Efficacy and safety of once‐weekly semaglutide versus once‐daily sitagliptin as add‐on to metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes in SUSTAIN China : A 30‐week, double‐blind, phase 3a, randomized trial

Once-weekly semaglutide was superior to sitagliptin in improving glycaemic control and reducing body weight in patients with T2D inadequately controlled on metformin. The safety and tolerability profiles were consistent with those of semaglutide and other GLP-1 RAs. Semaglutide is an effective once-weekly treatment option for the Chinese population.
