Results from the main analysis: 4-arm model with 56 patients in the basal–bolus arm

(a) Estimated responder rates per treatment arm, based on a logistic regression model
IDegLira (N = 199) GLP-1RA add-on to basal insulin (N = 225) Basal–bolus (N = 56) Basal-only (glargine) (N = 329)
ΔHbA1c in all subjects, % −1.68 −1.33 −1.39 −1.03
ΔHbA1c in all subjects, mmol/mol −18 −15 −15 −11
HbA1c <7.0% (53 mmol/mol) 64.7%  47.1%  52.8%  31.9% 
HbA1c <7.0% without hypoglycemia 45.6% 35.5% 5.0% 15.6%
HbA1c <7.0% without hypoglycemia and no weight gain 39.1% 33.2% 0% 7.7%
(b) Estimated odds ratios for responder rates for IDegLira versus comparators in all subjects, based on a logistic regression model
In all subjects IDegLira versus GLP-1RA add-on to basal insulin IDegLira versus basal–bolus with insulin glargine as basal component IDegLira versus basal-only (up-titrated insulin glargine)
Odds ratio 95% CI P value Odds ratio 95% CI P value Odds ratio 95% CI P value
HbA1c <7.0% (53 mmol/mol) 2.06 (1.28; 3.31) 0.003 1.64 (0.86; 3.12) 0.13 3.91 (2.58; 5.93) <0.0001
HbA1c <7.0% without hypoglycemia 1.53 (0.95; 2.47) 0.084 16.05 (4.71; 54.66) <0.0001 4.53 (2.87; 7.14) <0.0001
HbA1c <7.0% without hypoglycemia and no weight gain 1.29 (0.77; 2.14) 0.33 NA NA NA 7.71 (4.50; 13.19) <0.0001

Rates are shown as percentage of patients, except for HbA1c changes

NA not applicable; insufficient data to estimate due to estimated 0% of patients in the basal–bolus arm (with insulin glargine as a basal component) who achieved HbA1c <7.0%, without hypoglycemia and no weight gain

Δ change from baseline, GLP-1RA glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, HbA 1c glycated hemoglobin, IDegLira insulin degludec/liraglutide
