Objectives: Semaglutide was approved for the treatment of T2DM patients with a body mass index (BMI) > 30kg/m2 by the Spanish National Health Service in May 2019. We evaluate clinical outcomes of patients on previous treatment with any another GLP1–RA that switch to Semaglutide.
Material and Methods: Retrospective analysis. Sixty–five T2DM patients were included. Demographic data, anthropometric, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting glucose (FG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and body composition data were collected at baseline and after 6 months of switching. Statistical analysis was performed with STATA 14. Paired T–student test for comparison between baseline and 6 months and logistic regression to evaluate Semaglutide dose (≤ 0.5 and 1.0 mg/weekly), age, sex, duration of T2DM, BMI and HbA1c at baseline as possible predictors of Semaglutide efficacy to achieve HbA1c <7%.
Results: Of 65 patients switching to semaglutide (4.6% on 0.25 mg/weekly, 66.15% on 0.5 mg/weekly and 23.07% on 1 mg/weekly), 54.68% were males and the median age was 60.66 ± 9.1 years. Mean duration of T2DM was 12.78 ± 8.2 years. Regarding previous GLP1–RA: 43.0%, 38.5%, 16.9% and 1.5% switch from liraglutide, dulaglutide, exenatide and lysixenatide respectively. Seven patients discontinue treatment because of gastrointestinal intolerance and data of 2 patients were missing, including 56 patients in the final analysis. Waist circumference changed in –2.02 cm (CI95% –3.62 to –0.41) and HbA1C in –0.39% (CI95% –0.74 to –0.05) after switching. There were no changes in other analyzed variables (Table). Semaglutide dose 1.0 mg/weekly (OR: 6.69; CI95% 1.14 to 39.24) and baseline HbA1c (OR 0, 37; CI95% 0.16 to 0.83) were independent predictors to achieve HbA1c <7% after switching to Semaglutide.

Conclusions: Patients with T2DM and obesity using previously GP1RA and switching to semaglutide 1 mg present better glycemic control and less waist circunference.
