Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) offers insight into glycemic levels beyond the conventional measurement of HbA1c. This phase 2, multicenter, 32-week, double-blind trial (NCT04982575) compared the effects of CagriSema (co-administered semaglutide [sema] 2.4 mg and cagrilintide [cagri] 2.4 mg) vs sema (2.4 mg) or cagri (2.4 mg) alone, all as once-weekly subcutaneous injection, on CGM parameters (secondary endpoints). In total, 92 adult participants with T2D (HbA1c 7.5-10.0%), on metformin ± SGLT2i, and BMI ≥27 kg/m2 were randomized. Time in range (70-180 mg/dL) increased in all groups, reaching 88.9% with CagriSema at week 32 (Figure). Time in tight range (70-140 mg/dL; post-hoc analysis) increased from 16.0%, 8.8%, and 26.2% at baseline to 66.4%, 50.0%, and 36.7% at week 32 for CagriSema, sema, and cagri, respectively, with 0.8% or less in time below range for all groups. Mean glucose (measured by CGM) decreased from baseline to week 32 (CagriSema, -63.9; sema, -43.6; cagri, -23.4 mg/dL; estimated treatment difference [95% CI]: CagriSema vs sema, -20.2 [-39.8, -0.7; p=0.04], and CagriSema vs cagri, -40.5 [-59.4, -21.6; p<0.0001] mg/dL). Time in range with CagriSema reached nearly 90% at week 32, with little time below range in the first trial of CagriSema in people with T2D. Furthermore, CagriSema led to a greater reduction in mean glucose vs both sema or cagri alone.
