Head-to-head evidence
Saxagliptin vs Yogliptin
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
Saxagliptin · Onglyza

NCT00121667 · Phase 3 · completed
Large randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial (743 treated participants across three saxagliptin doses and one placebo arm, all on background metformin). The primary endpoint was change from baseline in hemoglobin A1c at Week 24, an accepted hard glycemic measure for type 2 diabetes, and every saxagliptin dose showed a statistically significant improvement versus placebo (adjusted differences of -0.73, -0.83, and -0.72 percentage points, each p<0.0001). Because the trial was adequately powered, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, and the primary comparison was met, this is strong evidence for saxagliptin's efficacy.
Next expected readout: October 2026 · NCT07033585 (registry estimate)
Yogliptin
Developed by Chengdu Easton Biopharmaceuticals
NCT05318326 · Phase 3 · status unknown
The trial randomly assigns patients to Yogliptin or a matching placebo and blinds patients, care providers, investigators and outcome assessors alike, using HbA1c change, the standard regulator-accepted measure for diabetes drugs, as its main result. Results have not been posted yet, so whether Yogliptin lowered blood sugar significantly more than placebo is not yet known.
