Advancing insulin therapy in clinical practice
Options for advancing basal insulin therapy in adults with insufficiently controlled T2D include:
FRC, fixed-ratio combination; GLP-1 RA, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist; T2D, Type 2 diabetes. Davies MJ, et al. Diabetes Care 2018;61:2461–98.

Significantly higher proportion of patients treated with iGlarLixi
reached HbA1c targets of <7% (LixiLan-L study)
Higher proportion of iGlarLixi-treated patients achieved glycemic targets with a beneficial effect
on body weight, no additional risk of hypoglycemia, and low levels of GI adverse effects compared
to iGlar in basal uncontrolled long-standing T2DM.
LixiLan-G was a randomized, controlled, open-label 26-week, study comparing iGlarLixi with prior GLP-1 RA regimen.
LixiLan-G extension study is a 26-week, single-arm extension of LixiLan-G to determine the durability of iGlarLixi
efficacy and safety over 52 weeks.

iGlarLixi: Dose and Dose Titration
Dose must be individualized based on fasting plasma glucose and titrated in accordance
with individual patient needs
Previous therapy
Weekly dose adjustment based on mean fasting SMPG from the last 3 days
The starting dose of iGlarLixi should not exceed the recommended lixisenatide starting dose of 10 mcg.
*If a different basal insulin was taken:
For twice daily basal insulin or glargineU300, the total daily dose previously taken should be reduced by 20% to choose the iGlarLixi starting dose.
For any other basal insulin the same rule as for insulin glargine (U100) should be applied.

iGlarLixi is a synergistic once daily combination injectable of basal insulin glargine U100 and
prandial GLP-1RA lixisenatide that provides effective fasting and post-prandial glycemic control.
Soli-D trial indicates that iGlarLixi is a simple, well-tolerated treatment that has shown better
glycaemic control with added body weight benefit and lower risk of hypoglycaemia events
compared with IDegAsp.
SoliMix trial indicates that the iGlarLixi is efficacious, simpler, well-tolerated, provided better
glycemic control with weight benefit, and less hypoglycemia compared with twice daily
BIAsp30.
