Cagrilintide vs AOD 9604 Mechanism: Cagrilintide: Amylin receptor agonist (appetite/satiety) AOD 9604: HGH fragment (fat metabolism) Completely different Weight loss: Cagrilintide: 10-12% body weight AOD 9604: 5-8% body weight (less robust data) Cagrilintide superior Clinical evidence: Cagrilintide: Extensive Phase 2/3 trials AOD 9604: Limited clinical data Cagrilintide better studied Side effects: Cagrilintide: GI effects common AOD 9604: Minimal side effects AOD 9604 better tolerated Combination potential: Could theoretically combine (different mechanisms) No clinical data on combination Cagrilintide + semaglutide better established Verdict: Cagrilintide more powerful, better evidence
