Head-to-head evidence
Alogliptin vs Trelagliptin
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)
Trelagliptin · Zafatek
Developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company
NCT03940183 · Phase 3 · completed
The trial randomized 254 participants to trelagliptin or placebo and used quadruple blinding. Its primary endpoint was the surrogate measure of change in HbA1c at week 24, but results were not posted, so whether the comparison favored trelagliptin is unknown.
Next expected readout: December 2026 · NCT07073768 (registry estimate)
