Core Viewpoint - Semaglutide, developed by Novo Nordisk, has significantly impacted the weight loss market with over $7.8 billion in global sales in Q1 this year, approved for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity [2] - Tirzepatide, developed by Eli Lilly, is rapidly gaining ground, showing superior weight loss results compared to Semaglutide in recent studies [4][5] Group 1: Clinical Trial Results - In the SURMOUNT-5 trial, Tirzepatide led to an average weight loss of 20.2% (approximately 22.8 kg) over 72 weeks, with 31.6% of participants losing 25% or more of their body weight [5] - The REDEFINE 1 trial showed that the combination of Cagrilintide and Semaglutide (CagriSema) resulted in an average weight loss of 20.4% (approximately 26.6 kg) over 68 weeks, outperforming both Semaglutide and Cagrilintide alone [8] - In the REDEFINE 2 trial, CagriSema achieved an average weight loss of 13.7% in type 2 diabetes patients, significantly higher than the 3.4% in the placebo group [10][13] Group 2: Safety and Side Effects - CagriSema treatment was associated with a higher incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events (79.6%) compared to the placebo group (39.9%), though most symptoms were mild to moderate [8][13] - In the REDEFINE 2 trial, 72.5% of CagriSema participants reported gastrointestinal side effects, again higher than the 34.4% in the placebo group [13] Group 3: Market Outlook - The combination of Semaglutide and Cagrilintide shows potential to become a significant player in the obesity treatment market, alongside Semaglutide and Tirzepatide [14] - The results from recent clinical trials suggest that CagriSema may redefine the competitive landscape of weight loss medications, particularly in both diabetic and non-diabetic populations [14]
