Cagrilintide for Fat Loss: What the Research Says

Clinical trials — investigational.Updated August 2026

Cagrilintide (also known as Cagri, AM833) is a long-acting amylin analog studied for appetite and weight, often with semaglutide. This page covers what the published research does — and does not — establish about it in relation to fat loss and weight management.

What the research covers

Cagrilintide is researched for Appetite regulation, Weight management — which is why it appears in discussions of fat loss and weight management.

Research status: Clinical trials — investigational.

How Cagrilintide is thought to work

Cagrilintide is a long-acting analog of amylin, a hormone co-released with insulin that promotes satiety and slows gastric emptying. It is studied on its own and combined with semaglutide (as CagriSema) for appetite and weight management.
