Head-to-head evidence
insulin detemir vs LY900014
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.

NCT00283751 · Phase 3 · completed
The study randomized 583 participants to insulin detemir or insulin glargine, but it was open-label rather than blinded. Registry results were not posted at the time of grading; the key result shown was recovered from the cited external source.
LY900014 · Lyumjev
Marketed by Eli Lilly
NCT03214380 · Phase 3 · completed
The study randomized and double-blinded participants to LY900014 or insulin lispro, with 933 enrolled and approximately 336-337 participants in the main comparison arms. The primary HbA1c endpoint met the prespecified non-inferiority margin, but HbA1c is a laboratory surrogate rather than a hard clinical endpoint, supporting a moderate evidence grade.
