Sanofi announced that Soliqua 100/33 (insulin glargine & lixisenatide injection) 100 Units/mL & 33 mcg/mL lowered mean blood sugar levels (HbA1c) by between 1.09 and 2.41 percent after 30 weeks in adults with type 2 diabetes previously treated with between 15 and 40 units of basal insulin daily. This new post-hoc analysis of data from the LixiLan-L Phase 3 study, which grouped participants by HbA1c level at screening, also showed that all subgroups reached a mean HbA1c below 7 percent during the study period.

This post-hoc analysis reviewed data from the LixiLan-L pivotal Phase III trial, which compared the effectiveness of Soliqua 100/33 and insulin glargine 100 Units/mL in 736 adults whose type 2 diabetes was not adequately controlled at screening on between 15 and 40 units of basal insulin daily, alone or combined with one or two oral anti-diabetic agents. The primary outcome of the LixiLan-L study, a statistically significant reduction in HbA1c compared with insulin glargine 100 Units/mL, was previously reported.
