how well CagriSema helps people lower their blood sugar and body weight. CagriSema is a new weekly medicine that combines two medicines called semaglutide and cagrilintide. CagriSema will be compared to the two medicines semaglutide and cagrilintide, when they are taken alone. CagriSema will also be compared to a "dummy" medicine without any active ingredient. The study will be done in participants who have type 2 diabetes. Participants will take the study medicine together with the current diabetes medicine (metformin with or without an SGLT2 inhibitor).

Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female (sex at birth). * Age 18 years or above at the time of signing the informed consent. * Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus greater than or equal to 180 days before screening. * Stable daily dose(s) greater than or equal to 90 days before screening of any of the following antidiabetic drug(s) or combination regimen(s) at effective or maximum tolerated dose as judged by the investigator: metformin with or without Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. * Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) 7.0-10.5 percent (53-91 millimoles per mole \[mmol/mol\]) (both inclusive) as determined by central laboratory at screening. * Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than or equal to 25 kilogram per square metre ( kg/m\^2) at screening. BMI will be calculated in the electronic case report form (eCRF) based on height and body weight at screening. Exclusion Criteria: * Renal impairment with estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) less than 30 milliliters per minute per 1.73 square metre (mL/min/1.73 m\^2) as determined by central laboratory at screening. * Treatment with any medication for the indication of diabetes or obesity other than stated in the inclusion criteria within 90 days before screening. However, short term insulin treatment for a maximum of 14 consecutive days and prior insulin treatment for gestational diabetes are allowed. * Uncontrolled and potentially unstable diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
