Efficacy and safety of the fixed‐ratio combination of insulin degludec and liraglutide by baseline glycated hemoglobin, body mass index and age in Japanese individuals with type 2 diabetes: A subgroup analysis of two phase III trials

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.
