Abstract
Introduction: To investigate outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes who switched to once-weekly (OW) semaglutide from another glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) in clinical practice.
Methods: This post hoc analysis used data from the SemaglUtide Real-world Evidence (SURE) program, which included nine observational studies investigating the initiation of OW semaglutide in people with type 2 diabetes in routine clinical practice. Using a random coefficient-adjusted mixed model for repeated measurements, changes in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), body weight, and body mass index were analyzed for GLP-1RA-experienced patients who had at least one documented HbA1c value within the 12 weeks before switching to OW semaglutide. In addition, descriptive statistics were used for HbA1c, body weight target achievement, and safety data.
Results: Of the 3,505 patients included in the nine SURE studies, 651 switched to OW semaglutide from another GLP-1RA. GLP-1RA-experienced patients who switched to OW semaglutide demonstrated a 0.67%-point [95% confidence interval (CI) - 0.74; - 0.60, p < 0.0001] reduction in HbA1c, and a 3.69-kg [95% CI - 3.98; - 3.41, p < 0.0001] reduction in body weight over 30 weeks. A body weight reduction of ≥ 5% was achieved by 27.6% of patients, and 33.3% of patients with baseline HbA1c ≥ 7% achieved HbA1c < 7% at end of study. No new safety concerns were identified.
Conclusions: Data from this post hoc analysis suggest that, for those not adequately responding to treatment with other GLP-1RAs, switching to OW semaglutide could provide additional glycemic and weight benefits with the convenience of an OW dosing regimen.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Advances in Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
