Head-to-head evidence
GZR101 vs insulin degludec
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.

GZR101
Developed by Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals
NCT06199505 · Phase 2 · completed
The study used randomization and an active comparator, but it was open-label and had a surrogate primary endpoint—change in HbA1c rather than a hard clinical outcome. Registry results were not posted at the time of grading; the key result shown was recovered from the cited external source.
Caveat: this result is taken from a company announcement or a news report of one, not from the trial registry or a peer-reviewed publication. Treat the figures as the sponsor's own statement, not as independently verified evidence.

insulin degludec · Tresiba
Marketed by Novo Nordisk
NCT00982644 · Phase 3 · completed
The trial was randomized and actively controlled, with 1,030 participants, but it was not blinded and its primary endpoint was the surrogate measure of change in HbA1c rather than a hard clinical outcome. HbA1c changed by -1.06% with insulin degludec versus -1.19% with insulin glargine, but no statistical comparison is reported, so whether the primary endpoint was met is unclear.
Next expected readout: March 2027 · NCT07032688 (registry estimate)
