Type 2 & other diabetes

iGlarLixi provides improved early glycaemic control after 12 weeks of treatment compared with basal insulin in Asian people with type 2 diabetes: A post hoc analysis of the LixiLan ‐O‐ AP and LixiLan ‐L‐ CN studies

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Post hoc analysis of the LixiLan-O-AP and LixiLan-L-CN studies

Authors' conclusion

In Asian people with T2D suboptimally controlled on OADs or BI, iGlarLixi provided comprehensive earlier glycaemic control than Gla-100.

Study context

Population
Asian people with suboptimally controlled T2D on oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) (LixiLan-O-AP) or basal insulin ± OADs (LixiLan-L-CN)
Comparison
iGlarLixi vs insulin glargine 100 U/mL
Primary endpoint
Early glycaemic control: change from baseline in HbA1c, FPG and PPG
Follow-up
Week 12

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Mean HbA1c reduction

LixiLan-O-AP: greater HbA1c reduction with iGlarLixi vs Gla-100

−1.6% vs. −1.1%

−17.0 vs. −12.0 mmol/mol

LixiLan-L-CN: greater HbA1c reduction with iGlarLixi vs Gla-100

−1.3% vs. −0.5%

−13.9 vs. −5.4 mmol/mol

Further findings

PPG and FPG reductions · Week 12

PPG reductions greater with iGlarLixi; FPG reductions similar

Achievement of target HbA1c or PPG · Weeks 8 and 12

More participants achieved target HbA1c or PPG with iGlarLixi vs Gla-100 in both studies

Median time to HbA1c and PPG targets

LixiLan-O-AP, HbA1c target: shorter with iGlarLixi vs Gla-100
85 vs. 126 days
LixiLan-O-AP, PPG target: shorter with iGlarLixi vs Gla-100
84 vs. 167 days
LixiLan-L-CN, HbA1c target: shorter with iGlarLixi vs Gla-100
85 vs. 239 days
LixiLan-L-CN, PPG target: shorter with iGlarLixi vs Gla-100
85 days vs. not estimable

Median time to FPG target

LixiLan-O-AP: similar, iGlarLixi vs Gla-100
57 vs. 57 days
LixiLan-L-CN: similar, iGlarLixi vs Gla-100
29 vs. 30 days

Safety

Hypoglycaemia incidence similar with iGlarLixi and Gla-100
