Real-World Study on Effectiveness of Insulin Glargine U300 After Oral Antidiabetic Drug Failure in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes in the Gulf Region
ConclusionsIn the Gulf, Gla-300 in patients with T2DM uncontrolled on OADs improved glycemic control, with low rates of hypoglycemia and improved PROs. Gla-300 dose up-titration from baseline to month 6 did not, however, result in a vast proportion of patients achieving their pre-determined HbA1c targets.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03703869.

Cardiovascular Outcomes in GRADE (Glycemia Reduction Approaches in Type 2 Diabetes: A Comparative Effectiveness Study)
CONCLUSIONS: This comparative effectiveness study of a contemporary cohort of adults with type 2 diabetes, largely without established cardiovascular disease, suggests that liraglutide treatment may reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients at relatively low risk compared with other commonly used glucose-lowering medications.REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT01794143.PMID:38344820 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.066604 (Source: Circulation)

Effectiveness and safety of insulin glargine U-300 as compared to insulin glargine U-100 in oral antidiabetic (OAD) failure cases —record-based observational study
ConclusionThe results suggest that insulin glargine U-300 is an effective and safer treatment option than insulin glargine U-100 for Indian patients with OAD failure. These findings have the potential to improve the management of type 2 diabetes patients with OAD failure globally. (Source: International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries)

Comparative Analysis of PEG ‐Free and PEG‐Based Self‐Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems for Enhanced Oral Bioavailability of Therapeutic (Poly) Peptides
This study presents a novel strategy to boost oral bioavailability of insulin glargine (IG) using polyglycerol/zwitterion-based self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (PG/ZW-SEDDS) as an alternative to polyethylene glycol-based SEDDS (PEG-SEDDS). Research focuses on optimizing hydrophobic ion pairing (HIP) complexation, developing a PEG-free SEDDS, and evaluating its oral IG bioavailability versus PEG-based SEDDS in rats, advancing diabetes therapeutics. AbstractThis study aims to compare the potential of Polyethylene glycol (PEG-free and PEG-based self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) for the oral administration ...

Efficacy and safety of insulin glargine 300 units/mL vs insulin degludec in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionThere is no evidence of a difference between IDeg and IGla-300 in the mean change in HbA1c and the risk of anytime, nocturnal, and severe hypoglycemia. IDeg appeared to cause a higher reduction in FPG compared to IGla-300. However, this finding should be interpreted with caution due to the small number of trials included and their high risk of bias.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42022364891, identifier CRD42022364891.

Se-Glargine : Chemical Synthesis of a Basal Insulin Analogue Stabilized by an Internal Diselenide Bridge
We describe the chemical synthesis of a basal insulin analogue stabilized by substitution of an internal cystine (A6-A11) by a diselenide bridge. The studies focused on insulin glargine (formulated as Lantus® and Toujeo®; Sanofi). Prepared at pH 4 in the presence of zinc ions, glargine exhibits a shifted isoelectric point due to a basic B chain extension (ArgB31-ArgB32). Subcutaneous injection leads to pH-dependent precipitation of a long-lived depot. Pairwise substitution of CysA6 and CysA11 by selenocysteine was effected by solid-phase peptide synthesis; the modified A chain also contained substitution of AsnA21 by Gly...

EE628 Cost of Basal Insulin Therapy in France: An Observational Longitudinal Study
Second-generation basal insulins like insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) have a longer duration of action and less intra-day fluctuation and inter-day variability than first-generation ones, such as glargine 100 U/mL (Gla-100). The EF-BI study, a nationwide observational, retrospective study, was designed to compare the total costs of care associated with the initiation of such basal insulins (BI) in real-life setting in France.
