Head-to-head evidence
insulin degludec vs THDB0206
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.

NCT00982644 · Phase 3 · completed
The trial was randomized and actively controlled, with 1,030 participants, but it was not blinded and its primary endpoint was the surrogate measure of change in HbA1c rather than a hard clinical outcome. HbA1c changed by -1.06% with insulin degludec versus -1.19% with insulin glargine, but no statistical comparison is reported, so whether the primary endpoint was met is unclear.

THDB0206
Developed by Tonghua Dongbao Pharmaceutical
NCT05834868 · Phase 3 · completed
The study was randomized and actively controlled with insulin lispro, but it was open-label and used change in HbA1c as its primary, surrogate endpoint rather than a hard clinical outcome. No primary endpoint results have been posted, so whether THDB0206 met its objective is unknown.
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.
