What is it—and why does it matter?

Cagrilintide is listed as a peptide-based amylin receptor agonist (AMYRA). In adults with type 2 diabetes and BMI 27 or higher, once-weekly cagrilintide-semaglutide (2.4 mg each) for 68 weeks reduced body weight more than placebo. Compared with normal kidney function, AUC0-∞ ratios were 1.23 (0.91-1.66) mild, 1.18 (0.87-1.59) moderate, and 1.21 (0.87-1.68) severe impairment.

Simple guide

Cagrilintide, in plain English

The main points from the published research. Each one links to the source it comes from.

What it is

  • Cagrilintide is a lipidated, long-acting version of the peptide amylin.

What the research looks like

Most published findings come from studies in people.

Who or what was studied, across 80 findings:
  • 49 People 61%
  • 12 Animals or lab 15%
  • 19 Other or unclear 24%

Counts show where findings come from, not how strong they are. Animal and lab findings are counted together because study types have not been labelled for this profile yet.

What studies in people found

What animal and lab studies suggest

Not proven in people. Results in animals or cells often do not hold up in humans.

Safety

No safety findings are published in this profile yet. Missing safety data does not mean it is safe.

What we don't know

  • Not yet covered in this profile: administration, contraindications, interactions, regulatory status, safety.

A missing finding does not mean something is safe or effective.

Study types are labelled automatically and can be wrong; each finding links to its source.

Research status + gaps

What still needs better answers?

  • Not yet covered in this profile: administration, contraindications, interactions, regulatory status, safety.
  • Some extracted findings are not shown because they did not pass Peplexicon's automated evidence checks.

These are the limits of this profile, not an exhaustive list of scientific uncertainties.
