Trelagliptin vs Vildagliptin
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.

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.

Vildagliptin · Galvus
Developed by Novartis
NCT00099866 · Phase 3 · completed
The study was randomized and double-blind, with an active metformin comparator and 570 participants. Its primary endpoint was the surrogate measure of HbA1c change, and because no trial results are posted, it cannot be determined whether the primary comparison was favorable.
