A Randomized, Phase 3, Open-label Trial Comparing the Effect of the Addition of Tirzepatide Once Weekly Versus Insulin Lispro (U100) Three Times Daily in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes Inadequately Controlled on Insulin Glargine (U100) With or Without Metformin (SURPASS-6)
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of the study drug tirzepatide to insulin lispro (U100) three times a day in participants with type 2 diabetes that are already on insulin glargine (U100), with or without metformin.
Conditions: Type 2 Diabetes.
Primary outcome: Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (Pooled Doses of Tirzepatide 5 mg, 10 mg and 15 mg).
Enrollment: 1428 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 1,428 participants or records.
