Hypoglycemia in the AWARD Studies
Across the AWARD studies, documented symptomatic hypoglycemia was defined as a PG ≤ 3.9 mmol/L (≤ 70 mg/dL) with or without signs or symptoms associated with hypoglycemia while severe hypoglycemia was defined as a hypoglycemic event that required the assistance of another person for treatment. Hypoglycemic events that occurred between bedtime and waking were designated as nocturnal.1-10
AWARD Studies in Which Patients Received Dulaglutide Without Concomitant Treatment With a Sulfonylurea or Insulin
In the 5 AWARD studies in which dulaglutide was not used concomitantly with a sulfonylurea or insulin, the duration of the studies ranged from 24 to 104 weeks. The incidence and mean rate, defined as episodes/patient/year, of documented symptomatic and severe hypoglycemia were similar across treatment groups (Table 1).1-5

Across the 5 AWARD studies, the incidence of documented symptomatic hypoglycemia ranged from
1.4% to 10.9% in the dulaglutide 1.5 mg treatment groups, and
2.1% to 6.3% in the dulaglutide 0.75 mg treatment groups.1-5,11
Of the patients treated with dulaglutide, severe hypoglycemia was only reported in 1 patient of whom received dulaglutide 0.75 mg.5
Hypoglycemia in the AWARD-11 Study
The AWARD-11 trial was a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel-arm study that assessed the efficacy and safety of dulaglutide 3.0 mg and dulaglutide 4.5 mg compared to dulaglutide 1.5 mg in patients with inadequately controlled T2DM on concomitant metformin therapy.12
Patients were treated for 52 weeks, which included a 12-week dose-escalation phase (Figure 1).11

In the clinical trial with patients receiving dulaglutide as add-on therapy to metformin, incidences of hypoglycemia, identified as a glucose level < 3 mmol/L (< 54 mg/dL), through 36 weeks were reported in
7 patients, 1.1%, on dulaglutide 1.5 mg
2 patients, 0.3%, on dulaglutide 3 mg, and
7 patients, 1.1%, on dulaglutide 4.5 mg.13
Incidences of severe hypoglycemia were experienced in
1 patient, 0.2%, on dulaglutide 1.5 mg
no patients on dulaglutide 3 mg, and
1 patient, 0.2%, on dulaglutide 4.5 mg.13
There was a consistent pattern of dose-related improvement in HbA1c, BW, and proportion of patients achieving glycemic target of HbA1c <7% at 36 and 52 weeks in patients escalated to dulaglutide 3.0 mg and 4.5 mg compared to patients maintained on dulaglutide 1.5 mg.12,14

AWARD Studies in Which Patients Received Dulaglutide and Concomitant Treatment With a Sulfonylurea or Insulin
In the 5 AWARD studies in which dulaglutide was used concomitantly with a sulfonylurea or insulin, the duration of the studies ranged from 24 to 78 weeks.6-10 Overall, the incidence and mean rate of documented symptomatic, nocturnal, and severe hypoglycemia were lower in patients treated with dulaglutide 1.5 mg or dulaglutide 0.75 mg compared with those treated with an active comparator along with a sulfonylurea or insulin.7,9,10
Across the 5 AWARD studies, the incidence of documented symptomatic hypoglycemia ranged from
11.3% to 80.8% in the dulaglutide 1.5 mg treatment groups, and
39% to 85.6% in the dulaglutide 0.75 mg treatment groups.6-10
The incidence of nocturnal hypoglycemia ranged from
6.7% to 54.3% in the dulaglutide 1.5 mg treatment groups, and
23.2% to 53.8% in the dulaglutide 0.75 mg treatment groups.6-10
The incidence of severe hypoglycemia ranged from
0% to 3.4% in the dulaglutide 1.5 mg treatment groups, and
0% to 3% in the dulaglutide 0.75 mg treatment groups.6-10
AWARD Studies With Insulin Glargine as Comparator
Overall, the incidence and mean rate of documented symptomatic, nocturnal, and severe hypoglycemia were lower in patients treated with dulaglutide 1.5 mg or dulaglutide 0.75 mg compared with those treated with the active comparator insulin glargine.7,9,10
Use of Dulaglutide With Medications Known to Cause Hypoglycemia
The risk of hypoglycemia is increased when dulaglutide is used in combination with insulin secretagogues, such as sulfonylureas, or insulin. Patients may require a lower dose of the sulfonylurea or insulin to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia in this setting.15
