REDEFINE 1
Overweight or obesity, without type 2 diabetes · Phase 3 · 68 weeks
Published in NEJM, estimated mean body-weight change at week 68 was −20.4% with cagrilintide-semaglutide versus −3.0% with placebo on the treatment-policy estimand; with full adherence (efficacy estimand) weight loss was 22.7% versus 2.3% (n=3,417, NCT05567796).
Sponsor conference analysis (post hoc), 20 October 2026. Novo Nordisk reported two post hoc analyses of REDEFINE 1 in women at The Menopause Society 2026 Annual Meeting. Among all 2,309 women in the trial, average weight loss at week 68 was 25.0% with CagriSema versus 3.0% with placebo, if all participants stayed on treatment (efficacy estimand). In 1,902 women grouped by menopausal status, average weight loss was 26.7% in premenopausal, 24.8% in perimenopausal and 23.1% in postmenopausal women, versus 1.7% to 2.6% with placebo. Menopausal status was assigned after the trial from age, medical history and symptoms, and women using hormone therapy were analysed separately. These are company-reported poster results that have not been peer reviewed, and Novo described them as hypothesis generating.
