Results from the first retrospective observational study of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) treated with dapagliflozin (Forxiga) in routine UK primary care were presented at the 51st Congress of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Stockholm, Sweden.
Professor John Wilding, Head of the Department of Obesity and Endocrinology at the University of Liverpool, and study lead, commented: “We know that the meticulous care received by patients during clinical trials is difficult to replicate in general clinical practice. It is therefore encouraging to see that both the reductions in HbA1c and body weight seen in patients treated with dapagliflozin in trials were also seen in patients treated in UK primary care. As healthcare professionals, it is important that we can offer a treatment to our type 2 diabetes patients that we are confident will achieve results in the real-world that are consistent with the results of the clinical trial programme.
