Comparison table
| Attribute | CagriSema | Mazdutide |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | CagriSema (Cagrilintide + Semaglutide) | Mazdutide (Dual GLP-1/Glucagon Agonist) |
| Category | Weight Management | Weight Management |
| Status | Phase 3 Clinical Trial | Phase 3 Clinical Trial |
| Mechanism | Dual-pathway activation: cagrilintide mimics amylin to activate area postrema satiety centers, while semaglutide activates GLP-1 receptors for complementary appetite suppression. | Dual activation of GLP-1 receptors for appetite suppression combined with glucagon receptor activation for enhanced hepatic lipid oxidation and energy expenditure. |

| Half-life | 7 days (both components) | 5-7 days |
| Bioavailability | High (SubQ) | High (SubQ) |
| Typical dose | Cagrilintide 2.4mg + Semaglutide 2.4mg | 3-9 mg |
| Frequency | Once weekly | Once weekly |
| Route | Subcutaneous | Subcutaneous |
