Eloralintide vs Cagrilintide
Both are long-acting amylin analogues built for weekly dosing. Eloralintide was engineered to be selective for amylin receptors, while cagrilintide also acts at calcitonin receptors and is best known in combination with semaglutide (CagriSema). Eloralintide reached a 48-week phase 2 trial published in 2025; cagrilintide is further along, with phase 3 combination data.

| Mechanism | Eloralintide (LY3841136) is an investigational, selective, long-acting amylin-receptor agonist. | Amylin is a pancreatic hormone co-secreted with insulin that induces satiety and slows gastric emptying. |
| Status | Investigational selective amylin-receptor agonist (Eli Lilly); phase 2 published, phase 3 under way. Not approved anywhere. | Phase 2 monotherapy data (2021) and phase 3 combination trials with semaglutide (REDEFINE, 2025–2026). Not yet approved. |
| Reported safety signals | The phase 2 report describes the gastrointestinal tolerability profile expected of the amylin class; no long-term data. | Trials report the gastrointestinal profile expected of the incretin/amylin class; the phase 1b study characterised tolerability of the combination. |
| A key study | Describes eloralintide’s discovery and pharmacology through to clinical proof of concept. (Mol Metab 2025, PMID 41109426) | A phase 2 dose-finding trial measured cagrilintide’s dose–response on body weight, safety and tolerability. (Lancet 2021, PMID 34798060) |
WHEN TO RESEARCH WHICH
Cagrilintide has the larger dataset, mostly as a combination; eloralintide is the newer, receptor-selective amylin agonist studied as a single agent. Both are discussed here strictly as research compounds; nothing on this page is medical advice or a dosing guide.
