§1.3Sequence and structural notes

Two distinct active peptides co-formulated; see the individual monographs for each sequence

The combination is a co-formulation, not a chimeric molecule. Analytical characterisation therefore requires a method that resolves and quantifies both actives independently in a single run, together with a content-ratio specification.

§1.4Assessment status

The Institute assesses CagriSema (cagrilintide with semaglutide) across 2 indications and grades the strongest of them at moderate certainty. In confirmatory clinical development; no marketing authorisation.
