Head-to-head evidence
Teneligliptin vs Trelagliptin
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.

Teneligliptin · Tenelia
Developed by Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma
NCT00974090 · Phase 3 · completed
The trial was properly randomized and double-blinded with a placebo control and a real hard clinical endpoint (HbA1c change), and enrollment (~96-98 per arm) was reasonable for a 12-week phase 3 add-on study. However, the posted results report only least-squares mean changes with standard errors and no explicit statistical significance test for the primary comparison, so while the numeric difference favors teneligliptin, whether it formally met its pre-specified endpoint cannot be confirmed from this record alone.
Trelagliptin · Zafatek
Developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company
NCT03940183 · Phase 3 · completed
The trial randomized 254 participants to trelagliptin or placebo and used quadruple blinding. Its primary endpoint was the surrogate measure of change in HbA1c at week 24, but results were not posted, so whether the comparison favored trelagliptin is unknown.
Next expected readout: December 2026 · NCT07073768 (registry estimate)
