This analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of dulaglutide in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) aged ≥ 60 and < 60 years.
This post hoc analysis included patients with T2D enrolled in two phase 3 clinical trials AWARD-CHN1 (NCT01644500) and AWARD-CHN2 (NCT01648582) of dulaglutide 0.75 and 1.5 mg. Patients were categorized into two groups (≥ 60 and < 60 years). Efficacy outcomes (change in glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c], fasting blood glucose [FBG], and weight; percentage of patients achieving HbA1c target [< 7.0%]) and safety outcomes (incidence of hypoglycemia and gastrointestinal treatment-emergent adverse events [GI TEAEs]) at 26 weeks were evaluated for each age group in both trials.
A total of 766 patients (≥ 60 years, n = 222; < 60 years, n = 544) were included in the study. A similar reduction of HbA1c was observed in both age groups: AWARD-CHN1, 1.5 mg (least squares mean [LSM] 95% confidence interval [CI] ≥ 60 years: - 1.45% [- 1.69, - 1.21%] and < 60 years: - 1.43% [- 1.59, - 1.28%]) and 0.75 mg (≥ 60 years: - 1.29% [- 1.53, - 1.05%] and < 60 years: - 1.18% [- 1.33, - 1.03%]); AWARD-CHN2, 1.5 mg (≥ 60 years: - 1.60% [- 1.83, - 1.36%] and < 60 years: - 1.64% [- 1.80, - 1.49%]) and 0.75 mg (≥ 60 years: - 1.31% [- 1.55, - 1.08%] and < 60 years: - 1.33% [- 1.48, - 1.17%]). Dulaglutide showed a reduction in HbA1c as early as 4 weeks after initiation of treatment, which was maintained over 26 weeks in both age groups. The percentage of patients achieving HbA1c target < 7.0% at 26 weeks was also similar in both age groups. Incidence of hypoglycemia and GI TEAEs was low in each age group.
Treatment with once-weekly dulaglutide improved glycemic control in patients with T2D aged ≥ 60 years and < 60 years and was well tolerated in older patients, suggesting it can be considered a safe and effective treatment option for use in older patients with T2D.

本分析评估了度拉糖肽在≥60岁和<60岁的中国2型糖尿病(T2D)患者中的疗效和安全性。
这项事后分析纳入了参加两项度拉糖肽0.75毫克和1.5毫克的3期临床试验AWARD-CHN1(NCT01644500)和AWARD-CHN2(NCT01648582)的T2D患者。患者被分为两组(≥60岁和<60岁)。对两项试验中每个年龄组在26周时的疗效结果(糖化血红蛋白[HbA1c]、空腹血糖[FBG]和体重变化;达到HbA1c目标[<7.0%]的患者百分比)和安全性结果(低血糖发生率和胃肠道治疗中出现的不良事件[GI TEAEs])进行了评估。
该研究共纳入766例患者(≥60岁,n = 222;<60岁,n = 544)。两个年龄组的HbA1c均有类似程度的降低:AWARD-CHN1,1.5毫克组(最小二乘均值[LSM] 95%置信区间[CI]≥60岁:-1.45%[-1.69,-1.21%],<60岁:-1.43%[-1.59,-1.28%])和0.75毫克组(≥60岁:-1.29%[-1.53,-1.05%],<60岁:-1.18%[-1.33,-1.03%]);AWARD-CHN2,1.5毫克组(≥60岁:-1.60%[-1.83,-1.36%],<60岁:-1.64%[-1.80,-1.49%])和0.75毫克组(≥60岁:-1.31%[-1.55,-1.08%],<60岁:-1.33%[-1.48,-1.17%])。度拉糖肽在治疗开始后4周时就显示出HbA1c降低,且在两个年龄组中均维持了26周。两个年龄组在26周时达到HbA1c目标<7.0%的患者百分比也相似。每个年龄组的低血糖和胃肠道治疗中出现的不良事件发生率都很低。
每周一次使用度拉糖肽治疗可改善≥60岁和<60岁的T2D患者的血糖控制,且老年患者耐受性良好,这表明它可被视为老年T2D患者安全有效的治疗选择。
