Head-to-head evidence
Linagliptin vs MP-513
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.
Type 2 Diabetes
Shared mechanism: DPP-4 · full Type 2 Diabetes pipeline
Linagliptin · Tradjenta
Marketed by Boehringer Ingelheim and partners
NCT00602472 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 1,058 participants, and its primary endpoint was met: adjusted HbA1c change was −0.72% with linagliptin versus −0.10% with placebo (p<0.0001). The evidence is considered moderate because HbA1c is a surrogate measure rather than a hard clinical endpoint.
MP-513
Developed by Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma
NCT00974090 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study of 194 adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on sulfonylurea therapy, with a 12-week double-blind period followed by a 40-week open-label extension. The primary endpoint - change from baseline in HbA1c at Week 12 - is a hard, regulator-accepted measure of glycemic control, and the comparison clearly favored teneligliptin (LS mean -0.71% vs +0.29% for placebo, SE 0.06 per arm), however statistical significance is not reported.
