(REIMAGINEYOUNG)
What this study is about
The purpose of this clinical study is to look into how well a study medicine called CagriSema helps children and adolescents living with diabetes lower their blood sugar and body weight.

View original scientific description
The purpose of this clinical study is to look into how well a study medicine called CagriSema helps children and adolescents living with diabetes lower their blood sugar and body weight. The study has 2 parts: in the first part participant will get either CagriSema or placebo, and in the second part participant will get CagriSema. In the first part, which treatment participant gets is decided by chance and second part is open label and all participants will get CagriSema during this part. The study will last for about 1 year and 3 months.
Interventions
DRUG
CagriSema (Cagrilintide B and Semaglutide I)
Cagrilintide B and Semaglutide I will be administered subcutaneously using DV3384 pen-injector.
DRUG
Placebo matched to CagriSema (Cagrilintide B and Semaglutide I)
Placebo matched to Cagrilintide B and Placebo matched to Semaglutide I will be administered subcutaneously using DV3384 pen-injector.
Primary outcome measures
Change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)
Time frame: From baseline (week 0) to end of double-blinded treatment (week 26)
Measured as percentage (%) of HbA1c.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Informed consent of parent(s) or legally acceptable representative (LAR) of participant and child assent, as age-appropriate, obtained before any study-related activities. Study-related activities are any procedures that are carried out as part of the study, including activities to determine suitability for the study.
- The parent(s) or LAR of the child must sign and date the Informed Consent Form (according to local requirements)
- The child must sign and date the Child Assent Form or provide oral assent (according to local requirements)
- Male or female.
- Age 10 to \< 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Diagnosed with T2D (according to the latest International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes \[ISPAD\] criteria) ≥ 30 days before screening.
- Treated with diet and exercise counselling alone or with a stable daily dose(a), in addition to diet and exercise counselling, of any of the following antidiabetic drugs or combination regimens:
- Insulin (any regimen)
- HbA1c 6.5%-11.0% (48 mmol/mol - 97 mmol/mol) (both inclusive) as determined by central laboratory at screening.
- Body weight ≥ 45 kg and BMI ≥ 85th percentile(b). BMI will be calculated in the electronic case report form based on height and body weight at screening.
- (a) For metformin, a stable dose is defined as at least 1000 mg daily or the maximum tolerated dose for ≥ 56 days prior to screening. For Sodium-Glucose Transport protein 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), a stable dose is defined as the same total daily dose for ≥ 56 days prior to screening. For insulin, it is defined as the dose ± 25% of that taken at screening for ≥ 30 days prior to screening.
- (b) Based on sex-specific BMI-for-age percentiles for the given country or region. If not available for the country or region, the respective charts or tables on cdc.gov may be used. Key
Exclusion criteria
- Female who is pregnant, breast-feeding or intends to become pregnant or is of childbearing potential and not using a highly effective contraceptive method.
- Treatment with any antidiabetic or anti-obesity medication (irrespective of indication) other than stated in the inclusion criteria within 90 days before screening.
- Known or previous diagnosis of hypoparathyroidism.
- Previous or planned (during the study period) obesity treatment with surgery or a weight loss device. However, the following are allowed: (1) liposuction and/or abdominoplasty, if performed \>1 year before screening, (2) lap banding, if the band has been removed \>1 year before screening, (3) intragastric balloon, if the balloon has been removed \>1 year before screening or (4) duodenal-jejunal bypass sleeve, if the sleeve has been removed \> 1 year before screening.
- Positive insulinoma associated-protein 2 (IA-2) antibodies or anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (anti-GAD) antibodies as determined by central laboratory at screening or in medical history.
- Recurrent severe hypoglycaemic episodes within the last year as judged by the investigator.
- Known hypoglycaemic unawareness as indicated by the investigator according to Clarke's questionnaire question 8.
- Uncontrolled and potentially unstable diabetic retinopathy maculopathy. Verified by a fundus examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT) assessment performed within 90 days before screening or in the period between screening and randomisation. Pharmacological pupil-dilation is a requirement unless using a digital fundus photography camera specified for non-dilated examination.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
