Authors' conclusion

The proportion of participants achieving anthropometric targets was greater with CagriSema Versus other treatments.

Study context

Population
Adults without diabetes with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m², or ≥ 27 kg/m² with ≥ 1 obesity-related complication
Comparison
Once-weekly CagriSema vs semaglutide vs cagrilintide vs placebo, plus lifestyle intervention
Primary endpoint
Proportions of participants achieving BMI < 27 kg/m² and/or WHtR < 0.53 targets
Follow-up
Week 68
Methodological detailsphase 3a, 68-week
  • Phase 3a
  • 68-week

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Achieving both BMI < 27 kg/m² and WHtR < 0.53 targets

Further findings

Both BMI and WHtR performed similarly as indicators for all four cardiometabolic outcomes
At more stringent cut-off values, anthropometric targets were better measures than percentage weight loss
