Preliminary trial results found a greater weight loss compared to either medication alone. HbA1c was significantly improved compared to cagrilintide alone and non-significantly better than semaglutide alone. [1] [2] In a Phase II trial, weight loss averaged -15.6 percent after 32 weeks, making CagriSema comparable in efficacy to tirzepatide.
Tirzepatide, a dual agonist of GLP-1 and GIP receptors, is approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity. With an average 20 percent weight loss at a high dosage, it appears to be more effective than GLP-1 mono agonists although there have been no head to head trials as of 2023. [1] [3]

Mazdutide (also known as IBI362 or LY3305677) is a dual agonist of the GLP-1 receptor and glucagon receptor. It is an analog of oxyntomodulin (OXM). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The drug is developed by Eli Lilly and is currently in multiple Phase III studies.
The study, which was published in JAMA Network Open on September 25, analyzed six years of health records of nearly 33,000 people with opioid use disorder who also had type 2 diabetes.
In accordance with the expression of GLP-1 receptor on brainstem and hypothalamus, GLP-1 has been shown to promote satiety and thereby reduce food and water intake. Consequently, diabetic subjects treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists often experience weight loss as opposed to the weight gain commonly induced with other treatment agents. [2] [15]
