Fixed-ratio combinations (FRCs) of basal insulin plus a GLP-1 receptor agonist (RA) offer simple administration of complementary injectable therapies for T2D. Effects of switching to a titratable FRC of insulin glargine plus lixisenatide (iGlarLixi) in T2D patients (pts) receiving GLP-1 RAs have been unknown. LixiLan-G (NCT02787551), a randomized, open-label, 26-week trial, compared switching to iGlarLixi vs. continuing a GLP-1 RA in T2D pts with HbA1c 7‒9%, receiving a maximum tolerated dose of a QD/BID GLP-1 RA (60% of pts: liraglutide QD, exenatide BID), or a QW GLP-1 RA (40% of pts: dulaglutide, exenatide extended-release, or albiglutide) with metformin ± pioglitazone ± SGLT2i. Adherence to randomized treatment was reinforced and monitored throughout the study. iGlarLixi (n=257) provided greater HbA1c reductions than GLP-1 RA (n=257), from 7.8% at baseline to 6.7% and 7.4%, respectively (LS mean difference [primary endpoint] ‒0.6%; p&lt;0.0001 [Table]). More iGlarLixi pts achieved HbA1c targets and the composite of HbA1c &lt;7% without documented symptomatic hypoglycemia (&lt;54 mg/dL). Documented symptomatic hypoglycemia, nausea, and vomiting rates were low but greater with iGlarLixi vs. GLP-1 RA.

In conclusion, switching to iGlarLixi can further improve glucose control for T2D pts receiving the maximum tolerated GLP-1 RA dose with OAD(s).
