Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Efficacy and safety of insulin degludec biosimilar B01411 versus originator insulin degludec in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on oral antidiabetic drugs: a multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase 3 study.
To compare the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec biosimilar B01411 (HS-IDeg) with originator insulin degludec-Tresiba (NN-IDeg) in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who were inadequately controlled on oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) for at least 3 months. ⋯ HS-IDeg and NN-IDeg demonstrated similar efficacy and safety over 18 weeks of treatment in Chinese patients with T2DM who had inadequate responses to OADs for at least 3 months.

This study involved an analysis of a real world, international survey where physicians provided cross-sectional, retrospective data for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) to determine predictive factors of right heart catheterization (RHC) to confirm their PAH diagnosis. ⋯ By understanding the factors associated with RHC utilization at PAH diagnosis, more targeted approaches for improving the diagnosis for patients with suspected PAH may be pursued.
