Head-to-head evidence
ASC30 vs VCT220
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.

ASC30
Developed by Ascletis Pharma
NCT07002905 · Phase 2 · completed
The study randomly assigned 125 participants and used quadruple blinding with placebo control across seven cohorts. Its primary endpoint was percent change in body weight at Week 13, but the registry has not posted whether this endpoint was met.
Caveat: this result is taken from a company announcement or a news report of one, not from the trial registry or a peer-reviewed publication. Treat the figures as the sponsor's own statement, not as independently verified evidence.

VCT220
Developed by Ji Xing Pharmaceuticals (CORXEL) under a licence from Vincentage Pharma
NCT06569355 · Phase 2 · completed
This Phase 2 trial randomly assigned 250 people with obesity or overweight to one of several VCT220 doses or placebo, with participants, carers, investigators and outcome assessors unaware of assignment. The primary measure was percentage change in body weight at week 16. Weight fell by between 5.8% and 9.7% across the VCT220 dose groups against 1.6% on placebo, with reductions of 9.7% and 9.4% at the two 160 mg schedules (p of 0.001 or lower).
