Head-to-head evidence
semaglutide vs XW003
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.

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.

XW003
Developed by Sciwind Biosciences
NCT05813795 · Phase 3 · completed
This randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial (n=664) in adults with overweight or obesity found that ecnoglutide (XW003) produced significantly greater weight loss than placebo at 40 weeks across all three doses tested, up to 13.2% versus about 0.1% with placebo (p<0.0001 for every dose).
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: February 2027 · NCT07073417 (registry estimate)
