Efficacy and safety of iGlarLixi versus IDegAsp by baseline β‐cell function in Chinese people with type 2 diabetes: Exploratory analyses of the Soli‐D study

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Secondary analysis of the Soli-D randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

iGlarLixi provides improved glycaemic control at lower insulin daily doses compared with IDegAsp, regardless of C-peptide or HOMA-β levels, in Chinese people with uncontrolled T2D on OADs.

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Week 24
  • Change in HbA1c, FPG or postprandial glucose at Week 24 showed no interaction with fasting C-peptide or HOMA-β quartile
  • iGlarLixi vs IDegAsp: P = 0.045
  • iGlarLixi vs IDegAsp: P = 0.023
  • iGlarLixi vs IDegAsp: P = 0.025
