About this study
Official title: The Role of the Amylin Analogue Cagrilintide in Bone Metabolism During Weight Loss in Postmenopausal Women With Obesity
In this study we will investigate how the medicine cagrilintide affects bone health in women after menopause with obesity during weight loss, compared to treatment with placebo (the dummy medicine with no active substances) and semaglutide. The purpose is to examine whether cagrilintide can reduce the decline in bone mass associated to weight loss. Participants will either get cagrilintide, semaglutide, CagriSema (cagrilintide combined with semaglutide) or placebo. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Semaglutide is already approved for the treatment of overweight and obesity and can be prescribed by doctors. Cagrilintide and CagriSema are new medications currently under development for weight management. The study will last for about 79 weeks.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Cagrilintide and Semaglutide in people with Obesity, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 1 site in Denmark.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Novo Nordisk ((+1) 866-867-7178, clinicaltrials@novonordisk.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Relative change in volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) of the total hip assessed by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) (time frame: From baseline to end of treatment (week 68)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Sep 2026.
