Combination drug in development

CagriSema (cagrilintide + semaglutide)

Also called CagriSema

The only combination here that has been tested properly: a fixed-dose pairing of an amylin analog and a GLP-1 drug, made by Novo Nordisk.

What is in it

Is there evidence for the combination?

Large phase 3 trials (REDEFINE 1 and 2) were published in 2025 1. Novo Nordisk filed for FDA approval in December 2025 2. In the open-label REDEFINE 4 trial against tirzepatide, CagriSema missed its main goal 3. It is not approved, and it cannot legally be compounded.

Mixing adds unknowns. A blend carries the risks of every ingredient, and the interactions are untested. Vial contents and ratios are set by sellers and are not standardized. See each ingredient page for safety and legal details.
