CagriSema REDEFINE 1 ASCVD Risk + hsCRP + SBP Sub-analyses Presented ECO 2026 Day 3 (May 14)

Novo Nordisk's CagriSema REDEFINE 1 cardiovascular sub-analyses, presented at ECO 2026 on Thursday May 14, layered onto the May 12 body-composition data. At week 68, CagriSema (cagrilintide 2.4 mg + semaglutide 2.4 mg) reduced systolic blood pressure by 10.9 mmHg vs 8.8 with semaglutide alone and 2.1 with placebo. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein dropped 68.9% vs 55.4% (semaglutide) and 16.0% (placebo). The 10-year predicted atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk decreased meaningfully on CagriSema versus all comparators, with fewer participants on CagriSema falling into the intermediate-to-high-risk category. The sub-analyses sharpen the combination-therapy case beyond the 22.7% mean weight-loss headline.
