Glycaemic Control According to the Final Insulin Dose Using an Innovative Fixed‐Dose Titration of Weekly Insulin Efsitora in Insulin‐Naïve Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Secondary analysis of the QWINT-1 randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

In QWINT-1, the innovative fixed-dose efsitora simple titration resulted in effective HbA1c lowering for all fixed doses. Rates of clinically meaningful hypoglycaemia were low after fixed-dose increases.

Study context

Population
Insulin-naïve adults with T2D treated with once-weekly efsitora in QWINT-1efsitora-treated
Participants
303 adults
Comparison
Efsitora-treated participants by final insulin dose at week 52
Methodological detailsphase 3, fixed-dose titration regimen
  • Phase 3
  • Fixed-dose titration regimen

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Week 52

Participants remaining on a fixed efsitora dose

76%

All efsitora fixed-doses: robust HbA1c lowering, mean final HbA1c

< 7.0%

Safety

Combined level 2 and 3 hypoglycaemia within 4-week periods after an efsitora fixed-dose increase

Estimated rates
< 0.5 events/year
