766-P: Long-Term Effectiveness Associated with Maintenance Doses of Once-Weekly Semaglutide in U.S. Adults with Poorly Controlled Type 2 Diabetes

Introduction ≥0.5 mg; and 1 mg. Time to initiation (TTI) of new glucose‑lowering therapy (GLT) was assessed in patients (pts) reaching 1 mg within 1 year. Results: Among 2311 pts, the 1 mg group (50.2%) had worse overall health and T2D at baseline vs the 0.5 mg-only group (32.5%). There was a ~2.5% reduction in HbA1c in the second year of follow‑up, across all groups (Table). After reaching 1 mg sema, 29.5% of pts newly initiated any GLT, 14.9% initiated SGLT-2i and 6.9% insulin. Average TTI of any new GLT was 208 days. TTI of insulin or SGLT-2i after dose escalation to 1 mg was 235 days and 234 days, respectively, and from sema initiation was 312 and 310 days, respectively. Conclusion: In pts with poorly controlled T2D, sema maintenance doses were associated with a considerable reduction in HbA1c and delay in insulin initiation in a 2-year follow-up, highlighting the importance of a maintenance dose in such pts.
