SoliMix Trial
When managing type 2 diabetes, the once-daily iGlarLixi (Soliqua) edged out the twice-daily premix insulin analog BIAsp 30, according to the SoliMix trial.
The 26-week, open-label trial included adults with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, defined as a baseline HbA1c between 7.5% and 10%. All participants were on basal insulin, as well as oral antidiabetic agents.
Approved in 2016, iGlarLixi is a fixed-ratio combination of insulin glargine 100 U/mL (iGlar) and the GLP-1 receptor agonist lixisenatide (Lixi). BIAsp 30 is biphasic insulin aspart 30/70, and is a premixed injectable insulin analogue with 30% soluble, rapid-acting insulin aspart plus 70% intermediate-acting protamine-bound aspart.
