Novo Nordisk has been granted marketing authorization by the European Commission for a new injectable, Xultophy, for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes in adults.
Xultophy is the brand name for IDegLira, the first once-daily single injection combination of insulin degludec (Tresiba) and liraglutide (Victoza).
Data presented today at the 50th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) show that Ryzodeg (insulin degludec/insulin aspart) administered twice daily, provides successful glycaemic control with fewer injections than a basal-bolus regimen for type 2 diabetes patients.
Ryzodeg is a combination of two distinct insulin analogues , insulin degludec (Tresiba) and insulin aspart (Novolog) in the ratio of 70% and 30%, making it the first combination of a basal insulin with an ultra-long duration of action and a well-established mealtime insulin in one pen for people with type 2 diabetes.
Today, at the 50th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Novo Nordisk announced new data from the BEGIN® YOUNG 1 trial. The study investigates once-daily Tresiba (insulin degludec) versus basal insulin Levemir (detemir), both in combination with bolus insulin Novolog (aspart) in a 52-week trial in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. This trial is the first to look into the long-term safety of Tresiba in children and adolescents (from age 1 to less than 18 years) and the results show that Tresiba in combination with Novolog (Novorapid) effectively improved long-term glycemic control.
