Head-to-head evidence
HRS-7535 vs semaglutide
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.

HRS-7535
Developed by Kailera Therapeutics under a licence from Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals
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.
Next expected readout: December 2026 · NCT06820099 (registry estimate)
semaglutide · Wegovy / Ozempic / Rybelsus
Marketed by Novo Nordisk
NCT03548935 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 1,961 participants. At week 68, mean body-weight change was -15.6% with semaglutide versus -2.8% with placebo, and the primary comparison was statistically significant (p<0.0001), supporting strong evidence for this clinical weight-loss endpoint.

HRS-7535
Developed by Kailera Therapeutics under a licence from Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals
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.
semaglutide · Wegovy / Ozempic / Rybelsus
Marketed by Novo Nordisk
NCT01720446 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a large randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 1,648 participants receiving semaglutide and 1,649 receiving placebo. The hard clinical primary endpoint, first major adverse cardiovascular event, occurred in 6.6% versus 8.9% of participants; the prespecified non-inferiority comparison was met (hazard ratio 0.74, 95% CI 0.58–0.95, p<0.0001), and a post hoc superiority analysis was statistically significant (p=0.0167).
Next expected readout: November 2026 · NCT07570810 (registry estimate)
