956-P: Efficacy and Safety of Oral Semaglutide When Added to Basal, Premix, or Basal-Bolus Insulin
Bibliographic record
Abstract
An exploratory subgroup analysis of the 52-week, double-blind PIONEER 8 trial (NCT03021187) evaluated the effect of background insulin regimen (basal, premixed, or basal-bolus) with or without metformin on the efficacy and safety of oral semaglutide (sema). Patients (pts) (N=731) with type 2 diabetes and treated with insulin were randomized to once-daily oral sema (3, 7, or 14 mg) or placebo (pbo). Endpoints included change from baseline in HbA1c, body weight (BW), and total daily insulin dose at week 52. Baseline age and HbA1c were similar across insulin regimen subgroups whereas BW was greater and diabetes duration was longer in pts on basal-bolus vs. basal and premix subgroups. There were greater dose-dependent HbA1c and BW reductions with oral sema vs. pbo; these were generally similar across all insulin subgroups (Table). Total daily insulin dose at week 52 was decreased for pts on basal (oral sema 7 and 14 mg), premix (oral sema 14 mg), and basal-bolus (oral sema 3, 7, and 14 mg), mainly driven by the bolus component for pts on basal-bolus (Table). Most hypoglycemic episodes were in pts on basal-bolus insulin. Fewer pts had hypoglycemia with oral sema vs. pbo except in the basal-bolus subgroup (Table). In conclusion, oral sema reduced HbA1c and BW in a dose-dependent manner, and reduced insulin dose regardless of background insulin regimen, with a safety profile similar to other glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists.

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.
