Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) and SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLTi) are widely used to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D) but trial data on their combined use are limited. We report the first data on oral semaglutide in combination with SGLT2i. This was a post-hoc subgroup analysis of the 52-week, double-blind, double-dummy PIONEER 4 trial (NCT02863419), in which patients with T2D uncontrolled on metformin with or without SGLT2i were randomized 2:2:1 to once-daily oral semaglutide 14 mg, subcutaneous (s.c.) liraglutide 1.8 mg or placebo. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and body weight (BW) data presented are for the trial product estimand (on-trial product without rescue medication). In total, 183 (26%) of 711 patients were receiving SGLT2i treatment at baseline which continued throughout the trial. Subgroups of patients receiving SGLT2i had a lower percentage of females, slightly longer mean T2D duration and higher BW. Changes in HbA1c and BW were similar in patients receiving oral semaglutide or s.c. liraglutide with or without SGLT2i. Occurrence of most gastrointestinal adverse events was similar in patients on GLP-1RA with and without SGLT2i.

In conclusion, improvements in HbA1c and BW after one year as well as safety profile were similar in patients on GLP-1RA with or without background SGLT2i.
