Human phase 2 RCT evidence for weight loss in obesity.
1mg
Body weight reduction
High
Population: Adults with obesity (without diabetes) in a randomized controlled phase 2 trial
Study type: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial
Dose context: 12 mg typical (range: 1–12 mg) • Duration: 48 weeks

Retatrutide produced substantial mean body-weight reductions over 48 weeks (up to ~24% at highest dose), with larger losses at higher doses; GI adverse effects were common and dose-related.

Phase 3 registrational program design (TRIUMPH)
Low
Population: Adults with obesity ± OSA, knee osteoarthritis, or cardiovascular disease (>5800 participants across 4 trials)
Study type: Phase 3 registrational program design/rationale publication
Dose context: • Duration: Ongoing (trials projected through 2025–2026)

The TRIUMPH phase 3 program (4 trials, >5800 participants) evaluates once-weekly subcutaneous retatrutide vs. placebo for weight management and obesity-related complications (OSA, OA, CVD). No primary efficacy results published as of early 2026; design and rationale published in 2025.

Body weight reduction (phase 3 — REDEFINE 1, overweight/obesity without diabetes)
High
Population: Adults with overweight/obesity (without diabetes), n=3417 randomized
Study type: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and active-controlled phase 3a trial
Dose context: 2 mg typical (range: 0–2 mg) • Duration: 68 weeks

CagriSema (cagrilintide 2.4 mg + semaglutide 2.4 mg once weekly) produced an estimated mean body-weight reduction of -20.4% vs -3.0% with placebo at week 68 (P<0.001), superior to either component alone. GI adverse events were common (majority transient and mild-to-moderate). Published in NEJM 2025.

Body weight and glycemic control (phase 3 — REDEFINE 2, type 2 diabetes)
High
Population: Adults with overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes (n=1206 randomized)
Study type: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3a trial
Dose context: 2 mg typical (range: 0–2 mg) • Duration: 68 weeks

CagriSema produced mean weight loss of -13.7% vs -3.4% with placebo at week 68, and 73.5% of patients achieved HbA1c ≤6.5% vs 15.9% with placebo. GI adverse events in 72.5% of CagriSema group (mostly transient/mild-moderate). Published in NEJM 2025.

Weight loss and glycemic control — late-stage trial report (type 2 diabetes)
Low
Population: Adults with type 2 diabetes (CagriSema vs semaglutide)
Study type: Late-stage trial (news report; now superseded by peer-reviewed NEJM publication above)
Dose context: • Duration: 68 weeks

Reuters news report (February 2026) described CagriSema outperforming semaglutide in a late-stage diabetes trial; this is now confirmed by the peer-reviewed REDEFINE 2 NEJM paper (see above).
