Clinical trial of dulaglutide combined with insulin aspart and metformin in the treatment of elderly patients with T2DM and obesity
Objective To observe the effect of dulaglutide combined with insulin aspart and metformin on blood glucose,pancreatic beta-cell status and physique in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and obesity.Methods Elderly patients with T2DM and obesity were divided into the control group and the treatment group according to the queue method.Both groups were given intensive insulin therapy with insulin aspart injection at 0.4-0.6 U·kg-1·d-1 and oral administration of 0.5 g of metformin tablets,tid.A week later,the treatment of control group was switched to sequential therapy with insulin glargine injection at an initial dose of 0.4-0.6 U·kg-1·d-1,qn.The dose was adjusted according to blood glucose concentration.During this period,0.5 g of metformin tablets was administrated,tid,for 12 consecutive weeks.Meanwhile,treatment of the treatment group was switched to sequential therapy with 1.5 mg of dulaglutide injection,once a week.During this period,0.5 g of metformin tablets was administrated,tid,for 12 consecutive weeks.The two groups were compared in terms of clinical efficacy,blood glucose level[glycosylated hemoglobin(HbAlc),fasting plasma glucose(FPG)],pancreatic beta-cell status[fasting insulin(FINS),homeostasis model assessment-β(HOMA-β)and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR)],and physical parameters[waist circumference and body mass index(BMI)].Safety was evaluated.Results Fifty-three cases and fifty-one cases were included in the treatment group and the control group,respectively.After treatment,the total effective rates of the treatment group and the control group were 98.11％(52 cases/53 cases)and 84.31％(43 cases/51 cases),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).After treatment,HbAlc in the treatment and the control group were(7.01±0.75)％and(7.63±0.82)％;FPG levels were(6.23±0.70)and(6.62±0.74)mmol·L-1;FINS levels were(5.25±1.06)and(6.48±1.12)mU·L-1;HOMA-β were 32.62±6.53 and 27.19±5.18;HOMA-IR were 1.31±0.25 and 1.65±0.28;waist circumference were(82.31±6.04)and(85.79±6.82)cm;BMI were(27.14±1.23)and(27.91±1.15)kg·m-2.The differences in above indicators between the treatment group and the control group were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Adverse drug reactions in the treatment group mainly included nausea,vomiting and skin rash.Adverse drug reactions in the control group mainly included nausea and vomiting.The total incidence rates of adverse drug reactions in the treatment and the control group were 11.32％and 9.80％,without statistically significant difference(P＞0.05).Conclusion Dulaglutide combined with insulin aspart and metformin can effectively improve blood glucose,lipids,inflammation and pancreatic β-cell status in elderly patients with T2DM and obesity,reduce glycemic excursions,and promote decreases in waist circumference and BMI,with good safety.
