Can a weekly Two-Drug shot replace semaglutide for type 2 diabetes?
NCT ID NCT07817251
First seen Sep 14, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are testing how safely and comfortably people with type 2 diabetes can switch from semaglutide to CagriSema, a weekly injection that combines cagrilintide and semaglutide. About 210 adults who have taken a stable dose of branded semaglutide for at least three months will receive CagriSema for roughly six months. The study tracks side effects and low blood sugar episodes to see how well participants tolerate the change.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CagriSema, a weekly injection that combines cagrilintide and semaglutide
- What this could lead to
- If it works, people with type 2 diabetes who already take semaglutide could have a clear path to a newer combination treatment without stopping therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a safety and tolerability study, not a test of whether the switch improves blood sugar. The trial may show that switching causes side effects that make it impractical, and the results may not apply to everyone with type 2 diabetes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria: * Male or female (sex assigned at birth, inclusive of all gender identities). * Age 18 years or above at the time of signing the informed consent. * Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) greater than or equal to (≥) 180 days before screening. * Stable once-weekly dose ≥ 90 days before screening of branded s.c. semaglutide. Branded semaglutide s.c. includes Ozempic and Wegovy. Participants on compounded semaglutide are ineligible. * Not on treatment with oral antidiabetic drugs or on stable daily dose(s) ≥ 90 days before screening of any of the following antidiabetic drug(s) or combination regimen at effective or maximum tolerated dose (MTD) as judged by the investigator: metformin and/or sodiumglucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. * Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) 6.5-10.5 percentage (%) (48-91 millimoles per mole \[mmol/mol\]) (both inclusive) as determined by central laboratory at screening. * Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kilograms per square meter (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: * Female who is pregnant, breast-feeding or intends to become pregnant or is of childbearing potential and not using a highly effective contraceptive method from screening. * Renal impairment with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than (\<) 30 milliliter per minute per 1.73 square meter (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. Verified by an eye examination performed within 90 days before screening or in the period between screening and randomisation. Pharmacological pupil-dilation is a requirement unless using a digital fundus photography camera specified for non-dilated examination. * A self-reported change in body weight \> 5% within 90 days before screening irrespective of medical records. * Use of personal continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices. Participants currently using personal CGM devices must discontinue use prior to screening and throughout study participation.
