Introduction: The efficacy of iGlarLixi, a fixed-ratio combination of basal insulin glargine 100 units/mL (iGlar) and the short-acting GLP-1 RA lixisenatide (Lixi), was established in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who were advancing therapy from oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) and basal insulin (BI). This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of iGlarLixi using real-world data from people with T2D in the Adriatic region countries.
Methods: This was a non-interventional, retrospective, multicenter, cohort study with the collection of pre-existing data at iGlarLixi initiation and after 6 months of treatment in real-world clinical and ambulatory settings.
Background: Two types of fixed-ratio combinations of basal insulin and a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) have been approved for use in type 2 diabetes. One is insulin degludec/liraglutide (iDergLira), and the other is insulin glargine/lixisenatide (iGlarLixi). Direct comparisons between these two combination is not available.
