Tresiba® Demonstrated Significantly Improved Blood Sugar Control and Lower Rates of Hypoglycaemia Versus Insulin Glargine U300 in Real-World Evidence Study


Findings from CONFIRM - a large real-world evidence (RWE) study comparing the effectiveness of Tresiba® (insulin degludec injection) versus insulin glargine U300 - will be presented on Monday, 25 June 2018 at the American Diabetes Association's 78th Scientific Sessions (ADA) in Orlando, US. The retrospective, non-interventional comparative effectiveness study, which included more than 4,000 adults with type 2 diabetes who were starting basal insulin for the first time, showed that after six months those treated with Tresiba® had significantly lower HbA1c compared to those treated with insulin glargine U300 (-1.5% vs. -1.2% respectively; p=0.029).[1]
As a secondary endpoint, there was a 30% lower rate of hypoglycaemic episodes with Tresiba® compared to insulin glargine U300 (p=0.045).[1] In this study, hypoglycaemic events, ranging from mild to severe, were registered using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes 9/10 following diagnosis from a physician.[2]
This real-world study also showed in another secondary endpoint that people treated with Tresiba® were more likely to stay on their treatment. Those treated with insulin glargine U300 had a 37% higher rate of discontinuing treatment after two years (p<0 .001="" sup="">[1]
"Real-world studies are important to understanding how clinical trials may translate into real value for patients in everyday clinical practice," said Todd Hobbs, vice president and US chief medical officer of Novo Nordisk. "The CONFIRM results add to the body of evidence on Tresiba® for adults with type 2 diabetes."
