Abstract


The efficacy of dasiglucagon 0.6 mg, a glucagon analog stable in aqueous formulation, has been established versus placebo in previously reported trials in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus. An integrated analysis was conducted to investigate efficacy in demographic and other subgroups. To allow as many individuals as possible in the evaluation, the analysis comprised data from 4 trials in adults, including 2 pivotal trials, an additional phase 3 trial, and a phase 2 trial. The trials were conducted under similar conditions with respect to design characteristics, such as target population, background therapy and treatment duration. All trials included efficacy assessments following insulin-induced hypoglycemia and showed consistent efficacy results across trials. The primary endpoint was time to plasma glucose (PG) recovery, defined as first PG increase ≥ 20 mg/dL after treatment initiation without need for rescue intravenous glucose. A total of 220 participants were exposed to dasiglucagon 0.6 mg across trials. Results of the integrated analysis are shown as a Forest plot of median time to PG recovery for dasiglucagon, including 95% confidence intervals by subgroup. In conclusion, the results showed that the efficacy of dasiglucagon was highly consistent across subgroups, with a median time to recovery from insulin-induced hypoglycemia of 10 minutes in most groups.
