Head-to-head evidence
dulaglutide vs PEX168
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.

NCT01394952 · Phase 3 · completed
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).
Next expected readout: April 2027 · NCT07537088 (registry estimate)
PEX168
Developed by Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals and partners
NCT02477969 · Phase 3 · status unknown
This was a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 587 participants, testing PEX168 against placebo, both added to metformin, using change in HbA1c as the primary measure. A published report of the trial's results describes the primary endpoint as met, with substantially more PEX168 patients than placebo patients reaching HbA1c targets at 24 weeks.
