Novo Nordisk A/S: Wegovy® HD (semaglutide 7.2 mg) approved in the US, providing 20.7% mean weight loss

Dubai, 24 March 2026 – Novo Nordisk today announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Wegovy® HD (once-weekly injectable semaglutide 7.2 mg) to reduce excess body weight and maintain weight reduction long-term. The FDA awarded a Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher for Wegovy® HD, accelerating its review and underscoring its potential to address critical patient needs and national health priorities in the US.

The accelerated approval is based on results from the STEP UP trial programme. In the STEP UP trial, semaglutide 7.2 mg injected once weekly demonstrated 20.7%1 mean weight loss in participants with obesity, and approximately one in three people experienced 25% or greater weight loss. In the STEP UP type 2 diabetes (T2D) trial, in participants with obesity and type 2 diabetes, semaglutide 7.2 mg demonstrated a mean weight loss of 14.1%1. In both trials, the well-known safety and tolerability profile of semaglutide was reaffirmed with semaglutide 7.2 mg, which was comparable to previous trials with semaglutide for weight management.
