First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a new weekly injection called CagriSema, which combines two drugs (cagrilintide and semaglutide), to help Chinese adults with obesity or overweight lose weight. About 300 participants received either CagriSema, semaglutide alone, or a placebo for around one year. The main goals were to see how much weight they lost and how many achieved at least a 5% reduction in body weight.
