HRS-7535 vs liraglutide

NCT06904105 · Phase 3 · completed

This was a randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled trial (n=556). The primary endpoint, percent weight change at week 44, was met: participants lost 9.5% (120 mg) and 10.9% (180 mg) of body weight versus 2.5% with placebo.

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.

NCT00781937 · Phase 3 · completed

The trial randomly assigned 212 participants to liraglutide and 210 to placebo in a double-blind, placebo-controlled design, with objective body-weight outcomes assessed at week 56. All three prespecified primary comparisons favored liraglutide and were statistically significant (each p<0.0001), supporting a strong evidence grade.

NCT06672172 · Phase 3 · completed

This is a well-designed randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a recognized clinical measure (HbA1c change) as its primary endpoint. Registry results were not posted at the time of grading; the key result shown was recovered from the cited external source.

NCT00318461 · Phase 3 · completed

This was a large (n=1091), randomized, double-blind, parallel-group trial with both a placebo-controlled comparison (liraglutide + metformin vs metformin + liraglutide placebo) and an active-controlled comparison (glimepiride + metformin). The primary endpoint was change in HbA1c at week 26, a hard, regulator-accepted outcome for type 2 diabetes. The prespecified primary comparisons for liraglutide 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg/day were met: both were significantly superior to metformin alone (p<0.0001) and non-inferior to glimepiride + metformin within the 0.4% margin. The 0.6 mg dose was superior to metformin but did not meet non-inferiority against glimepiride + metformin, which does not negate the positive results for the clinically relevant doses.
