Efficacy and Safety of iGlarLixi Versus Insulin Glargine Plus Dulaglutide in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Phase 4
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Glucose, High Blood
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04893148
Lead Sponsor
Chungbuk National University Hospital
Brief Summary

The investigators aimed to compare efficacy and safety of IGlarLixi and insulin glargine plus dulaglutide as intensification from basal insulin with metformin, in the absence of head-to-head trials.

Detailed Description

Fixed-dose combinations of insulin glargine/lixisenatide (IGlarLixi) or insulin glargine plus dulaglutide constitute treatment intensification in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). The investigators aimed to compare efficacy and safety of IGlarLixi and insulin glargine plus dulaglutide as intensification from basal insulin with metformin, in the absence of head-to-head trials. Treatments were compared in terms of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) change from baseline, and variables from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system; in addition to safety issues on hypoglycemia and changes in weight.

GroupInterventionDescription
iGlar/LixiIGlarLixiSwitching to IGlarLixi from insulin glargine iGlar/Lixi starts with the following doses depending on the existing insulin glargine dose: 1) insulin glargine \<20 unit/day = iGlar/Lixi 10 unit/day, 2) insulin glargine \>=20 unit/day = iGlar/Lixi 20 unit/day. Training to increase the iGlar/Lixi dosage every 3 days to meet the target fasting blood glucose level to 80\~130 mg/day
Dulaglutide plus insulin glargineDulaglutideAdding Dulaglutide to insulin glargine. Keep insulin glargine and dulaglutide start at 0.75 mg per week and increase to 1.5 mg per week after 1 month with evaluating compliance and tolerability.
