Abstract

In a study involving 4006 patients, 1.6% developed anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) after treatment with the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist dulaglutide.

  • Dulaglutide ADAs were present in 64 patients, compared to 0.7% in the non-GLP-1 comparator group.
  • Among the ADA-positive patients, 34 had neutralizing ADAs, indicating potential reduced efficacy.
  • The incidence of hypersensitivity adverse events and injection site reactions was similar between dulaglutide and placebo groups.
  • No patients with dulaglutide ADAs reported hypersensitivity adverse events.
  • Due to the low incidence of ADAs, their impact on glycaemic control could not be determined.
