Authors' conclusion

In this study, URLi administered in a basal-bolus regimen demonstrated superiority to insulin lispro in controlling PPG excursions, with noninferiority of HbA1c control in predominantly Chinese patients with T1D.

Study context

Population

1-hour PPG excursion during mixed-meal tolerance test · week 26−17.8 mg/dL; smaller with URLi · multiplicity-adjusted superiority objective−1.0P < 0.005

Safety

Safety profiles of URLi and insulin lispro were similar
