Results:
Tirzepatide showed a significant reduction in A1C (up to 2.0%) and weight loss (up to 5.7 kg)
Mild gastrointestinal adverse events were reported
Trulicity
Eli Lilly presented the data of Trulicity demonstrating the significant reduction of cardiovascular events in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes. Trulicity (dulaglutide) administered once weekly.
About REWIND data:

Results: Value of risk reduction are
CV death: 0.78 to 1.06
Non-fatal heart attack: 0.79 - 1.16
Non-fatal stroke : 0.61 - 0.95
Ultra-rapid lisper
Eli Lilly presented the data of ultra-rapid lispro demonstrating non-inferiority compared to Humalog (insulin lispro) after 26 weeks in patients suffering from type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus.
About PRONTO-T1D and PRONTO-T2D (Phase 3):
The studies included 1,222 and 673 patients respectively.
Endpoint: Non-inferiority in A1C reduction
Results: Glucose monitoring was performed continuously. In the day time, ultra-rapid lispro showed better efficacy than insulin lispro. It showed similar efficacy as Humalog at night time.
Tradjenta
Eli Lilly has presented efficacy of Tradjenta (linagliptin). In CAROLINA trial, it was demonstrated linagliptin did not increase cardiovascular risk. Glimepiride was used as a comparator in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
About CAROLINA study:
Endpoint: 3P MACE
Results: 11.8% on Tradjenta arm vs. 12.0% on glimepride arm
ABBOTT
Abbott’s presented the data of Freestyle Libre System showing the significant reduction in HbA1C levels. FreeStyle Libre System is a continuous glucose monitoring system. The research was conducted in 363 patients in France, Germany, and Austria. HbA1c levels were dropped by 1%. No major difference found in terms of age, sex and BMI.
The Freestyle Libre System is currently available in 46 countries, with more than 1.5 million patients using it.
SANOFI
Soliqua
Sanofi presented the data of Soliqua in adult patients suffering from type-2 diabetes mellitus. Soliqua/Suliqua (insulinglargine + lixisenatide) shown superiority in the reduction of HbA1c after 26 weeks.

Soliqua was compared with GLP-1 RA therapy. The study included 514 adult patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus.
Endpoint: Reduction in blood sugar level (HbA1c) after 26 weeks.
Results: 0.6% greater reduction in HbA1c versus GLP-1 RA treatment.
Toujeo
Sanofi has presented a head-to-head study of Toujeo (insulin glargine injection) versus Tresiba (insulin degludec).
About the BRIGHT study:
Endpoint: Reduction in blood sugar level (HbA1C)
Results: -1.72% on Toujeo arm vs. -1.30% on Tresiba arm
Lower event rate in patients with the normal renal function was observed in Toujeo arm compared to Tresiba arm (6.5 vs. 10.4 events/patient/year)
