Head-to-head evidence
dulaglutide vs IcoSema
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.

This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 9,901 participants. The hard clinical primary endpoint was met: 594 dulaglutide participants versus 663 placebo participants experienced a composite cardiovascular event, with a hazard ratio of 0.88 (p=0.026).

NCT05352815 · Phase 3 · completed
Participants were randomized 1:1 to IcoSema or active insulin icodec, but the study was open-label rather than blinded. The primary HbA1c endpoint was statistically significantly better with IcoSema, although HbA1c is a surrogate metabolic measure rather than a hard clinical endpoint.
