HSK7653 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.

HSK7653
Developed by Haisco Pharmaceutical Group
NCT04556851 · Phase 3 · completed
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 476 patients and measured change in HbA1c, a standard efficacy measure in diabetes, at 24 weeks. Both HSK7653 doses lowered HbA1c significantly more than placebo (p<0.0001), meeting the trial's primary goal.

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).
