Reported Benefits

Weight loss

Preliminary 9 studies

Phase II: significant weight loss vs. placebo; development discontinued before Phase III.

Mechanism of Action

Amylin receptor agonist — reduces food intake via area postrema and hypothalamic satiety signaling; slows gastric emptying; reduces glucagon secretion.

Development History

Davalintide demonstrated clinical proof-of-concept for second-generation amylin agonism but was discontinued before Phase III. Lessons from its development informed cagrilintide’s design — particularly the value of amylin+GLP-1 combination approaches that became CagriSema.
