dapiglutide vs semaglutide
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.

dapiglutide
Developed by Zealand Pharma
NCT06758583 · Phase 1 · completed
Both groups received active dapiglutide at different concentrations with no placebo or blinding, and the study measured only drug levels in the blood rather than a clinical effect. No results have been posted.
semaglutide · Wegovy / Ozempic / Rybelsus
Marketed by Novo Nordisk
NCT03548935 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 1,961 participants. At week 68, mean body-weight change was -15.6% with semaglutide versus -2.8% with placebo, and the primary comparison was statistically significant (p<0.0001), supporting strong evidence for this clinical weight-loss endpoint.
