Head-to-head evidence
efpeglenatide 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.

efpeglenatide
Developed by Hanmi Pharmaceutical and partners
NCT03353350 · Phase 3 · completed
The trial was randomized, quadruple-blinded, placebo-controlled, and included 406 participants, providing a strong comparative design. However, the primary endpoint was the surrogate measure of HbA1c change, and although the reported changes favored efpeglenatide, statistical significance for the primary comparison was not reported.

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.
