ACHIEVE Control demonstrated superiority of Gla-300 vs. standard of care (SOC) BIs (glargine 100 U/mL and detemir), with a significantly greater proportion of insulin-naive T2D pts treated with Gla-300 achieving the composite primary endpoint of individualized HEDIS A1C targets at 6 months without severe and/or symptomatic documented hypoglycemia (blood glucose [BG] ≤70 mg/dL). Here we report outcomes in pts with and without CVD at baseline (BL). Characteristics at BL were generally well balanced between treatments, with a potential difference in GLP-1 receptor agonist use in CVD pts. In pts without CVD, outcomes consistently favored Gla-300 (Table). In CVD pts, composite endpoint attainment at 12 months was similar with Gla-300 and SOC-BI, while avoidance of hypoglycemia, especially serious hypoglycemia (BG <54 mg/dL), showed a trend favoring Gla-300 (Table); changes in A1C from BL to 12 months with Gla-300 and SOC-BI were similar (LS mean difference [95% CI] 0.12% [-0.12 to 0.35]; p=0.34). The results of this analysis are promising and warrant further exploration of the possibility that the more stable action profile of Gla-300 translates to T2D patients with CVD experiencing serious hypoglycemia less often with Gla-300 than first-generation BIs.
