Guidelines emphasize achieving glycemic targets without hypoglycemia. BRIGHT demonstrated similar HbA1c reduction and less anytime (24 h) hypoglycemia with insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) vs. insulin degludec 100 U/mL (IDeg) during the initial 12-week insulin titration period, in insulin-naïve adults with T2DM. We investigated achievement of ADA-recommended HbA1c and fasting self-monitored plasma glucose (FSMPG) targets without confirmed (≤70 mg/dL) hypoglycemia in the first 12 weeks.

BRIGHT was a 24-week, multicenter, open-label, randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, phase 4 trial. Participants were randomized to Gla-300 (n=466) or IDeg (n=463), titrated to a FSMPG of 80-100 mg/dL (below ADA-recommended FSMPG target of ≤130 mg/dL).

A similar proportion of participants at week 8 achieved HbA1c &lt;7% without hypoglycemia in both groups; this proportion was numerically higher with Gla-300 than IDeg at week 12 (16.9% vs. 13.6%). From baseline to week 5, numerically more patients with IDeg achieved FSMPG ≤130 mg/dL without hypoglycemia vs. Gla-300, but from week 6 to 12 this was reversed (Figure). More participants achieved ADA-recommended glycemic targets without hypoglycemia with Gla-300 vs. IDeg during the titration period of BRIGHT. These second-generation basal insulin analogs may allow more aggressive titration after insulin initiation in T2DM.
