However, few studies have been conducted to determine the clinical efficacy and parameters affecting the response to this combination in a real-world setting. This study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy and parameters affecting the glycemic response to dulaglutide as an add-on to insulin therapy for T2DM in a real-world clinical setting.Patients and methods: A retrospective study was performed in 120 patients with T2DM who had initiated dulaglutide as an add-on to insulin therapy between January 2017 and December 2018. After 6 months of treatment, the change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was evaluated. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the parameters affecting the therapeutic response to dulaglutide.Results: The mean age of the patients was 55.1 years and 57.5% were male. The mean baseline HbA1c, body mass index, and duration of diabetes were 9.1%, 27.5 kg/m2, and 17.2 years, respectively. The change in HbA1c between baseline and 6 months was −0.97% (95% confidence interval [CI]: −1.28 to −0.66%, P<0.001), the change in body weight was −2.05 kg (95% CI: −2.93 to −1.17 kg, P<0.001), and the change in total daily insulin dose was −11.67 IU (95% CI: −14.55 to −8.78 IU, P<0.001). In multiple linear regression analysis, higher baseline HbA1c was associated with a greater reduction in HbA1c. The most frequent adverse events were gastrointestinal symptoms, but these were well-tolerated.Conclusion: Dulaglutide treatment in combination with insulin resulted in a significant improvement in HbA1c and body weight over a 6-month period in a real-world clinical setting. Higher baseline HbA1c was associated with a good clinical response.Keywords: dulaglutide, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, insulin therapy, glycemic control, diabetes mellitusLee JCho YKKim HSJung CHPark JYLee WJDove Medical Pressarticledulaglutideglucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonistinsulin therapyglycemic controldiabetes mellitusSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 12, Pp 2745-2753 (2019)
