Objective: To assess efficacy and safety of insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) versus (vs) insulin glargine 100 U/mL (Gla-100) in North American and non-North American people with type 2 diabetes mellitus on different background therapies.
Methods: A patient-level meta-analysis of three international studies (EDITION 1, 2 and 3) was performed to examine glycemic control and hypoglycemia over 6 months in 2496 participants including 1420 participants in a North American sub-population (Gla-300, N=700; Gla-100, N=720). Endpoints included change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), percentage of patients at target HbA1c at Month 6, incidence and rate of hypoglycemic events, change in body weight and insulin dose, as well as incidence of adverse events.
Results: Mean change in HbA1c was comparable for Gla-300 and Gla100 in both r.. View More»
