Head-to-head evidence
elecoglipron vs VCT220
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
elecoglipron
Developed by AstraZeneca
NCT06579092 · Phase 2 · completed
This randomised, triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 310 adults living with obesity or overweight reported a 10.5% reduction in body weight on elecoglipron 75 mg against 0.6% on placebo at 26 weeks. Percent weight change is the measure regulators accept as the primary efficacy endpoint in obesity.
Next expected readout: April 2028 · NCT07775404 (registry estimate)
VCT220
Developed by Ji Xing Pharmaceuticals (CORXEL) under a licence from Vincentage Pharma
NCT06569355 · Phase 2 · completed
This Phase 2 trial randomly assigned 250 people with obesity or overweight to one of several VCT220 doses or placebo, with participants, carers, investigators and outcome assessors unaware of assignment. The primary measure was percentage change in body weight at week 16. Weight fell by between 5.8% and 9.7% across the VCT220 dose groups against 1.6% on placebo, with reductions of 9.7% and 9.4% at the two 160 mg schedules (p of 0.001 or lower).
