Summary

This trial is testing two weight-loss drugs, cagrilintide and semaglutide, given either as one combined shot or as two separate shots. The study targets overweight or obese individuals to find the best way to administer these medications. These drugs work by reducing appetite and controlling blood sugar levels, which helps with weight loss. Cagrilintide is a long-acting drug currently being tested for obesity, and semaglutide has shown significant weight loss effects.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Part B: Cagrilintide and semaglutide combined in DV3384 deviceExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will receive a single injection of Cagrilintide 0.25 mg/semaglutide 0.25 mg using the DV3384 manual syringe followed by a 28 days follow-up period.
Group II: Part A: Cagrilintide and semaglutide in separate syringesExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will up-titrated for 14 weeks (dose escalation every 4 weeks and 2 weeks at last dose escalation step prior to randomisation) with cagrilintide and semaglutide administered as separate injections. Followed by 8 weeks treatment with cagrilintide and semaglutide administered as separate injections. The 8-week treatment period covers 2 different doses of cagrilintide and semaglutide (1.7/1.7 mg and 2.4/2.4 mg with 4 weeks on each dose combination). Followed by a 38 days follow-up period.
Group III: Part A: Cagrilintide and semaglutide combined in DV3384 deviceExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will be up-titrated for 14 weeks (dose escalation every 4 weeks and 2 weeks at last dose escalation step prior to randomisation) with cagrilintide and semaglutide administered as separate injections. Followed by 8 weeks of treatment with cagrilintide and semaglutide administered using the DV3384 manual syringe. The 8-week treatment period covers 2 different doses of cagrilintide and semaglutide (1.7/1.7 mg and 2.4/2.4 mg with 4 weeks on each dose combination. Followed by a 38 days follow-up period.
