About

About Cagrilintide

Cagrilintide is a long-acting amylin analog being developed in combination with semaglutide (as CagriSema) for obesity and type 2 diabetes. The CagriSema combination has shown weight loss exceeding 22% in early trials, rivaling surgical outcomes. Amylin complements GLP-1 action through independent satiety pathways. It is not yet approved but represents the next frontier in pharmacological obesity treatment.

Science

Mechanism of Action

Mimics amylin, a pancreatic hormone co-secreted with insulin, to slow gastric emptying, suppress glucagon, and signal satiety through area postrema receptors — pathways distinct from and additive to GLP-1.

Dosing

Typical Protocol

0.3–2.4 mg subcutaneous injection once weekly; currently in Phase III trials as monotherapy and in CagriSema combination.

⚠ Protocol information is for educational purposes only. Dosing must be determined by a licensed physician based on individual health status and goals.

Regulatory

Legal Status in 2026

Grey Area

This compound occupies a regulatory grey area in 2026. It is neither explicitly FDA-approved nor clearly illegal for personal use, but it lacks formal clinical approval and may not be legally sold for human use in all contexts. Proceed with caution: source quality is variable, and regulatory status can change. Always consult a physician.

Evidence

Evidence Tier

Clinical Trials

Evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or large observational studies in humans. This is the gold standard — effects have been measured in controlled conditions and results are peer-reviewed and reproducible.
