Head-to-head evidence
elecoglipron 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.

Shared mechanism: GLP-1 receptor · full Type 2 Diabetes pipeline
elecoglipron
Developed by AstraZeneca
NCT06579105 · Phase 2 · completed
Participants receiving AZD5004 or placebo were randomized and kept blinded to treatment; a semaglutide comparator arm was open-label but was not part of the primary comparison. The highest dose produced a substantially larger drop in HbA1c than placebo, meeting the trial's main goal.
Next expected readout: May 2028 · NCT07664553 (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.
