The CONCLUDE trial addresses an important knowledge gap, providing head-to-head data for two long-acting insulin analogs – insulin degludec and insulin glargine 300. The insulins will be tested in people with type 2 diabetes that is poorly controlled on basal insulin with or without oral diabetes medications.
Athena Philis-Tsimikas discusses which patients may benefit the most from treatment with long-acting insulins, and how the data from CONCLUDE compare with real-world study findings (2:38).
Results from the CONCLUDE trial were presented at the 55th EASD Annual Meeting (EASD 2019):
