Type 2 & other diabetes

Proportion of participants with type 2 diabetes achieving a metabolic composite endpoint with once‐weekly semaglutide treatment versus comparators: Post hoc pooled analysis from SUSTAIN 1‐5, 7‐10 and SUSTAIN China

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Post hoc pooled analysis of the SUSTAIN 1-5, 7-10 and SUSTAIN China randomised trials

Authors' conclusion

Treatment with OW SC semaglutide versus comparators was associated with increased proportions of participants with T2D meeting the composite metabolic endpoint.

Study context

Population
Adults (≥18 years) with T2D and HbA1c ≥7.0% (≥53 mmol/mol), randomized in SUSTAIN 1–5, 7–10 and SUSTAIN China
Participants
7,633 adults10 trials
Comparison
Once-weekly (OW) subcutaneous (SC) semaglutide vs comparators
Outcome
Metabolic composite endpoint:
  • HbA1c <7% (<53 mmol/mol)
  • Blood pressure <140/90 mmHg
  • Non-HDL cholesterol <130 mg/dl (<3.37 mmol/L)
Methodological detailspatient-level pooled data
