Efficacy of Polyethylene Glycol Loxenatide in Combination with Basal Insulin in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Retrospective Real-World Study.
Introduction: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who cannot achieve normal glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels are sometimes given the combined therapeutic regimen of polyethylene glycol loxenatide (PEG-Loxe) + basal insulin. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of PEG-Loxe combined with basal insulin in patients with T2DM.
Methods: This retrospective, real-world study included patients with T2DM aged ≥ 18 years for whom basal insulin therapy was ineffective, whose HbA1c levels were between 7.0% and 11.0%, and who were on either continued basal insulin dose adjustment or who had received PEG-Loxe + basal insulin combined therapy for at least 24 weeks. The primary endpoint was change in HbA1c level after 24 weeks treatment. Secondary endpoints included HbA1c achievement target rate, change in fasting plasma glucose and body weight, respectively, and change in HbA1c stratified by sex, age, disease duration, and baseline HbA1c level.
Results: Overall, 307 patients were identified. After propensity score matching, 44 patients each were included in the basal insulin and PEG-Loxe + basal insulin group. After 24 weeks, a significant difference in Hb1Ac reduction between the groups (P = 0.003) was observed. Also, patients treated with PEG-Loxe + basal insulin combined therapy experienced greater body weight reduction compared those treated with basal insulin only (intergroup difference: - 3.2 kg; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] - 5.4, - 1.0]; P = 0.005). There was a significant intergroup difference in weight reduction in patients with body mass index ≥ 28 kg/m2 (- 8.4 kg; 95% CI - 13.9, - 3.0; P = 0.004). HbA1c levels in female patients aged < 65 years with HbA1c ≥ 8.5% and with a disease duration ≥ 10 years were significantly different between the two treatment groups (P < 0.005). Hypoglycemic events occurred in 10.4% of patients treated with PEG-Loxe + basal insulin with no cases of level 3 hypoglycemia.
Conclusion: PEG-Loxe + basal insulin combined therapy was safe and effective in patients with T2DM who did not achieve optimal glycemic control with insulin therapy alone.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes 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 areas of diabetes. 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. Diabetes 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.
