Cagrilintide is a synthetic, long-acting amylin analog peptide developed as a potential treatment for obesity and related metabolic conditions. Amylin itself is a hormone co-secreted with insulin by the pancreas, and it plays a natural role in slowing digestion, controlling appetite, and regulating blood sugar levels.
It is designed for stability. The natural amylin breaks down quickly in the body, which limits its therapeutic potential. Cagrilintide has been engineered with structural modifications that make it far more stable, allowing for once-weekly injections instead of daily dosing.
Cagrilintide is being studied specifically for weight management, appetite suppression, and improved glycemic control, both alone and in combination with GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide.
