Abstract
Introduction
Oral semaglutide provides an alternative to injectable glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) for treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The PIONEER REAL studies evaluate clinical outcomes of oral semaglutide treatment of T2D in a real-world setting. PIONEER REAL UK focused on adults living with T2D in the UK.
Methods
The multi-centre, prospective and non-interventional single-arm study enrolled 333 participants and followed them for 34–44 weeks. Participants were treated as part of routine clinical practice and had not been previously treated with injectable glucose-lowering medication. The primary endpoint was change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C) from baseline to end of study (EOS). Secondary endpoints included change in body weight, proportion of participants with HbA1C < 7% (53 mmol/mol) at EOS and proportion of participants with ≥ 1%-point HbA1C reduction and body weight reduction of ≥ 3% or ≥ 5% at EOS. Treatment satisfaction was assessed by Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) status and change.
Results
Of 333 participants, 299 completed the study and 227 were on treatment at EOS. People treated with oral semaglutide experienced significantly reduced HbA1C by an estimated change of – 1.1%-points (95% CI – 1.27 to – 0.96; P < 0.0001) or – 12.2 mmol/mol (CI – 13.87 to – 10.47; P < 0.0001). Estimated change in body weight was – 4.8 kg (CI – 5.47 to – 4.12; P < 0.0001). At EOS, an HbA1C level < 7% (53 mmol/mol) was recorded in 46.3% of participants. A ≥ 1%-point reduction in HbA1C combined with a ≥ 3% reduction in body weight was observed in 36.4% of participants, and 27.1% had a ≥ 1%-point reduction in HbA1C and a ≥ 5% body weight reduction. Treatment satisfaction improved significantly during the study. No new safety concerns or cases of severe hypoglycaemia were reported.
Conclusion
People living with T2D in the UK experienced a meaningful decrease in HbA1C and body weight after initiation of oral semaglutide treatment. No new safety issues were observed.

期刊介绍:
Advances in Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Advances in Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
