About this study

Official title: Effect of CagriSema, Semaglutide and Cagrilintide on Insulin Sensitivity and Pancreatic Endocrine Function in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes

This study will look at how CagriSema, semaglutide and cagrilintide regulate insulin effects in the body of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). CagriSema is a new investigational medicine that combines two medicines called cagrilintide and semaglutide. Doctors may not yet prescribe CagriSema. Participants will either get CagriSema, semaglutide, cagrilintide, or a ''dummy'' medicine. Which treatment the participants will get is decided by chance. Participants will get the study medicine together with the current daily diabetes medicine metformin. Participants should not take other medicines for diabetes during the study. The study will last for about 42 weeks.

Being tested
Semaglutide, Cagrilintide, Placebo semaglutide, Placebo cagrilintide

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To compare the effect of CagriSema versus placebo: Change in M-value in hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp (HEC)

    M-value from the HEC is calculated from glucose infusion rate (GIR) over the last 30 minutes of the clamp, corresponding to steady state. M-value is defined as: (GIR150-180 min normalised by body weight [milligram per minute per kilogram {mg/min/kg}]). Measured in mg/min/kg.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Semaglutide and Cagrilintide in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To compare the effect of CagriSema versus placebo: Change in M-value in hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp (HEC) (time frame: Baseline to week 28). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Feb 2026.
