Abstract Aims/Introduction To assess efficacy and safety of insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira) in Japanese participants with type 2 diabetes across different baseline characteristics. Materials and Methods Data from two randomized controlled trials were used: DUAL I Japan (n = 819 insulin‐naïve participants) and DUAL II Japan (n = 210 insulin‐experienced participants). Outcomes were assessed according to baseline glycated hemoglobin ( HbA1c; 65 years in DUAL II Japan. Conclusions IDegLira reduced HbA1c in Japanese participants with type 2 diabetes across baseline HbA1c, body mass index and age categories, without unexpected safety issues.

Abstract Background DUAL I China, one of the DUAL trials, assessed efficacy/safety of insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira) in Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) not controlled by oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs). Methods This phase 3a, treat‐to‐target multicenter trial randomized participants (glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] 53.0‐85.8 mmol/mol; previous metformin ± another OAD) 2:1:1 to IDegLira (n = 361), degludec (n = 179), or liraglutide (n = 180). Primary endpoint was change in HbA1c after 26 weeks. Secondary endpoints included: HbA1c
