Head-to-head evidence
insulin glulisine 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.

NCT00290927 · Phase 3 · completed
The trial randomized 390 participants but was not blinded; the registry describes comparisons with oral diabetes therapy. Its primary efficacy endpoint was change in HbA1c, a surrogate measure, and because no results are posted, it is not possible to determine whether the primary comparison was met.
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.
