INTRODUCTION: This post hoc analysis evaluated subgroup data from China (Chinese mainland, n = 100
Taiwan, n = 45) in ONWARDS 3, a 26-week, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, treat-to-target, phase 3a trial comparing the efficacy and safety of once-weekly insulin icodec (icodec) versus once-daily insulin degludec (degludec) in insulin-naive participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS: Adults were randomized 1:1 to icodec and once-daily placebo (icodec
n = 72) or degludec and once-weekly placebo (degludec
n = 73). The primary endpoint was change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA RESULTS: At week 26, from baseline values of 8.22% (icodec) and 8.39% (degludec), estimated mean changes in HbA CONCLUSION: In insulin-naive Chinese individuals with T2D, once-weekly icodec treatment showed significantly greater HbA GOV IDENTIFIER: NCT04795531.
