Type 2 & other diabetes

A post-hoc pooled analysis to evaluate efficacy and safety of insulin glargine 300 U/mL in insulin-naïve people with type 2 diabetes with/without prior use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist therapy

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Post-hoc pooled analysis of interventional and observational studies

Authors' conclusion

Treatment advancement with Gla-300 in patients with T2D, with/without prior GLP-1 RA therapy, improved glycaemic outcomes with no relevant impact on weight, while maintaining a low hypoglycaemia risk.

Study context

Population
Insulin-naïve people with T2D intensifying with insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300)3 analyses
Participants
3,562 people
Comparison
Gla-300 with vs without prior GLP-1 RA therapy
Outcome
HbA1c LS mean change from baseline
Methodological detailspooled analysis of seven interventional studies, subanalysis, expanded analysis including two observational studies
  • Pooled analysis of seven interventional studies
  • Subanalysis
  • Expanded analysis including two observational studies

Pooled result

As reported in the abstract

Prior GLP-1 RA

- 1.7

least squares mean · %

No prior GLP-1 RA

- 1.6

least squares mean · %

Further pooled results

Stopped GLP-1 RA and initiated Gla-300 vs add-on Gla-300 (subanalysis)

Glycaemic outcomes similar; more participants receiving add-on Gla-300 achieved HbA1c targets

Expanded analysis incl. two observational studies

Similar results

Safety

Low incidence of hypoglycaemia, no clinically relevant weight changes in all analyses
