Head-to-head evidence
Alogliptin vs Henagliflozin
Same mechanism, same race: design-graded trial evidence for both assets, with the grading rationale shown. Grades describe the quality of the evidence, never the merits of either security.

NCT00286429 · Phase 3 · completed
The 390-participant trial was randomized, quadruple-blind, and placebo-controlled, with 130, 131, and 129 participants assigned to placebo, alogliptin 12.5 mg, and alogliptin 25 mg, respectively. Both primary HbA1c comparisons were statistically significant in favor of alogliptin, but HbA1c is a surrogate measure, so the evidence does not establish a strong clinical-outcome grade.
Next expected readout: December 2026 · NCT07093476 (registry estimate)
Henagliflozin
Developed by Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals
NCT03159052 · Phase 3 · status unknown
This was a randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled trial (n=450). The primary endpoint, HbA1c change at 24 weeks, was clearly met: both the 5 mg and 10 mg doses reduced HbA1c significantly more than placebo (p<.001 for each).
Next expected readout: December 2026 · NCT06448130 (registry estimate)
