Head-to-head evidence
HRS-7535 vs VRB-101
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)
VRB-101
Developed by Verdiva Bio
NCT07281937 · Phase 2 · completed
The trial randomly assigns participants to VRB-101 or a matching placebo and keeps participants, care providers and assessors all blinded, using percent body weight change, a standard measure for obesity drugs, as its main result. Results have not been posted yet, so whether the weight-loss difference was statistically meaningful is not yet known. (Independently confirmed by a second model, in-session-confirm:claude-opus-20260822.)
Next expected readout: November 2026 · NCT07553299 (registry estimate)
