Head-to-head evidence
liraglutide vs ZT006
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.

NCT00781937 · Phase 3 · completed
The trial randomly assigned 212 participants to liraglutide and 210 to placebo in a double-blind, placebo-controlled design, with objective body-weight outcomes assessed at week 56. All three prespecified primary comparisons favored liraglutide and were statistically significant (each p<0.0001), supporting a strong evidence grade.
Next expected readout: December 2026 · NCT07225816 (registry estimate)
ZT006
Developed by Beijing QL Biopharmaceutical
NCT07307638 · Phase 1 · completed
This is a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled trial, but its primary endpoints are adverse-event rates rather than a weight-loss outcome, and no results have been posted yet, so its effect on body weight is unknown.
Next expected readout: December 2026 · NCT07230132 (registry estimate)
