Head-to-head evidence
efsubaglutide alfa vs liraglutide
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.

NCT00781937 · Phase 3 · completed
The trial randomly assigned 212 participants to liraglutide and 210 to placebo in a double-blind, placebo-controlled design, with objective body-weight outcomes assessed at week 56. All three prespecified primary comparisons favored liraglutide and were statistically significant (each p<0.0001), supporting a strong evidence grade.
Next expected readout: December 2026 · NCT07225816 (registry estimate)
