Head-to-head evidence
efsubaglutide alfa 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.

efsubaglutide alfa
Developed by Shanghai Yinnuo Pharmaceutical Technology
NCT06732960 · Phase 2 · completed
The study was randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, but each dose cohort was small, with approximately 10 participants per cohort and a 8:2 active-to-placebo allocation. Because the registry provides no primary endpoint results, it is not possible to determine whether the weight-loss comparison was met.
Next expected readout: November 2026 · NCT07163650 (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)
