CHICAGO \u2014 Late-stage results of Novo Nordisk\u2019s obesity candidate CagriSema suggest the drug is comparable to Eli Lilly\u2019s Zepbound on safety and efficacy, further data indicating that CagriSema may not be the standout treatment that investors had hoped for.<\/p>\n

Novo previously reported<\/a> that patients on CagriSema lost 20% of their weight in a 68-week Phase 3 trial when looking at all participants, a similar level of weight loss seen in Zepbound studies.<\/p>\n
