The AWARD-5 and AWARD-6 studies were two phase 3 studies that assessed the efficacy and safety of dulaglutide in combination with metformin, without additional glucose lowering agents, in patients with T2DM.1-3
AWARD-5 Study
The AWARD-5 study was an adaptive, multicenter, randomized, 104-week, double-blind study that compared once-weekly dulaglutide 1.5 mg and dulaglutide 0.75 mg treatments with once-daily sitagliptin 100 mg and placebo in patients with T2DM inadequately controlled with metformin.3
At the primary endpoint of 52 weeks, in comparison with sitagliptin taken with metformin, dulaglutide taken with metformin resulted in significantly greater reductions in HbA1c, FPG, BW, and significantly greater proportions of patients who achieved target HbA1c levels (p<.05).2
AWARD-6 Study
The AWARD-6 study was a phase 3, randomized, 26-week, parallel-arm, open-label, active-comparator, noninferiority study that compared once-weekly dulaglutide 1.5 mg with once-daily liraglutide 1.8 mg in patients with T2DM who were unable to achieve optimal glycemic control with metformin.1
Both dulaglutide and liraglutide were administered SC in patients with T2DM who were unable to achieve optimal glycemic control with metformin.4
Dulaglutide was noninferior to liraglutide based on the change in HbA1c from baseline to 26 weeks. Treatment with both dulaglutide and liraglutide resulted in significant reductions in HbA1c from baseline, and changes in HbA1c were similar between groups (p<.0001).1
Both treatment groups also experienced reductions from baseline to 26 weeks in FSG, PPG, and BW (Table 1).1

a Once-daily liraglutide was dosed at 0.6 mg daily during week 1, 1.2 mg daily during week 2, and 1.8 mg daily thereafter.
AWARD-5 and AWARD-6 Safety Data
The most commonly reported AEs in AWARD-5 and AWARD-6 were
There were no severe hypoglycemic events reported in AWARD-5 or AWARD-6. The incidence of total hypoglycemia was
similar to that reported with other GLP-1 RAs5, and
numerically greater for dulaglutide than liraglutide or sitagliptin.1,2
