The real-world observational prospective study of health outcomes with dulaglutide and liraglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes (TROPHIES): Final, 24-month analysis of time to first significant treatment change, treatment persistence and clinical outcomes. Diabetes Obes Metab 2023; 25:3465-3477.

Abstract
AIMS To present the final results of the TROPHIES study (The real-world observational prospective study of health outcomes with dulaglutide and liraglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes). MATERIALS AND METHODS The prospective, real-world TROPHIES study included patients with type 2 diabetes initiating their first injectable glucose-lowering medication (GLM), dulaglutide or liraglutide, in France, Germany and Italy. The primary endpoint was the time spent on dulaglutide or liraglutide until a significant treatment change over 24 months. Other endpoints measured persistence with treatment, clinical outcomes (glycated haemoglobin [HbA1c] and weight) and treatment patterns. Kaplan-Meier estimates of time to first significant treatment change and persistence with treatment were generated. Propensity-score-based inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to adjust for baseline imbalances in the comparison between cohorts. RESULTS The 286 of 1014 patients (28.2%) in the dulaglutide cohort and 448 of 991 patients (45.2%) in the liraglutide cohort had a significant treatment change over 24 months. By IPTW analysis, dulaglutide-initiating patients were less likely to have a significant treatment change (hazard ratio [HR] 0.54, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.46-0.63) and more likely to be persistent with treatment (HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.56-0.86) over 24 months than liraglutide-initiating patients. Dulaglutide and liraglutide yielded similar HbA1c (-11.80 mmol/mol [1.08%] and -11.91 mmol/mol [1.09%]) and weight (-3.5 kg and -3.3 kg) reductions from baseline to 24 months. Few changes in patterns of treatment with other GLMs were observed in the two cohorts. CONCLUSIONS Dulaglutide-initiating patients had a longer time spent without any significant treatment change and higher persistence than those initiating liraglutide. Treatment with either glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist yielded similar and clinically meaningful reductions in HbA1c and body weight.

Abstract
Introduction The aim of this study was to describe appetite and glucose fluctuation in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients initiating treatment with dulaglutide combined with insulin degludec. Methods This retrospective study of patients identified adults starting treatment with once-weekly (QW) dulaglutide combined with insulin degludec (experimental group) or insulin degludec alone (control group). Patients were followed for up to 6 months from treatment initiation. The clinical characteristics of patients, treatment patterns, CGM data, and appetite scores were obtained for the two groups. Results A total of 236 patients were included in this study. SDBG, MAGE, LAGE, and PPGE of the experimental group were lower than the control group's (P < 0.05). The proportions of patients achieving a time in range (TIR) of ≥70% in the experimental group were higher than in the control group, with 43% and 10% on the second day, 88% and 47% on the fourth day, 95% and 47% on the seventh day, and 100% and 67% on the tenth day, respectively. Significant associations existed between TIR and the prevalence of islet function. At six months, 89.2% of patients in the experimental group were still using dulaglutide. Appetite decreased significantly at 1 week and increased at 3 months after treatment with dulaglutide. Conclusion Dulaglutide combined with insulin degludec significantly reduces glucose fluctuations in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and improves the TIR rate. However, the treatment on appetite could decrease in the first three months.

Abstract
AIMS To describe clinical characteristics, treatment patterns and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) persistence in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) initiating their first GLP-1 RA. MATERIALS AND METHODS A real-world analysis of adults with T2D initiating GLP-1 RA therapy between 2007 and June 2020 from the multicentre Diabetes Prospective Follow-Up (DPV) Registry, stratified by antidiabetes therapy at the time of GLP-1 RA initiation: oral antidiabetic drugs (OAD), insulin ± OAD or lifestyle modification (LM). GLP-1 RA treatment persistence in individuals with ≥12 months follow-up was determined by Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS Overall, 15 111 individuals with T2D initiating GLP-1 RA therapy (55% men) were identified; median [interquartile range (IQR)] age [58.7 (50.6-66.7) years], diabetes duration [8.5 (3.6-14.7) years], glycated haemoglobin [HbA1c; 8.2 (7.1-9.8)%]. Median (95% confidence interval) GLP-1 RA persistence in eligible individuals (n = 5189) was 11 (10-12) months; OAD 12 (11-14) months (n = 2453); insulin ± OAD 11 (9-12) months (n = 2204); and LM 7 (5-9) months (n = 532). Median treatment persistence tended to increase from 2007-2012 to 2017-2020. Median (IQR) HbA1c decreased from baseline [8.2 (7.1-9.8)%] to discontinuation [7.5 (6.6-8.7)%], with a greater decrease observed in individuals with persistence >12 months versus ≤12 months. Individuals who discontinued GLP-1 RA therapy predominantly switched to insulin (if not already using) or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors. CONCLUSION Real-world registry data revealed improved outcomes with longer median GLP-1 RA persistence; ~50% of patients overall achieved HbA1c <7% at 12 months. Persistence was highest with baseline OAD and/or insulin, and tended to increase over the period 2007-2020.

Lee DSU, Lee H. Adherence and persistence rates of major antidiabetic medications: a review. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2022; 14:12. [PMID: 35033161 PMCID: PMC8761325 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-022-00785-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2021] [Accepted: 01/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The objective of this paper was to review the adherence and persistence rates of major antidiabetic medication classes (i.e., metformin, sulfonylureas, sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, insulin, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, and thiazolidinediones) by summarizing the major findings of the studies published since 2017. In addition, we reported the potential causes for low adherence and persistence of antidiabetic medications. Based on the literature, the highest rate of adherence and persistence was consistently observed in metformin users. Second to metformin were sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors. Injectable therapies such as insulin and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists trailed low on the adherence and persistence rates. To the best of our knowledge, no studies published since the year 2017 analyzed the adherence and persistence of thiazolidinediones independently. The most frequently cited cause for low adherence and persistence was the severity of adverse events. Baseline characteristics (e.g., baseline HbA1c level), demographic information (e.g., age, gender, or ethnicity), and comorbidity profiles also had significant impacts on adherence and persistence in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Real-world effectiveness of liraglutide versus dulaglutide in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes: a retrospective study. Sci Rep 2022; 12:154. [PMID: 34997102 PMCID: PMC8742102 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-04149-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Real-world data comparing the effectiveness of various glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are limited. We investigated the clinical effectiveness of liraglutide and dulaglutide in Japanese T2DM in a real-world setting. This retrospective study included 179 patients with T2DM who were treated with GLP-1 RA for at least 12 months (liraglutide, n = 97; dulaglutide, n = 82). We used stabilized propensity score-based inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) to reduce selection bias and confounding by observed covariates. Changes in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) at the end of the 12-month treatment were evaluated. After adjustment by stabilized propensity score-based IPTW, no significant differences were observed in patient characteristics between the liraglutide and dulaglutide groups. HbA1c was significantly lower at 12 months in both groups (liraglutide, 8.9 to 7.4%; dulaglutide, 8.7 to 7.5%). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed no differences in the extent of changes in HbA1c at 12 months between the two agents. High baseline HbA1c, the addition of GLP-1 RA treatment modality, and in-hospital initiation of GLP-1 RA treatment were identified as significant contributing factors to HbA1c reduction. The effects of liraglutide and dulaglutide on lowering HbA1c levels at 12 months were comparable in a real-world setting.
