Head-to-head evidence
MET-097i vs PEX168
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.

MET-097i
Developed by Pfizer
NCT06897202 · Phase 2 · completed
The trial randomly assigned 133 participants to MET097 or placebo and was double-blinded, with percent change in body weight as the primary clinical endpoint. However, because no primary efficacy results are available, it is not possible to determine whether the endpoint was met.
Figures from conference coverage of the ADA 2026 presentation; weight change is from baseline, not placebo-adjusted, and no significance testing was reported for the weight endpoint. Caveat: this result is taken from a company announcement or a news report of one, not from the trial registry or a peer-reviewed publication. Treat the figures as the sponsor's own statement, not as independently verified evidence.

PEX168
Developed by Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals and partners
NCT02477969 · Phase 3 · status unknown
This was a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 587 participants, testing PEX168 against placebo, both added to metformin, using change in HbA1c as the primary measure. A published report of the trial's results describes the primary endpoint as met, with substantially more PEX168 patients than placebo patients reaching HbA1c targets at 24 weeks.
