COPENHAGEN, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Novo Nordisk NOVOb.CO said on Monday its experimental obesity drug CagriSema did not meet the primary endpoint in a trial designed to show it was non-inferior to competitor Eli Lilly’s tirzepatide in reducing body weight.

Novo Nordisk's share price fell 8% by 0946 GMT.

Novo Nordisk said CagriSema achieved a 23% reduction in body weight over 84 weeks, compared to 25.5% for Eli Lilly's tirzepatide in the trial.
