Abstract:
To assess the impact of insulin glargine (100 U/mL) and lixisenatide (iGlarLixi) fixed‐ratio combination therapy on the overall management of glycaemia in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), previously inadequately controlled with oral antidiabetic drugs ± basal insulin or glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs). Materials and Methods This 12‐month, international, multicentre, prospective, observational study included patients (age ≥ 18 years) with T2D who had initiated iGlarLixi within 1 month prior to study inclusion. Data were collected at study inclusion, month 3, month 6 and month 12 from patient diaries, self‐measured plasma glucose, and questionnaires. The primary endpoint was change in HbA1c from baseline to month 6. Results Of the 737 eligible participants (mean age: 57.8 [standard deviation: 11.2] years; male: 49%), 685 had baseline and post‐baseline HbA1c data available. The least squares mean change in HbA1c from baseline to month 6 was −1.4% (standard error [95% confidence interval (CI)] : 0.05 [−1.5, −1.3]). The absolute change from baseline at month 12 was −1.7% ± 1.9% (95% CI: −1.9, −1.5). There were 72 hypoglycaemia events reported during the study period, with a very low incidence of severe hypoglycaemia (two participants [rate: 0.003 events per patient‐year] ). Conclusions This real‐world observational study shows that initiation of iGlarLixi in people with T2D inadequately controlled on oral antidiabetic drugs ± basal insulin or GLP‐1 RAs improves glycaemic control with a low incidence of hypoglycaemia.
