ECO 2026 Day 3 Cagrilintide Monotherapy DXA Body Composition Subgroup — 62.9% Fat Mass Selectivity
A second body-composition substudy from REDEFINE 1 presented May 14 at ECO 2026 broke out the DXA subgroup by treatment arm. At week 68, CagriSema (cagrilintide 2.4 mg + semaglutide 2.4 mg) produced -23.9% weight reduction in the DXA subgroup, compared with -16.6% on semaglutide 2.4 mg alone, -15.0% on cagrilintide 2.4 mg alone, and -2.8% on placebo. The fat-mass-to-lean-tissue ratios were favorable across all active arms: 66.9% fat-mass contribution on CagriSema, 69.7% on semaglutide, 62.9% on cagrilintide. The cagrilintide monotherapy arm is the first head-to-head body-composition signal for amylin-only therapy at clinically meaningful weight-loss levels — relevant to Zealand and Roche's petrelintide Phase 3 program and the broader amylin-versus-incretin debate.
