Introduction: SoliMix (EudraCT: 2017-003370-13) found better HbA1c, weight benefit, and lower hypoglycemia risk requiring less insulin with once-daily iGlarLixi vs. twice-daily premix BIAsp 30 in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) advancing from basal insulin (BI) and oral antihyperglycemic drugs (OADs) .

Methods: Adults with T2D and HbA1c 7.5-% on BI + 1-2 OADs were randomized to iGlarLixi or BIAsp 30 for 26 weeks. Primary outcomes were non-inferiority in HbA1c change or superiority in body weight change with iGlarLixi vs. BIAsp 30. This post hoc analysis assessed SoliMix endpoints by baseline HbA1c (7.5-8, >8-9, >9-%) , insulin dose (<30, ≥30 U/day) , and BMI (<25, ≥25-<30, ≥30-<35, ≥35 kg/m2) .

Results: No differences in treatment effect were seen across subgroups for change in HbA1c or BMI (heterogeneity p>0.10; Table) ; both primary objectives were met in the HbA1c >8-≤9 %, BMI ≥25-<30 kg/m2, and insulin dose subgroups. No differences in treatment effect were seen across subgroups for the lesser insulin dose increments with iGlarLixi vs. BIAsp 30 (p>0.10) . Level 2 hypoglycemia incidence and rates were unaffected by baseline HbA1c and BMI (p>0.10) , but p<0.for events by insulin dose.

Conclusions: Primary SoliMix findings for iGlarLixi vs. BIAsp 30 were consistent across baseline HbA1c and BMI subgroups but inconsistent for baseline insulin dose.
