Abstract

The proportion of patients achieving the 26-week endpoint was 37.4% with dulaglutide compared to 10.3% with insulin glargine.

  • Dulaglutide showed a higher probability of reaching the fasting serum glucose target without hypoglycemia at weeks 4 and 8.
  • Odds ratios indicated that patients on dulaglutide were 1.78 times more likely to meet the fasting glucose target at week 4 and 1.69 times more likely at week 8 compared to those on insulin glargine.
  • The 26-week endpoint included achieving a glycated hemoglobin level below 7.0% or a reduction of at least 1.0%, without hypoglycemia or weight gain.
  • Dulaglutide's favorable efficacy-to-safety profile was evident early and sustained over 6 months.
