    Aims: People with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥9% may benefit from fixed-ratio combination therapies such as iGlarLixi (insulin glargine 100 U/mL and lixisenatide 33 μg/mL). Use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is recommended, but data are lacking to assess the impact of iGlarLixi in individuals with HbA1c ≥9%. Materials and methods: Soli-CGM (NCT05114590) was a 16-week, multicentre, open-label study evaluating the efficacy of once-daily iGlarLixi using blinded CGM-based metrics in insulin-naive adults with HbA1c ≥9%-13% who were receiving ≥2 oral antihyperglycaemic agents (OADs) ± glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). The primary outcome was the change from baseline to week 16 in percent time in range (TIR; 70-180 mg/dL). Secondary outcomes included change in mean daily blood glucose (BG), maximum postprandial glucose 4 h post-breakfast (PPG-4 h), and time above range (TAR; >180 mg/dL). On-treatment hypoglycaemia was assessed. Results: The study enrolled 124 participants (mean age, 55.6 years; HbA1c, 10.2%). Sixteen weeks of treatment with iGlarLixi improved TIR (+26.2%), mean BG (-52.5 mg/dL), maximum PPG-4 h (-73.7 mg/dL), and TAR (-28.7%); all p < 0.001. Rates of American Diabetes Association level 1 (BG <70 but ≥54 mg/dL) and level 2 (BG <54 mg/dL) hypoglycaemia were reported as 1.4 and 0.6 events per person-year, respectively. No level 3 events (requiring assistance) were reported. Conclusions: In people with T2D suboptimally controlled on ≥2 OADs ± GLP-1 RAs, 16 weeks of treatment with iGlarLixi significantly improved TIR and reduced TAR without severe hypoglycaemia.
