Head-to-head evidence
ecnoglutide vs GZR18
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.
Obesity
Shared mechanism: GLP-1 receptor · full Obesity pipeline
ecnoglutide
Marketed by Sciwind Biosciences
NCT05813795 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial in 664 adults with overweight or obesity. Ecnoglutide 2.4 mg produced a significantly greater reduction in body weight than placebo at week 40, -13.2% vs +0.1%, p<0.0001, meeting the trial primary comparison.
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.
Next expected readout: November 2026 · NCT07553299 (registry estimate)
GZR18
Developed by Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals
NCT06737042 · Phase 2 · completed
The study randomized 326 participants and used quadruple masking with placebo and tirzepatide comparator arms; its primary endpoint was the clinical outcome of percentage change in body weight. Because the primary comparison has not yet been reported, it cannot establish whether GZR18 met its efficacy objective.
Next expected readout: June 2027 · NCT07150975 (registry estimate)
