Head-to-head evidence
Henagliflozin vs Linagliptin
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.
Type 2 Diabetes
Shared mechanism: DPP-4 · full Type 2 Diabetes pipeline
Henagliflozin
Developed by Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals
NCT03159052 · Phase 3 · status unknown
This was a randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled trial (n=450). The primary endpoint, HbA1c change at 24 weeks, was clearly met: both the 5 mg and 10 mg doses reduced HbA1c significantly more than placebo (p<.001 for each).
Next expected readout: December 2026 · NCT06448130 (registry estimate)
Linagliptin · Tradjenta
Marketed by Boehringer Ingelheim and partners
NCT00602472 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 1,058 participants, and its primary endpoint was met: adjusted HbA1c change was −0.72% with linagliptin versus −0.10% with placebo (p<0.0001). The evidence is considered moderate because HbA1c is a surrogate measure rather than a hard clinical endpoint.
