Head-to-head evidence
GZR18 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.

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.

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).
