“…This post hoc analysis investigated the impact of clinically relevant subject characteristics on treatment effects of semaglutide versus dulaglutide.Design Analyses by baseline age (&lt;65, ≥65 years), sex (male, female), diabetes duration (≤5, &gt;5–10, &gt;10 years), HbA1c (≤7.5, &gt;7.5–8.5, &gt;8.5% (≤58, &gt;58–69, &gt;69 mmol/mol)) and body mass index (BMI) (&lt;30, 30–&lt;35, ≥35 kg/m2).Setting 194 sites; 16 countries.Participants Subjects with T2D (n=1199) exposed to treatment.Interventions Semaglutide 0.5 mg versus dulaglutide 0.75 mg (low-dose comparison); semaglutide 1.0 mg versus dulaglutide 1.5 mg (high-dose comparison), all subcutaneously once weekly.Primary and secondary outcome measures Change in HbA1c (primary endpoint) and BW (confirmatory secondary endpoint) from baseline to week 40; proportion of subjects achieving HbA1c targets (&lt;7%, ≤6.5% (&lt;53, ≤48 mmol/mol)) and weight-loss responses (≥5%, ≥10%) at week 40; and safety.Results HbA1c and BW reductions (estimated treatment difference ranges: –0.22 to –0.70%-point; –1.76 to –3.84 kg) and proportion of subjects achieving HbA1c targets and weight-loss responses were statistically significantly greater for the majority of comparisons of semaglutide versus dulaglutide within each subgroup category and, excepting glycaemic control within the low-dose comparison in HbA1c subgroups, this was irrespective of subgroup or dose comparison. …”
