New ADA/EASD Guidelines Recommend GLP-1RA Over Insulin and Make Other New H2H Drug Recommendations

ADA and EASD have updated their T2DM consensus guidelines (journal publication) with notable changes to the framework of the treatment algorithm (pictured below). Now, the algorithm takes a patient-centric approach and suggests a stepwise methodology based on the highest priority for the patient (ASCVD, CKD, hypoglycemia minimization, weight loss, and cost). Importantly, the guidelines recommend the use of GLP-1RA over insulin as the first injectable therapy as well as other in-class H2H drug recommendations. Below, FENIX provides a winners-and-losers analysis, highlights of the guideline updates, and how the identified knowledge gaps may be addressed.

HARMONY Superior; REWIND and PIONEER-6 Expectations High

Full results from the albiglutide CVOT, HARMONY Outcomes, have been published in the Lancet and were presented at EASD 2018. As somewhat of a surprise, results demonstrated a 22% RRR in the 3P-MACE primary endpoint (p=0.0006). In a press release, GSK announced the results and disclosed they are “exploring opportunities to divest this medicine to a company with the right expertise and resources to realise its full potential for patients.” Recall, FENIX recently presented a scenario highlighting a strong possibility that HARMONY could show superiority including GSK likely divesting albiglutide for its re-commercialization. Below, FENIX provides perspective on the potential market implications in a winners & losers analysis, as well as who albiglutide suitors are unlikely to be.

HARMONY @ EASD: Why You, AZ, and LLY, Should Care

With the upcoming Tanzeum CVOT (HARMONY Outcomes) presentation at EASD 2018 (Tues Oct 2 at 1200pm CET) and in the context of the DECLARE topline results and EXSCEL EU label update for Bydureon (previous FENIX insight), FENIX has conducted an analysis that describes the rationale where by HARMONY Outcomes could act as a potential catalyst for AZ to conduct their next large T2DM CVOT, either as GLP-1RA+SGLT2i or GLP-1/GCG dual-agonist on SGLT2i background therapy. In conjunction, FENIX has conducted a pieces-of-the-puzzle analysis that balances the likelihood HARMONY reads out positive for superiority at EASD.
