Abstrakt: Context: Semaglutide, a once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 analog approved for use in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), demonstrated superior body weight (BW) reductions and decreased insulin resistance (IR) vs comparators across the Semaglutide Unabated Sustainability in Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes (SUSTAIN) 1-3 clinical trials.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between IR and BW across the SUSTAIN 1-3 trials.
Design: Post hoc analysis of the SUSTAIN 1-3 trials.
Setting: Three hundred and eleven sites in 30 countries.
Patients or Other Participants: 2432 subjects with T2D.
Interventions: Semaglutide 0.5 or 1.0 mg, placebo or active comparator (sitagliptin 100 mg, exenatide extended release 2.0 mg).
Main Outcome Measure: To assess the extent of the effect on IR that is mediated (indirect effect) and not mediated (direct effect) by the effect on BW.
Results: Across SUSTAIN 1-3, mean BW was significantly reduced with semaglutide 0.5 mg (3.7 kg to 4.3 kg; P < 0.0001) and semaglutide 1.0 mg (4.5 kg to 6.1 kg; P < 0.0001) vs comparators (1.0 kg to 1.9 kg). There were greater reductions in IR with semaglutide 0.5 mg (27% to 36%) and semaglutide 1.0 mg (32% to 46%) vs comparators (17% to 28%). Greater reductions in BW were generally associated with greater decreases in IR. The effect on IR was primarily mediated by weight loss (70% to 80% and 34% to 94%, for semaglutide 0.5 mg and 1.0 mg, respectively, vs comparator).
Conclusions: Semaglutide consistently reduced BW and IR in subjects with T2D in SUSTAIN 1-3. In this analysis, IR improvement was positively associated with, and primarily mediated by, the effect of semaglutide on BW.
