Thoughts on CONCLUDE (H2H Tresiba vs. Toujeo T2DM Basal-only Trial)

Novo Nordisk presented results at EASD from CONCLUDE, its Tresiba vs. Toujeo T2DM basal-only H2H study, and announced the results in a press release. While the trial failed to demonstrate a statistically significant benefit in the primary endpoint (severe or BG-confirmed symptomatic hypoglycemia), key secondary outcomes showed a clear benefit favoring Tresiba. It is a bit ironic that since the primary endpoint was not met, no conclusions can be made from the CONCLUDE secondary outcomes. Below, FENIX provides thoughts on the trial including a winners & losers analysis.
