insulin-degludec and Drug-Related-Side-Effects-and-Adverse-Reactions

To evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects of IDegLira and IGlarLixi treatment and to perform a comparison between two strategies.. The registration number is CRD42017053952. Randomized controlled trials of IGlarLixi treatment or IDegLira treatment compared with placebo or active hypoglycemic agents in type 2 diabetes were included.. Eight trials were included. The absolute HbA1c change relative to baseline after IGlarLixi treatment was -1.50% with significance (95% CI, -1.89% to -1.12%, p < 0.01); the absolute HbA1c change after IDegLira treatment was -1.89% with significance (95% CI, -2.04% to -1.73%, p < 0.01). Comparisons between IGlarLixi treatment and IDegLira treatment indicated no significant differences between groups. The absolute weight change after IGlarLixi treatment significantly decreased (weighted mean difference (WMD), -0.62 kg; 95% CI, -0.93 to -0.31 kg, p = < 0.01), but the absolute weight change after IDegLira treatment was not significantly changed (WMD, -0.81 kg; 95% CI, -3.26 to 1.65 kg, p = 0.52). There were no significant differences between groups.. Glucose control of IGlarLixi treatment or IDegLira treatment was significantly lower than that at baseline. Comparisons between the two treatment groups indicated no significant differences between groups in absolute HbA1c changes or body weight changes relative to baseline.

To investigate the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira) versus insulin glargine 100 units/mL (IGlar U100) as add-on to sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor therapy.. In this 26-week, phase IIIb, open-label, parallel-group, treat-to-target trial, conducted at 74 sites in 11 countries, insulin-naïve people aged ≥18 years with glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) 53-97 mmol/mol (7.0-11.0%), body mass index 20-40 kg/m. A total of 210 participants were randomized to each treatment arm. Mean HbA1c reductions were 21 mmol/mol (1.9%-points) with IDegLira and 18 mmol/mol (1.7%-points) with IGlar U100; confirming non-inferiority (P < 0.0001) and superiority of IDegLira (difference in HbA1c change -3.90 mmol/mol; 95% confidence interval [CI] -5.45; -2.35 (-0.36%-points; 95% CI -0.50, -0.21)). Superiority for IDegLira over IGlar U100 was also confirmed for: body weight (difference -1.92 kg; 95% CI -2.64, -1.19); severe or blood-glucose-confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemia (rate ratio 0.42; 95% CI 0.23, 0.75); total daily insulin dose (difference -15.37 U; 95% CI -19.60, -11.13). The overall treatment-emergent adverse event rate was higher with IDegLira as a result of higher increased lipase and nausea rates.. The favourable safety and efficacy profile of IDegLira in people with uncontrolled T2D on SGLT2 inhibitors, and lower weight gain and hypoglycaemia risk versus IGlar U100, suggest that clinicians should consider IDegLira initiation in this population.
