Head-to-head evidence
insulin detemir vs SAR341402
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.

insulin detemir · Levemir
Marketed by Novo Nordisk
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.
SAR341402
Marketed by Sanofi
NCT03211858 · Phase 3 · completed
The trial randomized 597 participants to SAR341402 or active-control NovoLog/NovoRapid, but treatment assignment was not blinded. The primary HbA1c endpoint met the prespecified non-inferiority margins, while HbA1c is a surrogate measure, so the evidence is considered moderate rather than strong.
