Lower Hypoglycemia Rates with Insulin Glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) vs. Insulin Degludec 100 U/mL (IDeg-100) in Insulin-Naïve Adults with T2DM on Oral Antihyperglycemic Therapy ± GLP-1RA—The BRIGHT Randomized Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This 24-week open-label, treat-to-target trial (NCT02738151) investigated the efficacy and safety of Gla-300 vs. IDeg-100 in insulin-naïve T2DM, inadequately controlled on oral antihyperglycemic drugs ± GLP-1 RAs. Non-inferiority of Gla-300 vs. IDeg-100 was demonstrated for the primary endpoint (HbA1c change, baseline to week 24). Here we analyzed hypoglycemia by treatment period; day 1 to week 24 (full study period), day 1 to week 12 (titration period) and week 13 to week 24 (maintenance period). Incidence of confirmed [≤70 mg/dL] or severe hypoglycemia at any time of day (24 h) was lower with Gla-300 vs. IDeg-100 (odds ratio 0.74 [95% confidence interval: 0.57 to 0.97]) during the titration period but was similar at any time of day (24 h) or at night (00:00-05:59 h) during the maintenance and full study periods. Annualized rates of hypoglycemia (Figure) were lower with Gla-300 vs. IDeg-100 during the full study period, particularly over the titration period, despite higher final daily doses of Gla-300 vs. IDeg-100 (0.54 and 0.43 U/kg from starting doses 0.2 U/kg and 10 U/day [0.12 U/kg], respectively). Gla-300 resulted in similar incidence but lower rates of hypoglycemia, particularly during the titration period, with comparable glycemic control vs. IDeg-100 in insulin-naïve people with T2DM ± GLP-1 RA.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
