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

Shared mechanism: GLP-1 receptor · full Obesity pipeline
MET-097i
Developed by Pfizer
NCT06712836 · Phase 2 · completed
The study randomized 239 participants to MET097 or placebo and used quadruple masking of participants, care providers, investigators, and outcome assessors. Its primary endpoint was the clinical outcome of body-weight change at Week 28. Registry results were not posted at the time of grading; the key result shown was recovered from the cited external source.
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.
Next expected readout: January 2027 · NCT07508241 (registry estimate)
semaglutide · Wegovy / Ozempic / Rybelsus
Marketed by Novo Nordisk
NCT03548935 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 1,961 participants. At week 68, mean body-weight change was -15.6% with semaglutide versus -2.8% with placebo, and the primary comparison was statistically significant (p<0.0001), supporting strong evidence for this clinical weight-loss endpoint.
Next expected readout: October 2026 · NCT07505303 (registry estimate)
Type 2 Diabetes
Shared mechanism: GLP-1 receptor · full Type 2 Diabetes pipeline
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.
Next expected readout: October 2027 · NCT07400653 (registry estimate)
semaglutide · Wegovy / Ozempic / Rybelsus
Marketed by Novo Nordisk
NCT01720446 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a large randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 1,648 participants receiving semaglutide and 1,649 receiving placebo. The hard clinical primary endpoint, first major adverse cardiovascular event, occurred in 6.6% versus 8.9% of participants; the prespecified non-inferiority comparison was met (hazard ratio 0.74, 95% CI 0.58–0.95, p<0.0001), and a post hoc superiority analysis was statistically significant (p=0.0167).
Next expected readout: November 2026 · NCT07570810 (registry estimate)
