Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Indicators to Guide Dose Titration of Weekly Basal Insulin Efsitora Alfa in Insulin-Naive and Basal Insulin-Experienced Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: A Retrospective Analysis

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Retrospective analysis of the QWINT-2 and QWINT-3 phase 3 trials

Authors' conclusion

In insulin-naive and basal insulin-experienced populations treated with weekly efsitora, CGM indicators of hypoglycemia and fasting glucose yielded clinically equivalent dose titration decisions as CGM-derived hypoglycemic events and self-monitoring FPG, respectively.

Study context

Population
Insulin-naive and basal insulin-experienced adults with T2D treated with weekly insulin efsitora alfa
Participants
466 vs 655
Exposure
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-derived indicators vs self-monitoring fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and CGM-derived hypoglycemic events for weekly efsitora titration
  • QWINT-2n = 466
  • QWINT-3n = 655
Outcome
Agreement of CGM indicators with reference titration criteria
Methodological detailsdose-to-dose comparison, concordance analysis
  • Dose-to-dose comparison
  • Concordance analysis

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

CGM hypoglycemia indicators: agreement with CGM-derived hypoglycemic events in QWINT-2 and QWINT-3

91.5%-98.3%

CGM fasting indicators "Lowest median of ambulatory glucose profile (AGP)" and "Typical fasting 25% from AGP" clinically equivalent with FPG: dose decisions with dose differences within 20 weekly units, both studies

90.7%-93.4%

Observational data: associations, not effects.
